Garage doors should be professionally serviced at least once every 12 months. Regular servicing ensures safe operation, extends lifespan, and prevents sudden breakdowns. In Melbourne’s climate, temperature fluctuations can affect metal components and tension systems.
During a service appointment, technicians inspect springs, cables, rollers, tracks, and motor performance. Lubrication reduces friction and wear, while balance testing ensures the door operates smoothly without overloading the motor.
Homes in coastal Melbourne suburbs may require more frequent inspections due to salt exposure, which accelerates corrosion. Preventative maintenance is far more cost-effective than emergency repairs.
Ignoring servicing can lead to noisy operation, motor strain, and eventual system failure. A simple annual inspection keeps the system safe, reliable, and compliant.
