It can be quite dangerous and can cause some injury if you do not know what you are doing. There are some common issues that you may have when you are trying to repair your own garage door. AAA Action Garage Doors outlines the most common problems when trying to repair your own garage door.
Injuries from Falling Garage Doors
One of the most common problems that occur and end up causing an injury is from a fall. The garage door is a large item that is oversized as well as heavy. It also does not have all the components that are accessible from the ground level. That means if you want to look at the garage door motor or the panels while they are in the open position you have to get on a ladder. You also will need to be on a ladder to get access to the channels that the door moves through and the springs that create the tension that is needed. You want to make sure that you do not put yourself at risk when you are trying to have your garage door repaired. The best way to avoid falling off a ladder or even a step stool is to not do it at all. This is why it is best to call out a professional to make the repairs for you.
Buckled Garage Door
One of the problems that you might see when you have a door that has not been maintained is the hinges can start to give out. This means that the panels are not being held together properly and securely. You also will see wear in the channels that are sending the door up and down. Both of these issues can cause the door to potentially collapse when you start to work on it. If you are not prepared for this to happen you can be injured when the door comes down on you or someone that might be helping you. It is best to let a professional to do the work to avoid the door collapsing in you.
Garage Door with a Broken Spring
One of the most common repairs that are needed is to replace the springs on the garage door. The springs create the tension that is needed to get the door to open and close. They can become damaged, rusted or stretched out. This means they need to be taken out and replaced. This is a process that if it is not done right can be very dangerous. They contain a lot of pressure and can shoot out if you are not careful causing damage to the house or you.
