As a company, we offer a service for both brand new garage door replacements as well as garage door repairs on existing doors. It can however, sometimes be a difficult decision to know which avenue you may need to go down. So, to try and help you out, we wanted to write a little piece on certain scenarios or signs for when either choice may be necessary.
It is also worth mentioning that even if after reading this, you’re still not 100% sure, then please feel free to get in touch with us here at Garage Door Secure, because we will be happy to point you in the right direction. After all, we are the garage door experts and will give you a fair and honest assessment of your situation.
You could feasibly be in this situation for a number of reasons, some way more obvious than others, so let’s get into it. One of the more straightforward reasons where you might think “something isn’t quite right here” would be when a door doesn’t open properly. This may be an automatic fault or broken mechanical element. What isn’t so obvious is how broken a part may be or how integral it is to the overall function of the garage door. In this instance, we would advise you to speak to a member of our team who can come out and see what is best.
In a similar vein, there may be other tell-tale signs that something is off with your garage door from a functioning perspective. The door may start to sag when open, become sticky, or feel heavier when opening. A lot of the time, these symptoms are due to your springs being worn down. Thankfully, this is a fairly quick fix and one of our team can come to replace them. Due to how garage doors are made, lots of little components can easily be replaced which is good to know from the customer’s perspective.
On the other hand, in some cases your door will absolutely need replacing. If there is excessive cosmetic damage on your garage door, you will need to look into getting a new one. For example, if you’ve been burgled or accidentally broken the door, it can be more difficult to re-shape it, or re-panel it – though it is possible in some instances.
Your door may just be quite old and not been changed in a number of years. Technology moves on and so do the parts used to make the doors. So, if your garage door becomes faulty and hasn’t been changed for a long, long time, then it is perhaps time to replace it altogether to a much more modern one. In addition to this point, the safety sophistications of a garage door have advanced hugely over the years, so for this reason alone, in order to protect the contents of your garage, a more modern door would be preferable.
