Protect your Home, your Family and your Garage Door Investment
Read the Blog Article below and understand why you should service your garage door once a year…
At Purple Patch Doors, we strongly recommend that you should service your garage door once a year to ensure it’s safe, efficient, and in top working condition. Your garage door is one of the largest moving parts in your home—and often the most overlooked. Whether it’s going up and down multiple times a day or staying shut for long periods, your garage door works hard all year round.
Annual servicing is not just about convenience—it’s about protecting your home and preventing potentially dangerous or costly issues down the line.
🛠️ Why is an Annual Service important?
- Catch Wear and Tear Early
Garage doors have many moving parts—springs, cables, hinges, rollers, and tracks—that wear down over time. Without regular servicing, small issues can quickly turn into expensive repairs.
✔ A once-a-year service allows our trained technicians to identify worn components and fix or replace them before they fail.
- Prevent Dangerous Situations
A failing spring or snapped cable can be extremely dangerous. These high-tension components are under constant pressure, and when they break, they can cause serious injury or property damage.
Common safety risks include:
- Springs snapping without warning
- Cables fraying or failing
- Door panels becoming unstable or jammed
Annual servicing ensures these components are tensioned, lubricated, and safe.
- Improve Garage Door Lifespan
Just like your car needs regular maintenance, your garage door system does too. Professional servicing helps:
- Prevent rust and corrosion
- Ensure correct door alignment
- Extend the life of your opener and motor
- Reduce noise and vibrations
A well-maintained door can last 10–20 years or more, while neglected systems often fail much sooner.
- Ensure Safety Features Work Properly
All modern automatic garage doors come with built-in safety features, like auto-reverse sensors and force settings. These features need to be tested and calibrated regularly to protect children, pets, and vehicles.
During an annual service, we:
- Test sensor alignment and responsiveness
- Check force sensitivity
- Inspect and adjust the travel limits
- Ensure all safety systems are functioning
- Save Money in the Long Run
Preventative maintenance is always cheaper than emergency repairs. Catching minor issues early means fewer breakdowns, less inconvenience, and less damage to surrounding components.
💡 A small investment in an annual service can save you hundreds—if not thousands—in major repair or replacement costs later.
