Westco Services has been maintaining overhead garage doors and openers in Winnipeg for over 20 years and is committed to spotting concerns and addressing items before they become costly breakdowns.
A standard maintenance inspection includes lubricating all moving parts. A garage door is the biggest moving piece of a home. It is subject to all weather conditions and the odd driving “oops.” Many items move and require lubrication. Rollers, hinges, bearings, springs, cables, weatherstrip should be checked regularly for wear and replaced if possible to keep a door working well.
Does an electric opener require service also?
Garage door openers should also receive routine maintenance. The garage door opener also provides a safety element to your home. It keeps the door closed and unwanted intruders out. It also provides safety to the members of your home. A properly operating system should reverse when a person or pet walks underneath a closing door. This is a very important element of a maintenance service.
