Have questions?
Here are the most common things Dover homeowners ask before booking with us.
Ask us anythingHow often should I have my garage door serviced?
Annual maintenance is ideal. A yearly tune-up catches worn cables, weak springs, and loose hardware before they fail. Jim Garage Door Repair offers an annual service in Dover that covers lubrication, balance testing, hardware tightening, and a safety inspection.
What maintenance can I do myself?
Three things: 1) Lubricate rollers, hinges, and springs every 3 months with garage-door silicone spray (not WD-40). 2) Test the safety reverse monthly by placing a 2x4 flat on the floor under the door. 3) Wipe down weather seals with soapy water twice a year. Leave springs and cables to us.
How do I know when my springs are about to fail?
Warning signs include: loud bangs coming from the garage when the door operates, the door feeling heavier to lift manually, jerky or uneven movement, gaps or visible separation in the spring coils, or the door suddenly slamming shut. If you see any of these, call Jim Garage Door Repair before they fail completely.
Why does my garage door make grinding noises?
Most grinding comes from dry or worn rollers, loose chain/belt in the opener, or misaligned tracks. Jim Garage Door Repair diagnoses and corrects all of these during a maintenance visit. Addressing noise early prevents much more expensive damage later.
How long do garage door springs last?
Standard springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles - roughly 7-12 years of normal residential use. High-cycle springs (available from Jim Garage Door Repair) are rated 20,000-25,000 cycles. If you use your garage door as your primary entrance, the higher-cycle upgrade pays for itself.
Does cold weather affect my garage door?
Yes - cold thickens lubricants, contracts metal parts, and makes weatherstripping brittle. Dover winters often cause doors that were marginal in summer to fail outright. Pre-winter maintenance with cold-weather lubricant prevents most cold-related breakdowns.
