Essential Garage Door Tune-Ups in [CURRENT_YEAR]

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.
