Tips

Check out these tips and see how easier garage door maintenance will be when you have some extra help

Check the cables of a jammed garage door

The most common cause of this type of problem is a broken lift cable. Our specialists in Hilliard explain that lift cables are the ones which connect the spring or springs to the bottom brackets of the door. If the cables are intact, you should inspect the garage door tracks for bending.

Provide basic cleaning to the garage door opener remote

You should clean the plastic casing with alcohol to remove dirt and grime. Use a toothpick to remove dirt which is stuck around the button or buttons of the remote. Remove the batteries and clean the battery compartment with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Remember to clean the battery contacts as well.

Stop the garage door opener immediately in case of malfunctioning

This is essential for protecting the device from further damage and the hardware components of the door as well. The skilled technicians of Garage Door Repair Hilliard recommend that the opener is disconnected from both its power source and from the door for complete safety. The device must be inspected and fixed without delay.
