Question 1

How do I determine if I should repair or replace my garage door?

Accepted Answer

To determine if you should repair or replace your garage door, you should consider the following:

The age of your garage door
How well your garage door operates
How weathered or damaged your garage door is

If your garage door is fairly new, you may want to repair it rather than replace it. However, if your garage door is more than 15 years old and requires repair, it may be better to have it replaced.

Question 2

Why does my garage door stop and go back up?

Accepted Answer

Your garage door may stop and go back up because the safety sensor is either dirty or blocked by an object. One of the first things you should do to fix the issue is to check for anything that may be blocking your garage door’s sensor. If you do not find anything that could be setting off the sensor, you should get a damp cloth and wipe the lens of your garage door’s sensor to clean any dirt that may be interfering with your sensor’s ability to detect objects properly. If neither of these solutions work, contact us and we can help you get your garage door repaired.

Question 3

Can you install a new garage door on old tracks?

Accepted Answer

No, you cannot install a new garage door on old tracks. Garage door tracks are designed for specific doors, making it a risky decision to install a new garage door on old tracks. If the tracks are older and meant for a different door, you could run into operational and safety issues.
