What are common signs that my garage door needs repair?
If the door is noisy, opens unevenly, doesn’t respond to controls, or appears misaligned, these could indicate issues with the mechanism, panels, or supporting components.

Can a damaged panel be replaced without replacing the entire door?
Yes, if the rest of the door is in good condition, individual panel replacement is often possible and more cost-effective than full replacement.

Why is lubrication important in garage door maintenance?
Lubrication reduces friction between moving parts, prevents wear, and helps the mechanism operate smoothly and quietly.

How does improper installation affect garage door function?
Incorrect installation can lead to alignment problems, uneven door movement, strain on the mechanism, and faster wear of parts like rollers and cables.

Why is the door making grinding or squeaking noises during operation?
These noises are typically caused by lack of lubrication, worn rollers, or misaligned components in the lifting mechanism.
