What can go wrong with my garage door?
Plenty, it seems. Garage door mechanisms and electronics do break down. The workings of a garage door are never really thought about when we use them. We expect the garage door to open when we push the button. But what happens (or doesn’t happen) when we push the button only to find out a once-reliable garage door system is now a barrier between you and the inside of your home or business? On Track Garage Door is the garage door service partner home and business owners in Westchester County rely on for garage door service and repair.
Seven garage door parts that break
· Cables—garage door cables connect the door to springs that hold tension so that the door operates smoothly.
· Rollers—these look like little wheels on axles. They roll within the tracks to guide the separate door panels evenly as the garage door opens.
· Hinges—the hinges connect the door panels together and they operate as the door rolls open.
· Pulleys—the cables that open the door work through pulleys for smooth operation.
· Struts—these reinforce the door sections and prevents them from bending or breaking.
· End bearings—just like wheel bearings, they help the door panels move smoothly.
· Gears and sprockets—turn the action of the motor into a force to pull the door open.
These mechanical components of your garage door take a lot of punishment because they are moving parts that are susceptible to wear and tear.
If you have an electronic door opener mechanism that you depend on to open and close your garage door in Westchester County, there are electronic components that need to be considered beyond the mechanical when something goes wrong.
Remote garage door openers are electronic devices. They receive and act upon signals from a switch to activate the motor and open the door. As they are electronic, they operate through an electronic circuit board. The circuit board may need to be tested or replaced.
