How Regular Maintenance Can Increase the Lifespan
of a Garage Door

• Garage doors are often used on a regular basis,
  yet only when they go wrong or begin not to
  perform as well as they should, do we tend to
  take any notice of them. However, with regular
  maintenance (some of which you can do yourself,
  some of which will require help from a garage
  door technician), you could help your garage door
  live far longer and perform far better. In fact,
  with regular, professional maintenance, a garage
  door can last for as long as 20 years, if not
  longer depending on the frequency of use.

• Just as with other pieces of machinery, garage
  doors should be checked at least on an annual
  basis, and repaired if necessary, not just to
  keep them looking good and performing well, but
  to make sure that theyre safe, too. Heavy and
  capable of causing significant injury should they
  malfunction garage doors are best maintained to
  prevent them from harming anyone or anything.
• Below are a few more reasons to convince you to
  have your garage door serviced, and then
  maintained with at least an annual professional
  inspection

• Improved security
• With home burglarys occurring around every 13
  seconds, this frightening statistic alone should
  be enough to convince you to ensure that your
  garage door is well maintained at all times.
• If the locks on your garage door are faulty, or
  it doesnt open and close properly, your garage
  and your home (if your garage is attached to your
  home, as many are) could be left vulnerable to an
  attack from intruders.

• Decreased risk of injury
• As mentioned briefly in the introduction, damaged
  or faulty garage doors are capable of causing
  significant harm, and every year, hundreds of
  injuries caused by garage doors are reported,
  with some even causing life changing injuries.
  Some of those injuries are also reported by
  individuals who have tried to repair the damage
  themselves, all of which could have been avoided
  by seeking professional help to fix the problem.

• Not only can a broken garage door cause you or
  someone else harm though, but they can lead to
  further damage within the doors components,
  leading to an even more expensive repair job or
  full door replacement.
• Costing you less
• While no garage door service comes for free, the
  money that you invest in an annual inspection
  could end up saving you hundreds of dollars in
  repairs had a problem not been detected early on,
  and you may even be able to prevent the need for
  a door replacement.

  course, but they also make up a significant
  portion of the exterior of a home, and as such,

  door looking smart and attractive for longer, and
  if youre selling your home or plan to in the
  near future it can boost the curb appeal of
