Why Garage Door Tune-Ups Are Essential (and Often Overlooked)

April 14, 20252 min read

You change the oil in your car. You service your HVAC.

But when’s the last time you gave your garage door a tune-up?

At A&N Garage Door Services, we see it all the time: doors that could have lasted 10+ years end up needing full replacements because basic maintenance was skipped.

Here’s why regular tune-ups are essential—and how they save Indiana homeowners and business owners time, money, and stress.

🧰 What Is a Garage Door Tune-Up?

A garage door tune-up is a full system check that includes:

• ✅ Lubricating rollers, hinges, springs, and tracks

• ✅ Tightening bolts, brackets, and mounting hardware

• ✅ Inspecting springs and cables for wear

• ✅ Testing opener function and safety features

• ✅ Adjusting door balance and travel limits

• ✅ Cleaning and aligning safety sensors

📍 It’s like a “wellness check” for your entire garage door system.

🚨 What Can Happen Without a Tune-Up?

Neglecting garage door maintenance can lead to:

• Snapped springs or frayed cables

• Overstressed openers

• Misaligned tracks and worn rollers

• Squeaking, grinding, or shaking

• Costly emergency repairs

📍 Regular tune-ups prevent these problems before they start—and keep your garage door running like new.

🧊 Indiana Weather Wears Doors Down

Here in Indiana, extreme temperatures, humidity, and rain can cause:

• Rust

• Swelling of wood doors

• Frozen or dry tracks in winter

• Sensor malfunctions due to dust and moisture

📍 A seasonal tune-up prepares your door to perform year-round, no matter the conditions.

🏢 Commercial Tune-Ups Save Even More

If your business depends on overhead, roll-up, or bay doors, routine tune-ups help:

• Prevent downtime

• Extend door life

• Maintain safety standards for staff and customers

📍 We offer scheduled commercial maintenance plans across Indiana.

🕒 How Often Should You Get a Tune-Up?

We recommend:

• 🏠 Once per year for residential garage doors

• 🏢 Every 3–6 months for high-traffic commercial doors

📍 Ask about our annual service packages for peace of mind and priority support.
