How Often Should You Schedule Maintenance?
We recommend professional maintenance at least once per year. However, homes with heavy garage door usage (4+ cycles per day) or extreme weather exposure should consider twice-yearly service. Between professional visits, perform these monthly tasks:
- Visually inspect springs, cables, and rollers for wear
- Test the auto-reverse by placing an object in the door's path
- Clean the photo-eye sensors
- Listen for unusual sounds during operation
