When it comes to your garage door, care and routine maintenance is the best way to avoid most damage. However, there are a few exceptions that can contribute to a garage door not operating well. To help you stay more vigilant with your garage door and monitor issues that can be fixed sooner and cheaper rather than letting the problem worsen and become more expensive to repair, we at AAA Action Doors would like to share the common causes of garage door damage today.

What Causes a Garage Door to Crack, Have Dents or Suffer Other Damage?

Worn Out Hardware. Generally, a catch-all categorization of mechanical issues that can keep your door from working properly is worn-out hardware. There is no shortage of problems that can arise and cause your door to function improperly in order for your door to open and close properly, no matter if it is a broken tension spring, misaligned rollers, frayed lifting cable, or an issue with any of the other numerous components that need to work together.
Weather Conditions. The weather stripping that lines the bottom of your door is likely to wear out over time due weather conditions that severely damage garage doors in the Las Vegas Desert. Depending on the material from which it is made, this can allow both water to seep inside of your garage and potentially damage the door. It is one of the most common ways that pests are able to take up residence in a garage and make their way inside your home.
Blown Fuse. A blown fuse could account for a door that is suddenly stopped working if your garage door operates electrically. Be certain that you hire a professional to take care of it instead of attempting to fix the problem yourself if you suspect that a blown fuse is the cause of the breakdown. You could also suffer serious injury if you do not know what you are doing in addition to causing more damage and paying more in the long run.
Dead Batteries. Do not neglect to check to make sure they are fully charged if your garage door operates via batteries. You would be surprised how many homeowners are shocked to learn that they need a battery change instead of garage door repairs, though it sounds simple.
Neglecting Garage Door Maintenance. Most do not ignore their vehicle’s engine not performing adequately. You can’t ignore them and hope that they all go away when it comes to mechanical problems. The worse they are likely to get, the longer you ignore them, in fact. You are likely to experience a full-blown breakdown down the road if the door is making a strange sound or isn’t functioning 100% properly. When the problem is minor than to call for emergency repairs when it’s major it is much easier to invest in garage door repairs.
