Garage Door Tune-ups
Garage doors are often an overlooked aspect of home maintenance, yet they play a crucial role in our daily lives. A garage door that operates smoothly ensures safety, convenience, and security for your home. Husky Garage Door is here to help homeowners understand the importance of regular garage door tune-ups and how they can save you from costly repairs in the future. In this article, we will dive into the various aspects of garage door tune-ups, why they are essential, and what you can expect when you choose Husky Garage Door for your service.
The Importance of Regular Garage Door Tune-Ups
Garage doors undergo significant wear and tear due to frequent use. Every time the door opens and closes, it puts stress on the springs, cables, rollers, and other components. Without regular maintenance, these parts can wear out, leading to malfunctioning or even complete failure of the garage door system. This is where a garage door tune-up comes into play.
A garage door tune-up involves a thorough inspection and maintenance of all the components to ensure that the door operates efficiently and safely. Regular tune-ups can help identify potential issues before they escalate into major problems. They also extend the lifespan of your garage door, saving you money on expensive repairs or replacements.

What is Included in a Garage Door Tune-Up by Husky Garage Door?
When you schedule a tune-up with Husky Garage Door, you can expect a comprehensive service that covers all aspects of your garage door. Our expert technicians are trained to identify even the smallest issues that could turn into bigger problems down the line. Here’s what’s typically included in our tune-up service:
Inspection of Key Components
Springs:
We inspect the springs for signs of wear, rust, and proper tension. Springs are under high tension and can be dangerous if they fail.
Cables:
Cables are checked for fraying or damage. If a cable breaks, it can cause the garage door to fall, leading to potential injury or damage.
Rollers and Tracks:
We examine the rollers and tracks for any obstructions, bends, or damage. Smooth operation of these parts is essential for the door to open and close properly.
Hinges:
Hinges are inspected for wear and lubricated to ensure they move freely.
Safety Sensors:
We test the safety sensors to make sure they are aligned and functioning correctly to prevent accidents.
Lubrication and Adjustments
A critical part of the tune-up process is lubrication. We apply high-quality lubricant to all moving parts, including:
- Rollers
- Hinges
- Springs
- Bearings
- Chains (if applicable)
Lubrication reduces friction and noise while ensuring smooth operation. We also make necessary adjustments to the door’s balance, spring tension, and opener settings to optimize performance.
Testing the Garage Door Opener
The garage door opener is the heart of the system, and we ensure it is working flawlessly. We test the opener's motor, chain or belt drive, and safety features. If the opener is not functioning correctly, we’ll provide recommendations for repair or replacement.
Checking the Weather Seal
The weather seal at the bottom of the garage door plays a crucial role in keeping out dirt, water, and pests. During the tune-up, we inspect the seal for cracks or damage and replace it if necessary. A proper seal also helps in maintaining the temperature inside the garage, making it more energy-efficient.

FAQs about Garage Door Tune-ups
It is recommended to have a garage door tune-up at least once a year. However, if your garage door is used more frequently, you may need to schedule tune-ups every six months to ensure it remains in good condition.
Common signs include unusual noises during operation, slow response times, uneven movement, and visible wear on the springs or cables. If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to schedule a tune-up.
While some basic maintenance tasks, like lubricating the moving parts, can be done by homeowners, a professional tune-up is recommended. Professionals have the experience and tools to safely inspect and adjust the more dangerous components, such as the springs and cables.
A typical tune-up takes about an hour to complete. However, if any repairs or replacements are needed, the time may vary. Our technicians will give you an estimate before starting any additional work.
If during the tune-up, we discover that your garage door is beyond repair, we’ll provide you with options for replacement. Husky Garage Door offers a wide range of high-quality garage doors and can help you choose one that fits your needs and budget.
