Farmington, UT – Garage Door Repair

A routine garage door tune-up from Century Garage Door covers several specific checks that keep your door running reliably year after year. Our technicians start with a balance test, disconnecting the opener and lifting the door by hand to see if it holds steady at mid-height or drifts down, which points to spring tension that needs adjustment. We then lubricate the rollers, hinges, and bearing plates with a lithium-based grease rather than WD-40, which actually strips lubrication over time and leaves parts squeaking within weeks. Cable inspection is next, and we look closely for fraying, kinking, or uneven winding on the drum, since a worn cable can snap without warning and drop the door fast. We also check that the safety sensors at the bottom of the track are aligned and reading a clean signal, and we go through every bolt and lag screw on the track brackets and header plate to tighten anything that has worked loose from daily vibration. Homeowners in Farmington should plan on scheduling a tune-up once a year, and catching problems at this stage means we are fixing a $15 roller or a frayed cable rather than a broken spring or a bent track that costs several times more to repair.
