As one of the main, automated entrances into your home, your garage door is one of the most important aspects of your house. Not only does your garage door provide security to your property, but it’s also durable and adds to your homes street appeal. If your garage door is starting to show its age or has issues functioning, it’s important to consider either replacing or repairing your garage door.
If your garage door suddenly stops working, immediate action should be taken, however, it can get confusing if you’re not sure whether to repair or replace. We can help you identify when it’s time for a new garage door and when a repair or service will suffice.
When to Repair your Garage Door
● The door breaks down
It always seems to be the case with something important like a garage door! One day, you go to click the button to open it and bam – it freezes mid-flight. At JA Doors we have a team of expert technicians who are incredibly insightful into the inner workings of a garage door. Give us a ring and we can send out a team to inspect your door, and hopefully provide a solution
● Damage to one section of the door
If one isolated panel or part of the door has been damaged, whether by a stray football or from a storm, it’s important to get the door repaired as soon as possible. JA Doors can provide a repair that will not impact the integrity of the door and ensure the door remains running smoothly.
● The door has begun to sag
The easiest way to check if your door has sagged at all is to check if the door is closing evenly. Is one side touching the ground fully, but the other you can see a gap? This is often related to the springs in the opening mechanism needing a replacement.
When to Replace Your Garage Door
● Issues keep arising
If you’ve recently had your door serviced and it’s still not working correctly, you might need to consider whether a replacement is the best option for your home. It’s important that you don’t allow the garage door to become a safety hazard!
● Severe Damage
If your garage door has been at the receiving end of serious damage, you must replace the garage door. Car accidents, fallen trees or even high-intensity wind can all be reasons that a door needs replacing. Oftentimes it may be cheaper to replace the door than repair it.
● It needs safety features
If the current door on your garage is old and worn out, it may be missing important safety features that can protect your home, belongings and your family. Most new garage doors are fitted with sensors and security measures that protect the garage. Automatic reverse and strong mechanisms to ensure the garage doesn’t open or close when it isn’t meant to are crucial to a safe garage door.
