Common Causes of Garage Door Breakdown

When any part of your garage door breaks down, you will experience challenges when using it. In most instances, door breakdowns are as a result of tear and wear. This means that you have the responsibility of maintaining your garage door as recommended by the manufacturer for it to last longer.

Here are the causes of garage door breakdown:

• Garage door springs bear a lot of strain as they keep the door in place. With time, this weight can break the springs. With broken springs, the garage door will cease to serve you reliably.
• The second cause of garage door breakdown is broken cables. It is these cables that help you lift open and close your garage door. The strains occasioned by constant opening and closing results into tear and wear as well as the ultimate unreliability of your garage door.
• Worn out rollers are also a common cause of garage door breakdown. Your sliding garage door will not open easily if, by any chance, the rollers are off the track or broken. If you fail to address this on time, there is the likelihood of further damages rendering your door unusable.
• Worn out hardware is also a possible breeding ground for garage door breakdowns. Some of these hardware includes hinges and bolts that can get rusty over the years. With rusty parts, your garage door will not serve you effectively.

However, these breakdowns can be addressed, and your door’s functionality restored.
