Your garage door is integral to home maintanance but is frequently ignored until there's a problem. Although DIY garage door repairs may seem like a good option for those who love doing things themselves at home, some repairs are intricate and possibly dangerous, too. When handled without professional knowledge, we have witnessed how minor problems turn into major ones. In this blog post, we will discuss the most complex issues arising from DIY garage door repairs and why calling a professional is usually a safer and better option.
A problem that is very common with DIY garage door repairs involves the garage door transmitter. It can be frustrating when your garage door does not respond to the remote control. Many people who do DIY work often try to fix these problems by changing batteries or reprogramming the transmitter. Still, it is possible for issues to continue because of signal interference or old parts in use. With experience and tools, Tri-Lakes Garage Doors can quickly identify and repair difficulties associated with transmitters. This ensures that your garage door functions correctly and without any trouble.
A garage door not on its track causes much trouble and can be dangerous. It happens often because people try DIY garage door repairs, but they need to use the correct techniques to get everything in a straight line. When the tracks are not appropriately aligned, the door stops opening and closing smoothly. This can cause more harm to the mechanisms of your garage's entrance/exit system. The door may get stuck in one place or even collapse altogether. The Tri-Lakes Garage Doors technicians are skilled at realigning and fixing tracks so that your door works correctly and doesn't pose any danger. Consider calling us instead of trying this DIY garage door repair.
When rollers become old or damaged, they can cause the door to operate noisily and with imbalance. Although changing rollers may seem simple, if you do it incorrectly, it could result in larger problems like having your door come off its tracks. Tri-Lakes Garage Doors pays attention to detail and utilizes top-quality parts, making sure the rollers are installed properly. This helps extend your door's life and improve how it works.
Changing garage door torsion springs is the most hazardous among all DIY garage door repairs. Torsion springs are under a lot of tension, and if not handled correctly, they can lead to severe injury or even death.

This way, we help avoid possible injuries while assuring your garage door works securely.

The cost you might save from not hiring an expert can be quickly surpassed by a wrong fix that results in additional damage or injury.
