Is Your Old Garage Door a Hazard?

From boosting your home's curb appeal to providing safety and security for your family, an upgrade to your garage door is an investment worth making. Your garage door and opener are serious pieces of equipment and can undergo wear and tear with age that can compromise their safe operation.

Worn Down Springs

Did you know that your garage door springs only remain in optimal shape for a limited number of cycles before they're at risk of malfunctioning? The average spring will last 10,000 cycles, or between six to 10 years. Worn down or frayed springs pose a risk to your family and property as they can cause your garage door to slam shut unexpectedly. Attempting to repair or replace old springs is extremely dangerous and should only be performed by a trained professional.

Outdated Technology

As technology continues to provide more safe and convenient solutions for everyday life, there are many new options for upgrading your garage door opener. New openers are fitted with a variety of safety features to minimize danger and offer efficient and reliable operation. At Creative Door, we offer top brands of garage door openers including Liftmaster and Genie. Contact us today for more information or a recommendation from our masterfully trained technicians.

Unbalanced Door

If your garage door appears loose and lopsided or sounds like it's working hard to open and close, it may be unbalanced. An unbalanced garage door puts strain on the door's springs and cables, causing them to snap, leading to injury or property damage. If your garage door is malfunctioning, contact the experts at Creative Door as soon as possible to schedule a service call.

If you suspect that it's time to replace your old garage door, Creative Door can help you choose the right one. Contact us or visit our showroom to get started.
