CANTON MI GARAGE DOOR REPAIR - GARAGE DOOR REPAIR FAQ
Top 10 Most Asked Garage Door Questions (With My Answers)
1. Why won’t my garage door open all the way?
Nine times out of ten, this is either worn-out rollers, a failing spring, or the opener’s travel limit being out of adjustment.
2. Why is my garage door making loud grinding or squeaking noises?
Usually the rollers are worn, the hinges need lubrication, or the door is out of balance.
3. Why does my garage door reverse when I try to close it?
Your safety sensors are probably misaligned or dirty — one of the easiest fixes for homeowners.
4. How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
If your door suddenly feels heavy or won’t lift at all, the spring likely snapped. Never try to lift it manually.
5. Why does my opener click but the door won’t move?
This often means the motor is fine, but the gear system or logic board has failed.
6. Do I really need to replace both springs?
Yes. Springs work as a pair, and replacing just one causes uneven tension and early failure.
7. Why does my garage door shake when opening?
Worn rollers or track alignment issues make the door wobble during operation.
8. How often should I schedule garage door maintenance?
At least once a year. Michigan weather is rough on garage door systems.
9. Why won’t my remote or keypad work?
Dead batteries, reprogramming issues, or a weak opener antenna are common causes.
10. Is it safe to repair my garage door myself?
Minor things like sensors are fine, but anything involving springs, cables, or tracks should always be handled by a pro.
