The Best Maintenance Schedule for Your Garage Door

Your garage door is one of the most used—and least maintained—parts of your home or business. It opens and closes thousands of times a year, and yet most people don’t think about it… until something breaks.

The good news? Most issues are preventable with a simple garage door maintenance schedule. At A&N Garage Door Services, we help Indiana property owners stay ahead of breakdowns and extend the life of their doors with just a few regular check-ins per year.

🗓️ The Ideal Garage Door Maintenance Schedule

Here’s how often we recommend you perform (or schedule) key services:

✅ Monthly Quick Check (DIY)

• Test door balance: Disconnect opener, manually lift halfway—does it stay in place?

• Listen for noise: Grinding or squeaking? Might need lubrication.

• Visual inspection: Look for frayed cables, rusty springs, or loose hardware

• Clean photo-eye sensors

📍 If you notice any issues, don’t wait. Catching it early can save you from major repairs.

🔧 Every 6 Months: Lube & Tune-Up (Professional Service)

Have our techs:

• Lubricate springs, hinges, rollers

• Tighten all hardware

• Test opener motor & sensors

• Adjust door travel limits

• Check for rust, wear, or misalignment

📍 We recommend this service every 6 months for Indiana’s seasonal weather shifts.

🧰 Every 12 Months: Full Maintenance & Inspection

This is the time for a deep diagnostic of your entire system. We check:

• Spring tension

• Cable condition

• Roller wear

• Door panel integrity

• Backup battery status (for openers)

• Safety reverse system

• Weather seals and insulation

📍 Ideal to schedule before winter or right after—when your door is working overtime.
