Check your garage door frequently

It’s a pain when your garage won’t open or gets stuck. Can you prevent it? There are a couple of things you can check to ensure its functioning properly.

‍

Photo-eye

This is the little device that shoots a laser from end to end of your door to prevent it from shutting all the way if blocked. Check the lens occasionally to make sure there isn’t dust or debris blocking it.

‍

Torsion springs

This is the main cause of a garage door failing and a simple check every now and then can be a good way to see when that time is near so you can take action. Listening for pops and checking for rust are two ways you can keep an eye on this finicky part.
