With the amount of times in a day you press the button of your garage door to open and close, there is actually a slight chance that the opener can malfunction. Imagine if this happened during a terrible storm leaving you to be stuck outside for hours. Fear not, because most of the time, the only issue here is a loose wire to cut off from electricity, or loss of electricity. Patience is key.

Having a noisy garage door is a pain when trying to sleep at night. Thankfully it is a very simple problem and fixing it won’t lose you a large amount of time. In most cases, the cause of noisy garage doors are the worn-out or faulty hinges. All you have to do is apply lubricants to eliminate the creaks every time the door opens and closes. If they are too worn out, after many years of usage, it should be about time to replace those noisy hinges.

During the winter, you would want your garage door to open as fast as possible, but unfortunately it chooses to sit still due to the cold and moisture it has accumulated throughout the day. Garage doors normally freeze to the floor, so instead of punching into the button to open numerous times, all you have to do is clear the ice under the door constantly to prevent this from happening again.
