Q: Do I need a garage door opener?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need a garage door opener unless you need or desire the convenience they offer. While you may be able to open some garage doors manually, having a garage door opener makes life a lot easier. There is an exception, though&mdash;a motorized opener is an absolute must if you have a two-car garage (or larger), as the door will be too heavy for the average person to lift on their own.</p></div>

Q: Is a garage door tune-up worth it?

• <div><p>Getting a garage door tune-up is worth it. Tune-ups are a form of preventative maintenance that help extend a garage door's lifespan and prevent dangerous issues, like worn springs or misaligned sensors. The cost to get a garage tune-up is far less than letting problems get out of hand and causing costly repairs&mdash;or worse&mdash;injuries.</p></div>

Q: Why do my garage door cables keep coming off?

• <div><p>There are several reasons garage door cables can come off multiple times. The most common reason is that the springs have too much or too little tension and require adjusting. Other causes include track alignment issues that keep the door from operating correctly or smoothly. A damaged winding drum or obstructions in the cable's way can also cause it to come loose. </p></div>
