When Should You Replace Your Garage Door?

Garage doors are made of sturdy materials that can last for decades, but they’re not invincible. Over time, they’ll suffer from wear and tear, and become ineffective.  

Here are some signs it’s time to install a new garage door soon.

Slow Opening

Garage doors have a steady opening speed that is neither too fast nor slow. Your door should have an immediate response indicating it’s about to open as you have your car enter the property. If you’ve pushed the remote once and the mechanism is not responding quickly, it might be time to replace your garage door.

Noisy Operation

Garage doors have a low noise level that isn’t disruptive. If you notice your garage door is making strange sounds, it’s likely time to have it replaced. Any grinding, grating or banging noises indicate something’s wrong with the door that requires troubleshooting or immediate repairs from a professional.

Sudden Malfunction

Garage doors smoothly operate when they’re in good condition. They should quickly respond to the remote’s commands when you intend to open or close it. Your garage door must have safety fasteners to ensure it won’t shut unexpectedly and damage your car or cause injury. A repair team can solve these issues, but they might also find some components beyond repair, which means you need to prepare for a full garage door replacement.

Functionality

One of the most significant signs that it’s time to replace your garage door is when it keeps breaking down. The sturdiest garage doors can last for decades. Unfortunately, they will suffer from dents and external damage due to nearby activities or weather conditions. Garage door springs can only last for several cycles until they wear out and cause slow operation or frequent breakdowns.
