Often we don’t think of Garage Door maintenance until something breaks. Garage doors have heavy duty springs that make it possible for your garage to open and close swiftly. These powerful springs, along with cables and rollers, easily lift a door that weighs several hundred pounds. However, if these springs aren’t maintained properly, they can become extremely dangerous.
Whether you have a flip-out or roller garage door, at some point you will have to repair or entirely replace the springs. Now you’ll have to decide whether you want to fix it yourself or have a licensed trusted contractor do it for you. If you’re comfortable around tools, dangerous equipment, and can follow detailed instructions, then you have a good chance of successfully repairing the springs yourself and save money. However, if you haven’t worked on your garage door or aren’t mechanically inclined, you’ll save yourself a huge headache by hiring a licensed contractor to do it for you.
Now if you think about your garage door spring, how it lifts a 400 lb. plus door, several times a day. Now imagine one of those springs being damaged, and suddenly releasing when they weren’t supposed to; that is how a “dangerous situation” happens quickly. Never, ever try to repair your garage door springs when the door is closed. That is when the springs are stretched and can release a tremendous amount of energy if you attempt to fix them.
We rely on our garage doors for so much. Year round security, in the summer for all the ups and downs for bikes and kids toys, and in the winter to keep the heat in our home and our cars safe and clean. Consider a Prevenative Maintenance Program that will provide a yearly check up, keeping the parts working so your family can keep moving.
Over the past half-century, new homes constructed in the United States have overwhelmingly included attached garages over detached garages. The reasons for this are numerous. An attached garage keeps you warm in the cold weather and dry in the rain. An attached garage becomes an extension of your home, like an addition. New terms like “garage band” have been coined to mark the integration of the garage into home life.
Because of the rise of attached garages, the garage door has become a main access point for the home: rather than parking cars in a detached garage and entering their homes through a traditional door, people drive directly into the garage. A 21st century family with an attached garage might go weeks without using their front door!
As a main access point for the home, the garage door has become a focus for aesthetics and quality. Garage door manufacturers have responded to consumer demand, introducing new products that can be more beautiful and well made than the front door of your home.
In addition to their traditional line of metal garage doors, leading manufacturer Wayne Dalton has introduced a line of rugged, durable wooden garage doors in response to consumer demand for high quality and a finished appearance. Hand-crafted in Ohio Amish country, these garage doors combine the classic, custom appearance of carriage doors with modern accessibility and safety. These are investment-quality doors, and will add value to any home. They are easy to maintain, and are compatible with most automatic garage door openers, including Wayne Dalton product lines.
Purchase Wayne Dalton garage doors through the Hamilton Parker Company, the leading garage door retailer in Columbus, OH. Hamilton Parker offers garage door installation services as well!
