Making Sure the Job is Done Right

A properly installed garage door isn't only about looking good but also functioning correctly for years to come. Even small installation errors could lead to bigger issues down the line such as uneven wear of parts or operational failures.

Which Part of the Garage Door that constantly needed to be replaced?

The garage door is a complex system made up of several parts, each playing a vital role in its operation. But like all mechanical systems, wear and tear are inevitable over time. So which parts need regular replacement? Let's explore.

Garage Door Springs

Often underestimated but critical for smooth functioning, garage door springs bear the heavy lifting. The lifespan of these springs can vary depending on usage and maintenance but generally needs replacing every 7-9 years.In fact, it’s not uncommon for us at Cade Garage Door Repair to get calls about broken or worn-out springs. Remember though - trying to replace them yourself can be dangerous due to their high tension; it's always best left to professionals.

Rollers

Apart from the springs, rollers are another component you might find needing frequent attention. These small wheels allow your garage door to move smoothly along its tracks. Over time though they may start sticking or squeaking – a clear sign they're ready for an upgrade. Rollers typically have a lifespan between 10-15 years under normal conditions but harsh weather could mean more frequent replacements.

Cables

If you notice your garage door hanging at an angle or having trouble opening/closing completely - check out those cables. Like any other part under constant strain, cables undergo wear and tear over time, affecting their strength and efficiency. We recommend a professional inspection every year to keep these vital components in check.

Weatherstripping

Last but not least on our list is the weatherstripping - your garage door's best defense against mother nature. This rubber seal at the bottom of your door can crack or harden with age, reducing its effectiveness in keeping out rain, snow, dust or even pests. Regular replacement (around every 2-5 years) will help maintain an energy-efficient home.
