3 Things to Review Before a Garage Door Repair in Roseville


It's frustrating when your garage door in Roseville isn't working and you don't know why. Before you call your local Roseville garage door repair company, review the following items. This will help you to isolate the issues you're experiencing and give the repair person the most accurate information. It may also help expedite your garage door repair.

Check the Batteries
Check the batteries in whatever item is causing you difficulties. If your garage door is not responding to the garage door opener, check the batteries in the opener. You may not have noticed they died, as many of them do not have indicators. If you are still experiencing problems after that, try to open the garage door with your keypad or from inside the garage. This will help you to try and figure out the problem. If you still can't open the door, then it's time to call a garage door repair expert.

Clear the Door Track
Check to see if there is a blockage of some sort. If there is anything lodged in the track, remove it and try the door again. You can experience issues when the track is dirty or poorly lubricated. It is impossible for the door to run on the track if it is dirty, so you should try cleaning the track. You should also regularly lubricate your door track and hinges for optimal performance. If none of those options work, call Premium Garage Door Service at 651-344-0489.

Spring Repair and Replacement
The most common garage door repair is replacing the spring. Most garage door springs are designed to last around 10,000 cycles. So, depending on how often you use your garage door, the spring may be near the end of its life. Keep a watchful eye on your garage door springs and call a garage door repair expert when you notice any changes.

Once you have checked the three things above in Roseville, contact us by calling 651-344-0489 or by filling out the Request Service form. Let us know what you find out when you complete the inspection above.

Avoiding Garage Door Accidents


Garage doors are a lovely luxury to have, but like any other appliance or piece of machinery, they have to be treated and use in a correct manner. Garage door accidents injure 20,0000 people on an annual basis. Many of these accidents can be prevented by taking simple precautions, as we noted a while in an article back. Before you need a St Paul garage door repair company to fix your door because of an accident, use caution and take simple measures to ensure your safety.

We noted:
When going over your system, look at the springs, hardware and fittings to ensure the door is on track all the time. If you have something unsuitable with even one of these components, then your door is in danger of sliding off and maybe wounding a person. You should not make an effort to change out these objects by yourself, as they are under extremely high tension. If something is wrongly performed, you could be seriously injured. Only an experienced professional experienced with the manufacturer's instructions should modify or substitute these parts.

Every piece matters and works in unison when it comes to garage doors and garage door openers. If one part breaks, the entire system can break down and stop working. It’s important to have the door looked at every so often to ensure that everything is in working order and that your door won’t fail you when you need it most. While you might think, “I can do this myself,” garage doors can weigh quite a bit and if you try to go ahead by yourself and repair the door, you can find yourself struggling with getting everything back in order.
