Our signature garage door maintenance, tune-up, and safety inspection service is designed to confirm compliance across our service area while identifying and addressing potential risks to the safety and reliability of the system. By promptly addressing the highest-priority equipment issues identified during inspections, we ensure an optimal level of safety and functionality.

Scheduled maintenance should occur within a designated timeframe and at regular intervals, either in accordance with manufacturer guidelines or upon customer request. This service includes preventive and remedial measures, covering both mechanical and technical aspects. The goal is to ensure the functional and structural integrity of the garage door and its mechanisms, prevent fire and electrical hazards, minimize operational risks, and ensure a satisfactory level of performance.

Optimizing for Performance

Our maintenance and inspection service is carried out on-site by our in-house certified technicians, who possess experience, knowledge, and understanding of various garage door systems, as well as the operating components of the garage doors and maintenance planning. The work may include:

  • Inspect the overall condition of the garage door.

  • Inspect the components and safety features of the garage door opener.

  • Inspect the garage frame, fixtures, and supporting brackets.

  • Inspect moving parts such as rollers, hinges, and bearings.

  • Align and adjust system components.

  • Test the garage door's balance and torque levels.

  • Recalibrate the springs, torsion system or hinges on one-piece garage doors.

Improving Performance & Efficiency

Compliance & Safety Standard

As part of our signature maintenance service, we perform testing and inspections of the electric operator's safety devices. Our objectives include maintaining and improving safe operating conditions established by regulatory agencies, confirming compliance with operational limits and conditions, and identifying and correcting abnormal conditions before incidents occur.

The maintenance process includes both the garage door and the automatic garage door opener to ensure seamless integration between these two systems. Our certified technicians utilize analytical methods to identify operating conditions that deviate from standards and the manufacturer's design intent. They then assess whether the mechanisms are suitable for ongoing safe operation or if remedial measures are necessary.

Compliance Monitoring

Safety Features in Modern Garage Door Systems

Our current procedures involve testing Class 1 applicable products:

Type A - RPM Sensor: The RPM sensor measures the rotational speed of the opener's electric motor. This system is designed to change the trajectory of the garage door if the circuit detects a sudden change in the motor's rotational speed, converting the change into an electrical output. In practical terms, the RPM sensor will signal a vertically moving overhead garage door to reverse its direction or stop upon coming into contact with an obstruction.

Type B1 - Photoelectric Sensor: The garage door photo eyes are designed to detect objects and changes in surface and structural conditions by generating electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Type B1 safety systems consist of a transmitter sensor that emits EMR light and a receiver sensor that captures the light. When the emitted light is obstructed or interrupted, the collected light by the receiver sensor is reduced or completely blocked. This system alters the trajectory of the garage door during the closing cycle if the circuit detects a sudden change in the amount of light received by the receiver sensor.

Common Questions

For regular use (2-4 times a day), the recommended time interval is 12 months. If the garage door sees frequent use (more than 5 times a day), the interval can be reduced to every 6 months.

Garage door maintenance serves several essential purposes, including minimizing downtime, preventing unexpected breakdowns, increasing equipment life expectancy, reducing maintenance costs by preventing major issues, improving performance and efficiency, minimizing liability exposure, and lowering the likelihood of accidents.

Our certified technicians are skilled in performing maintenance tasks and safety inspections. They are trained to identify defects in overhead door systems or components that could significantly impact long-term operation or pose unreasonable risks to people and the surroundings.

Abnormal operating conditions for garage doors include imbalanced doors, incorrect force levels applied to the electric motor, misaligned torsion assembly components, and wobbly or loose hinges or tracks.

Regular maintenance, tune-ups, inspections, and equipment testing are the most efficient ways to prevent breakdowns and ensure the functional and structural integrity of your garage doors.
