Common Problems.
There are many things that can go wrong with your garage door. Here is a list and a little more information about what might be going on with your door.
*We advise not to do any self diagnosis or repairs due to the danger of garage repair. Common Problems. 1. Sticking Doors When Opened and Closed. There a few reasons why your garage door is sticking and one could be the weather. Sometimes during certain weather conditions the lubricant associated with your door can cause it to stick when opening and closing. Or it could possibly be an installation error such as the door being hung unevenly. Fill out the form on the right and we would love to fix that for you! 2. Door Won't Go Up. This is possibly the most common of the issues we see here at Spokane Garage Services. Your garage door is lifted by one or two torsion springs that carry the door on its' tracks up and down. When one or both of these are broken your garage door will have a difficult time opening or may not open at all. This can be extremely dangerous when trying to assess or fix on your own. Call 509-563-7001 for assistance. |

3. Loud Grinding or Squeaking Noise When Opening and Closing. When you hear loud grinding or squeaking coming from your garage door often times it has to do with debris and dirt build up in your tracks. It also could be an issue with the lubrication, in that case call one of our professionals to help get your garage door working smoothly again.
4. Garage Door Falls Too Quickly. When your garage door is going down too quick you are putting you and your family at a great risk. Most of the time when we see this problem it is because of a broken cable that is not holding the door up properly. We recommend calling our emergency services when you see this occur.
5. Remote Opener Failure. If you feel like you've tried everything and your garage door still won't open or close, there could be an issue with your garage door cables or possibly something to do with the motor or garage door sensors. We provide all garage accessories and products. Give us a call and we'll have someone over to assist you immediately.
6. Uneven Rise and Fall Of Door. If you see your garage door rising and falling unevenly, or in other words, it slides up or down on one side higher than the other, more than likely is due to an obstruction on the tracks of the door. If it is something small and the door is close to the ground you could most likely remove it yourself, otherwise, give us a call. We would love to assist you and ensure your safety!
7. Door Goes Down All The Way, But Won't Stay Down. When your door goes all the way down and stops for a second then goes back up again and repeatedly does this; this is a settings issue with your garage opener. We are a certified Lift Master carrier and would more than willing to come out and help you with the settings on your door.
8. Random Opening and Closing of Door. If you find your door going up and down randomly and your neighbor continuously calling you to let you know your garage door is up when you are gone, the first thing to do is check the transmitter. There could be an obstruction where it is continuously getting hit, or there could be an interference with your neighbors garage door frequency so every time they open or close their door it affects yours. This happens more often than you would think, no need to panic. Give us a call.
These are just a few of the many problems we see every day in our profession. Your safety is our #1 priority so we always advise to let our professionals do the "heavy lifting" for you.
