Garages are a wonderful addition to the architecture of a home. They do not just offer space to store things or park a vehicle, though there is that feature, and they are not just something to fill in space in the blueprints, but they have a structural and practical purpose. And, if you live in a city where cold winter weather is common, like Minneapolis, a garage offers a great way to move to and from your vehicle without braving the elements. However, the garage door can, on occasion, cause problems when it fails to work incorrectly. Garage door repair is not something that the average homeowner should undertake. There are many parts and pieces that must be handled properly or you could have a bigger, and sometimes more costly, problem than anticipated. But if you feel that a garage door repair may be necessary, there are a few things you may want to look at. Here are some common garage door repair related scenarios: - Regardless of whether it is turned on with the wall switch or the remote, the garage door opener is not working. Check to see if the garage door motor is connected with the power source. You may also need to check the circuit breaker, fuse or GFCI. After all, this one garage door repair that anyone can handle.
- The garage door will open, but the motor doesn’t quit running. This is often caused when the limit switch is too close to the motor unit, you should be able to move this on your own, but if not call a garage door repair provider and ask them for help.
- The garage door will not close completely. This is a simple garage door repair; just adjust the close limit switch. You can test the adjustment by seeing if the door is binding when raised and lowered manually.
- The garage door will not open completely. This, too, is related to the limit switch. Typically, it just needs to be moved toward the motor unit.
- The garage door goes up, before actually touching down. Try adjusting the close force. Check your owner’s manual to find where this is located. Sometimes the problem is that the garage door will reverse immediately on touching ground. This can be corrected by adjusting the limit switch. Having a garage is one of the best features a home can have- but only if it is in working order. If you are unable to correct the problem using the tips above, then be sure to contact your garage door repair company, so you can safely and easily use your garage.
