Common Garage Door Mistakes

Whether you install your garage door yourself or hire a professional company, this task must be done correctly. Failure to take the proper precautions or perform this job correctly may result in damaged property or even worse, a damaged person. There are a few garage door mistakes that are quite common and should be addressed, thus the purpose of this blog.

Loose Panels

Loose panels are a common safety problem that occurs when a technician fails to tighten a door’s rails and hangers. Panels can become loose over time making it important to thoroughly inspect them annually. This is one of the many reasons we encourage our clients to invest in regular maintenance checks, at least once a year.

Incorrect Tools

One of the many benefits of working with a professional garage door repair and replacement company is that you can be sure they have the correct tools for the job, and know how to use them properly. For example, our technicians know to use lag screws rather than nails to secure your system’s door pieces. Hire a company that has the tools and skills needed to repair your garage door, hire ATR Garage Door Repair.
