Do you have one of those beautiful Tivoli garage doors? Then, you know how important it is to keep your door in a good operating shape to avoid malfunctions and problems. Automatic garage doors are beautiful and they serve their purpose perfectly- they open and close smoothly every single day, several times per fay, all year round. This would be the ideal scenario.
If you want to keep your garage door opening and closing smoothly, there are a few maintenance steps you can implement.
Inspecting Tivoli garage doors at least once a month– it really takes 10 minutes of your time once a month to ensure everything functions properly. Carefully inspect your garage door and ensure there are no broken springs, rust spots or frayed wires visible. You should also keep a close eye on the track of the garage door to ensure it is not bent.
Keep your garage door components well lubricated– when you carry out your monthly inspection, see if the hinges, the rollers and the tracks of the door need lubrication. Experts agree it is enough to perform lubrication only once or twice a year, so you do not have to perform this task each month. Remember that your garage door is basically heavy machinery that “works” well, opens and closes smoothly only if these components are kept well lubricated.
Most garage doors are equipped with what is called a “photo eye”. The purpose of this component is to help keeping people away from getting trapped under the door when it is closed. It is a good idea to test this feature and ensure everything works properly.
By carrying out these simple tasks you can ensure that your garage door works without problems. Whenever you encounter an issue that you cannot fix yourself, you should immediately contact the garage door installation company. The experts will arrive to the premises and carry out any repair or servicing required. You spent a good amount of money on your beautiful garage door, so take care of it by inspecting it regularly.
