Key Components Checked During Garage Door Maintenance

A professional maintenance visit focuses on the parts that experience the most stress during daily operation. Each component plays a critical role in safety and performance.

Rollers and Tracks

Rollers guide the door along its tracks. Dirt buildup, worn bearings, or bent tracks can cause jerky movement or noise. Cleaning and lubrication restore smooth operation and reduce friction.

Springs and Cables

Garage door springs carry the weight of the door and are essential for smooth lifting and lowering. During maintenance, technicians inspect springs for wear, rust, or loss of tension, and cables for fraying or imbalance.

Hinges and Hardware

Bolts, brackets, and hinges naturally loosen over time due to vibration. Tightening and adjusting these components keeps the door stable and aligned.

Safety Features

Modern garage doors include safety sensors and auto-reverse systems. Maintenance ensures these features function properly, protecting people, pets, and vehicles.

About Richmond

Richmond blends historic neighborhoods with rapidly redeveloped residential corridors. Homes range from early 1900s construction in areas like The Fan and Church Hill to newer townhomes and suburban-style properties in Short Pump and Midlothian-adjacent sections. Garage door needs vary widely based on age, design, and usage patterns.

Climate Impact on Richmond Garage Doors

Richmond experiences hot, humid summers and colder winter stretches with frequent freeze–thaw cycles. This combination places stress on torsion springs, accelerates corrosion on rollers and cables, and shortens the lifespan of bottom seals and weatherstripping.
