A typical garage door weighs well over a hundred pounds and is held up by tightly wound springs. When everything works, you hardly think about it. When something wears out, the door can fall, close on a person or pet, or stop working at the worst time. A professional safety inspection from GDS-RepairParkRidgeIL helps prevent that.
What the GDS-RepairParkRidgeIL Safety Inspection Covers
- Springs – checked for gaps, rust and signs of fatigue.
- Cables and drums – inspected for fraying, slack and correct winding.
- Balance – the door should stay in place when lifted halfway by hand.
- Auto-reverse – the door must reverse when it meets an obstruction.
- Photo-eye sensors – tested for alignment and response.
- Hardware – hinges, brackets and bolts checked and tightened.
- Rollers and tracks – inspected for wear, bends and alignment.
After the inspection
You get a clear summary of what is in good shape and what needs attention soon. Many small adjustments are made on the spot. Anything larger is explained with a price before any work is done.
Good times to schedule
Book an inspection once a year, after buying a home, after the door has been hit, or any time the door starts acting differently. Call GDS-RepairParkRidgeIL at 773-828-4747.
