How often should a garage door be tuned up?

• <div><p>You should tune up your garage door at least once per year to keep it running smoothly. However, if you notice signs of wear and tear, it’s wise to get a tune-up every six months. Performing regular tune-ups can help you catch small issues before they turn into serious problems. </p></div>

Q: Can I use WD-40 on a garage door?

• <div><p>While you can technically use WD-40 to lube a garage door, it is not the best option since the oil it leaves behind can attract dirt. Instead, go to the hardware store and locate a lithium- or silicone- based garage grease. You can also search for garage door lubricant online; just make sure you get one that is made with lithium or silicone. </p></div>

Q: Can garage doors work with one spring?

• <div><p>With the exception of small, lightweight torsion-spring garage doors, which can operate with one spring, most garage doors require two springs to work properly. Garage doors with extension springs always require two springs&mdash;if one extension spring is broken or otherwise failing, the garage door may open unevenly and could pose a hazard if the remaining spring fails.</p></div>

Q: How long do garage door seals last?

• <div><p>You can expect your seal to last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Several factors affect this&mdash;material, frequency of use, and the weather. For example, seals made from high-quality rubber are built to withstand the elements and can go the distance with a little TLC. If your door sees a lot of action or faces extreme heat or cold, the seal could wear out more quickly. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-garage-door-maintenance.htm">Regular maintenance</a>&mdash;like cleaning and lubrication&mdash;can make your seal last longer. And while it&rsquo;s rare, a professionally installed seal on a smooth floor can potentially last up to 10 years.</p></div>

Q: Can a car interfere with a garage door opener?

• <div><p>It is possible for a car to interfere with a garage door opener, but the interference will most likely be caused by any onboard electronics in this scenario. If you encounter this problem, try parking a safe distance away from the garage door and turn off the car&rsquo;s electronic equipment. </p></div>

Excellent craftsman. Very hard working. Worked from dawn to dusk. Mark custom made thresholds, baseboards and molding to match the design of existing finishes. The door opening was much shorter than most, so he cut the door to fit.

"They were excellent to work with. They listened to my needs and wants and delivered. They also kept me in the loop of the progress being made. When there was a backorder, they gave me another option that was equally as good as the first. I did have to call about a week later because the opener was being temperamental. No issues, they came right out and resolved the issue immediately."
