Types Of Garage Doors

There are a few different types of garage doors that you might encounter. Which type you need depends on the size of your garage, your door's features, and the door's weight.


The three most common types of garage doors are manual, electric, and automatic. Manual doors open and close with a human operator. Electric doors open and close with power from a battery or an electric outlet. Automatic doors open and close with a sensor that detects when you approach or leave the garage.

Preventing common garage door problems

The most common garage door problems are caused by improper maintenance. Here are some tips to help keep your garage door in good condition:

1. Regularly check the weather seals on your door and adjust them as needed.

2. Clean the rollers and tracks regularly with a degreaser and a brush.

3. Keep the door open while servicing to avoid heat buildup inside the garage.

4. Close the door slowly after servicing to avoid slamming it shut or damaging the hinges or springs.

Maintenance Tips For Garage Doors

1. Regularly lubricate your garage door's moving parts with a quality garage door lubricant. This will help keep the door running smoothly and prevent damage.


2. Clean your garage door's sensors regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. This will help keep the sensors working correctly and avoid false alarms.


3. Check your garage door's tightness regularly by jiggling it up and down and side to side. If it feels too loose, tighten the screws that hold it together. If it still feels too loose, you may need to replace the springs or cables.


4. Keep your garage door closed when not in use to conserve energy. Open and close only when you need to enter or leave your garage.
