Garage Door Maintenance Schedule

Searching for dependable garage door maintenance? GDI Garage Doors offers same-day service, upfront pricing, free estimates, and veteran discounts. Our skilled technicians deliver detailed inspections and precision tune-ups to keep your garage door running safely and smoothly.

At GDI Garage Doors, we believe a consistent garage door maintenance schedule is the best way to keep your system reliable, quiet, and safe. Your garage door is one of the most frequently used mechanical systems in your home, often cycling open and closed multiple times each day. Over time, this wear adds up. Without proper care, springs lose tension, cables fray, bearings dry out, and the opener strains under the load. With routine garage door preventative maintenance, you can avoid expensive repairs and extend the lifespan of your entire system.

How Often Should You Schedule Garage Door Maintenance?

Maintenance needs vary depending on how often you use your garage door. Each full open-and-close action counts as one cycle, and most doors are rated for about 10,000 cycles. A household that opens the garage two or three times daily may only need annual service, while families who use the garage as their main entry point should schedule regular maintenance checks for your garage door every six months. The more you use it, the more attention it needs.

Regular service prevents costly breakdowns, ensures safe operation, and keeps your warranty valid.
