We know garage doors can be confusing, especially when it comes to repairs, safety features, and choosing the right parts. That’s why we’ve put together this helpful FAQ for garage door services in Chula Vista. Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions our customers ask about garage door repair, installation, and upkeep.
What does your garage door maintenance service involve?
Our garage door maintenance service includes:
- Inspection of springs, cables, rollers, and tracks.
- Testing and adjusting the balance of your garage door.
- Lubricating moving parts for smoother operation.
- Checking opener performance and safety sensors.
- Tightening loose hardware and ensuring proper alignment.
Routine maintenance helps prevent costly breakdowns and ensures your garage door lasts longer.
Does my garage door need special replacement rollers?
Yes. Each garage door model is designed to work with specific rollers. Using the wrong rollers can lead to alignment issues, loud operation, and even void your warranty. Our technicians can provide and install the correct rollers for your door, ensuring safe and smooth performance.
Can I use my old opener with a new garage door?
In many cases, yes. However, you’ll need to make sure the opener is compatible with your new garage door and that it meets the latest industry safety standards.
To avoid misalignment or potential damage, we recommend professional installation. Our technicians will handle the process to guarantee both safety and performance.
Is it possible to turn off the photo eyes on my garage door opener?
No. Since 1993, federal law requires all garage door openers to include photo-eye safety sensors. These sensors prevent the door from closing if an obstruction is detected, protecting people, pets, and property. Turning them off would make your door unsafe and non-compliant with safety regulations.
If your photo eyes are not working correctly, contact us for repair or alignment.
