As the largest moving component of your home is it vital to have your Garage Door serviced on a regular basis to keep it operating in a safe condition for you and your family.
The most common problems we see is the springs which hold the tension of the door snapping as well as the cables fraying over time and doing the same. This could potentially cause damage to the door or even cause injury if anyone is close by.
We recommend servicing your Garage Door at least once per year, if parts on the door look weathered and warn or if you notice any problems.
If you need a sectional, roller or custom garage door installed we can help. With over 10 years of installation experience, we pride ourselves in quality professional work that will have your garage door lasting a lifetime.
Simple maintenance of COLORBOND® steel by regular washing with clean, fresh water will not only prolong its life but also maintain its attractiveness for longer periods thus protecting your asset. Applications where the paint finish is naturally washed by rainwater do not usually require this maintenance, e.g. roofing. However, some areas such as wall cladding under eaves, the top of garage doors and the underside of eave gutters are often not washed by rainwater, and so require some attention. Ensure these ‘unwashed’ areas are hosed down at least every six months and more frequently in coastal areas where marine salt spray is prevalent, and in areas where high levels of industrial fallout occur. It is also important to ensure that there is no build-up of debris, such as soil and mulch against COLORBOND® steel products.
If cared for in this way, your building components made from COLORBOND® steel should give many years of easy maintenance life.
We recommend inspecting the condition of your garage door every 6 months, clean the tracking system with a CRC on an old rag making sure no residue remains. It is important not to use CRC for lubrication purposes, we recommend silicone or white spray grease for all hinges, bearings and springs. Do not apply thick grease on any components of the door, it attracts a lot of dirt and will eventually cause the garage door to bind.
