Garage Door Maintenance

A standard garage door is subject to conditions of operation and environment. Consequent failure of the product will occur if the following conditions exist:

  1. Never close the door where an obstruction exists within the opening.
  2. Never open the door too fast making the door open past the top of the opening.
  3. Never "ride" the door while it is operating.
  4. Never force the door to operate. If it does not operate smoothly, something is wrong.
  5. Lubricate all rollers, hinges, springs, locks and bearings once every 3 months.
  6. CHECK for loose nuts and screws, and tighten accordingly.
  7. Have replaced all bent or worn tracks, brackets, hinges, rollers, or springs immediately.
  8. Have spring tension adjusted by an Authorized Garage Door dealer periodically to keep the door in balance.
  9. Maintain a good coat of paint on the wood sections.
  10. Wash your steel garage door sections with soap and water.

A garage door can be a very dangerous product. Correct operating procedures and service must be maintained. INSPECT your door and if any situation exists that you do not think is right, contact us immediately. Safety cables are available for extension springs, and are highly recommended for your safety.

It specifically RECOMMENDED that you do not make adjustments to your garage door yourself.

Only trained personnel are equipped to handle the hazards of a garage door.

Bodily harm or death can occur if not done properly and with the right tools.

D&D Doors has gone through considerable expense to provide you with the best product available to fit your style and budget. Garage door installation should always be done by trained personnel only.

Maintained, operated, and serviced correctly, your garage door will provide you with safe and dependable years of service.

 

Electric Operator Maintenance

A standards electric garage door operator is designed to replace manual operation and control of a door. If a door can not be easily operated by hand, an operator is not the solution to the problem. It is not a winch and should never be used as one.

It is recommended that you have a TRAINED PERSON adjust and service your door prior to having an opener installed.

Follow the specific operational, maintenance, and testing procedures supplied by the company installing your automatic opener, or call D&D Doors to do it for you, because we do it right the first time !

BE CERTAIN THAT ALL MEANS OF CONTROLLING THE DOOR ARE KEPT INACCESSIBLE TO CHILDREN.
