SUMMER IS COMING! Is your garage door summer ready?
With summer quickly approaching and along with it the Australian bushfire and storm season, ensuring that your garage door is ready and in safe working norder should be at the top of your list.
Our recommendations suit all home users and provide handy hints such as lowering your electricity bill, being able to get your car in and out when you live in an area that is prone to black-outs and how to minimise the temperature in your garage.
Peace of mind is being able to trust your garage door in the event of an emergency and in everyday use around your family, children and belongings.
Should I have my Garage Door safety checked and what does it involve?
At Affordable Openings we always promote that everyone should have their garage door serviced and safety checked regularly; it is after all the largest moving object in a home. We want
to ensure everyone’s families and their belongings are safe from the chance of a failing
garage door or getting stuck in an emergency.
If your door hasn’t been looked at, serviced or repaired by a professional in an extended
amount of time, we recommend getting a safety check service completed. Affordable Openings
will run a safety check by inspecting the individual aspects of your garage door to
ensure all the parts are safe; this includes:
- Checking the emergency manual release system, cables and tension
- Lubricating and checking the moving parts
- Checking the motor and the settings to ensure correct operation
- Checking the locking system if the door is manual
- Checking that the garage door seal is in good shape
Replacing your garage door or automatic opener
As with all mechanical and moving parts your garage door or automatic opener
may have reached an age or has wear and tear that makes a repair no longer
feasible. Usually at this point the garage door also is no longer considered safe.
Affordable Openings has a range of garage door options to suit every budget
and need, whether you choose to replace with a basic roller door to get the job
done cost effectively or if you choose a style for looks as well as practicality.
