Why regular garage door servicing matters
Most people don’t think about garage door servicing until something goes wrong. Yet your garage door is one of the hardest-working parts of your home. It opens and closes hundreds of times a year, protects your belongings from the weather, and helps keep your home secure.
At JMC Garage Doors, we see first-hand how regular maintenance can prevent breakdowns, improve safety, and extend the life of your door. That’s why we recommend scheduling a garage door service at least once a year – before small issues become big, expensive repairs.
The Benefits of Garage Door Servicing
Routine servicing might sound like a chore, but it pays off in several ways:
- safety and peace of mind: a garage door under tension can weigh over 100kg. Frayed cables, worn springs or misaligned tracks can become hazards. Regular inspections help catch problems early.
- smoother, quieter operation: servicing reduces squeaks, sticking, or sudden jolts. Your door will glide more smoothly, making everyday use a lot more pleasant.
- longer lifespan: Just as you service your car, servicing your garage door keeps all the moving parts working well for longer.
- protecting your warranty: many manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep warranties valid.
What a Professional Service Includes
When you book a garage door service in Canberra or Queanbeyan with JMC Garage Doors, our experienced technicians carry out a full inspection and tune-up. This typically includes:
- checking springs, cables, rollers, hinges and tracks
- lubricating moving parts
- tightening loose bolts and hardware
- testing safety features on automatic openers
- balancing the door for smooth operation
We also give you an honest assessment of your door’s condition and recommendations for any repairs or upgrades.
How Often Should You Service Your Garage Door?
For most households, once a year is ideal. If your garage door is used multiple times a day, or is part of a business premises, servicing every six months is a smart move. This reduces the risk of breakdowns and extends the door’s lifespan.
