Simple answers to frequently asked questions about garage doors

Should I upgrade to an aluminum garage door?

The answer to this question depends on how much of a hassle you believe maintenance to be. Compared to a normal garage door, an aluminum frame grants it natural longevity – you will no longer have to provide regular maintenance. If you feel it is worth the money, then by all means.

Which garage door parts are subject to the greatest wear and tear?

All moving metal parts are subject to wear and tear according to our repair professionals in Stoughton. The list includes garage door springs, cables, and rollers. The springs are constantly under a lot of tension and this makes them even more vulnerable to natural wear and tear.

Is it easy to find a new panel?

If one of the panels of your sectional doors is damaged, you'll be lucky if your garage door isn't old. In most cases, manufacturers keep spare panels for about fifteen years. Garage Door Repair Stoughton help find effective solutions but if the door is older, you might need to make compromises in terms of repainting the panel or getting a similar but not identical design.

Why is my garage door making squeaky sounds?

This is usually the result of worn hinges. You can easily check them to confirm this problem. Watch the cylinders, in particular. They should be perfectly round. If they are oval instead, this indicates severe wearing. Get the hinges replaced without delay. Keep in mind that lubricating worn hinges is just a temporary fix and not an effective solution.
