Garage Door Maintenance — Metro Vancouver
A garage door has more moving parts than most people realize — springs, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, tracks, brackets, seals, and an opener with its own drive mechanism and safety systems. Most of those parts wear out quietly until something fails.
What a Maintenance Visit Covers
Spring inspection
measure wire diameter and turns, check for wear or corrosion, assess remaining cycle life
Cable inspection
check for fraying, kinking, or uneven tension between sides
Roller inspection
check for cracking (nylon) or wear (steel), replace if needed
Track alignment
check gaps between rollers and track, look for bends or loose mounting hardware
Hinge and bracket check
tighten any loose fasteners before they cause a panel crack
Lubrication
springs, rollers, hinges, and track with the right lubricant (not WD-40)
Bottom seal
check condition, replace if cracked or pulling away from the door
Opener test
check force settings, reverse sensitivity, safety sensor alignment, battery backup (if equipped)
Balance test
disconnect opener and manually lift the door halfway; it should hold position within a few inches
How Often
Once a year for most homes. If the garage is heavily used (4+ cycles daily), twice a year. The maintenance visit costs a fraction of an emergency call, and it catches the things that become emergencies.
