Schererville Garage Repairs

Garage doors are not perfect. They act up from time to time. If you do experience issues with your garage door, it’s imperative that you seek help from a professional. Don’t attempt to fix the problem on your own.

Consider a Schererville garage door professional for your door’s maintenance, repair and replacement needs. They’ll make sure the job is done right at an affordable price.

Garage Door Issues to Look For

One of the most common issues that garage doors experience is broken springs. A spring may not seem like an essential part, but when it gets broken, it can affect the performance of the entire garage door.  

You may notice that your garage door starts to go down, but then comes back up. A garage door is designed to reverse itself when there is an object in the way. This prevents damage to both the garage door and the object. If you don’t see anything apparent that is causing the garage door to go back up, clean up the track and get rid of rocks, dirt and other debris.

If your garage door’s motor appears to be shut off, check to see if it has been accidentally disconnected. Every garage door has a disconnect mode that allows you to operate the door manually in the event of a power outage. Look to see if this mode has been activated.

If your garage door is brand new, you may also need to check the sensitivity. If it is set too low or too high, it won’t go up or down. Use the directions from the manufacturer to adjust the settings to the right levels and your door should work.

If the motor is running, but the garage door is not moving, it may be because it is locked. This is an incident that is purely user error. You may want to see if a bar accidentally slid down to prevent access. If it is locked, use the handle or knob to disengage it.
