Ten Infallible Maintenance Tips for Your Roller
Door
2

• If anything, your roller doors Camden should be
  the sturdiest door in your house. Why? Thats
  because its the one door large enough to permit
  four people at a time. If it loses its integrity,
  your entire house becomes vulnerable to external
  attacks. Least of which could be burglary. 
• Statistics records over 200,000 Australian homes
  are being robbed per year by thieves. Thats over
  548 homes burgled per day across the nation.
  Would you look at that? If youre not sure of the
  sturdiness of your roller door, how do you know
  youre not the next on the list? Harsh weather
  conditions, hurricanes, fires are other hazards
  youre leaving to chance by turning a blind eye
  to your roller doors.
• Were not trying to be harbingers of bad news,
  were simply letting you know how risky it is
  leaving your roller door uncared for. If you're
  going to leave your house everyday burglar-proof,
  then you need to maintain those roller doors
  properly. Here are ten things you ought to do to
  make them do their jobs while you're away.

Be VERY attentive

• Being very attentive when you operate your roller
  door is something that could save you a lot of
  stress. When opening, does it open weirdly or is
  it smooth as usual? Is it jerky in some places or
  is it too free? Does it open or close at all? 
• All these are what you should look out for when
  operating your roller doors. Youd fish out
  problems faster - making DIY repair a better
  option to go for.

4
Check the balance of the roller door.

• If your roller door jams up halfway through the
  opening, then there is a high chance your
  counterweight systems are imbalanced. To test
  this theory, disconnect the opener (you can do
  this by pulling the release handle or cord), move
  the door manually halfway up and check if it
  stays put. 
• If it does, then theres no problem but, if it
  doesnt, then youd want to hire professionals to
  help you with repairs. Wed advise you to forgo
  DIY repair for this one even though this sounds
  like something you can handle. If youre looking

• Do not forget the rollers.

Rollers are what make your door operable. As
such, they're built to last. A sturdy roller
shouldn't be due for replacement in like seven
years.  However, this doesnt mean you should
ignore checking out your rollers every now and
then especially if you use your garage door many
times a day. If theyre worn, chipped or cracked,
then theyre useless. Make sure you change them
before the creeps take note.
6
Lubricate all moving parts 

• Did you know greasing up your roller door takes
  10-20 minutes per year? Not only that, you get
  extra years of service if this is something you
  do once every six months.
• Yeah, you read it right, just ten minutes of
  oiling up joints, moving parts and other crucial
  areas would beef up your garage doors integrity
  by a bunch.

7
Clear the tracks

• Make sure the tracks on either side of the roller
  door are free from debris. This makes the door
  easily operable. You could also check the plumb
  using a level (if you feel like doing a little
  extra).
• Just make sure whatever you do, don't make things
  worse by taking on any major repairs. Leave
  problems to a professional instead.

8
Tighten all joints when necessary

• Seeing as youd be operating your door several
  times a year, it shouldnt hurt to inspect for
  loosened hardware every now and then. Once
  noticed, you could tighten them with a socket
  wrench. Easy peasy.
• You shouldnt fiddle around with the high-tension
  cables that lift your roller door. Since theyre
  high tension, they kill anybody who tampers with
  them. 
• Although, you could check the state to know when
  to call in professional help. We strictly advise
  you NOT to touch the wires carelessly. 

9
Clean up your garage door often.

• Dont think just because your roller door is made
  of metal, you shouldnt wash it periodically. If
  your door is made of wood, check for any form of
  damage on the surface. Warp, as well as peeling
  paint, shouldnt be excluded as well. 
• On the other hand, if you use a steel roller
  door, then you should be on the lookout for rust
  and spots that might require sanding, priming and
  painting. Dont be stingy when grooming your
  roller door. 

10
Examine the Auto-reverse safety features

• Your roller door is either one of these two
  mechanisms - mechanical or photocell. If yours
  has a mechanical-mechanism, heres what you have
  to do to test the safety feature
• Place a block of wood or brick on the ground in
  the path of the roller door.
• Close the door.
• Upon touching the block of wood, the door should
  reverse back up.
• If your roller door does just that, then all is
  good. If it doesnt, repair or replace it.
• If your roller doors come with a photocell
  mechanism, here are the steps for you
• Place an object in the path of the door.

11
Replace when your door gets too old

• If your roller door is reaching the ripe old age
  of about 20 years, then its high time you laid
  it to rest. Getting a new one shouldnt be a
  hassle if you know what to get.
• Follow these tips and have your garage door live
  up to its reputation as a protector of your home.
