There is much more to a garage door system than just the door itself. Springs, cables, and more all work together to open and close your garage doors properly, and when one or more of these parts are malfunctioning, issues arise.
Here are three of the top signs that one or multiple garage door parts in your system may be broken.
- Jerky door movements. Opening and closing your garage door should be smooth processes. If your door’s movements are jerky, chances are the issue lies with your garage door springs. Broken springs lead to an unbalanced door, which is the cause behind the jerky movements.
- Unusual noises. There are several strange noises that can stem from broken or damaged garage door parts. These include grinding noises from misaligned tracks and squealing noises from old rollers. Noises often indicate something going awry with any mechanical system, so you do not want to risk worsening problems by ignoring them.
- Visible damages. People rarely think twice about their garage door systems. For that reason, many people do not notice the visible damages that indicate issues with their garage door parts. Be sure to check out your systems occasionally and look for rust or other visible damages. Even if they do not seem to be causing problems now, they will in the future.
