LaGrange garage doors are an investment, so you’ll want to maintain them so that they last as long as possible. Not only is their outer physical appearance important, but their functionality is as well. LaGrange garage doors work hard to handle the heavy weight of the door, so it’s not uncommon that they will need repairs every so often to continue doing their job. That being said, most people aren’t excited about big repairs, but there are actually small things that a person can do maintain the functionality of their garage.
This article introduces small ways that you can care for your Clermont garage door, but it doesn’t mean that it will never need maintenance. It does mean, however, that you won’t need maintenance as often, which is great news for a house owner.
Weather
It’s important to note that cold weather will affect the functionality of your LaGrange garage door. Cold weather can cause the rollers to get stiff or your door to freeze shut. The best way to protect against cold weather is to lubricate any moving parts. You can also update your weather seals, make sure the snow is shoveled around your Clermont garage door, and place a heater inside your garage.
Batteries
This may seem obvious, but many people forget to check their batteries before calling us. Your LaGrange garage door may not be opening because the remote or transmitters don’t have working batteries. That being said, before jumping to conclusions that your garage is broken, make sure to check if the batteries are still alive.
Regular Checkups
Don’t forget the power of getting regular checkups. When you get an inspection, we will be able to identify if any of your Clermont garage door parts are having problems. By doing so, we can fix the problem before it becomes more severe, and more expensive.
If you want to maintain your LaGrange garage door, you should take small, preventative measures to do so. If you need an inspection or repair, call us at Hudson Valley Overhead Doors & Operators.
