The Most Common Reasons for Garage Door Damage

If you have noticed a problem with your garage door, it is important to get it repaired as soon as possible as it could be dangerous to continue using it. It can be beneficial to know what the most common causes of garage door damage are so that you can be aware of them and try to prevent them.

 

Here are the most common causes of garage door damage:

 

Weather

Extreme weather conditions are one of the biggest causes of damage to garage doors.

 

This is how extreme weather can impact your garage door:

 

●     Snow - Snow can cause your garage door to freeze shut and may also thicken your door jamb’s lubricants, making it difficult to open and close

●     Rain - Prolonged wet and cold weather can cause swelling in your garage door’s openers and door frames, leading to hindered functionality and damage over time

●     Heat - The warmer temperature and humidity can cause your electric controllers to work abnormally or perhaps stop working at all. The moisture and humidity can also cause warping and deterioration of wooden garage doors

 

 

While extreme weather conditions are unavoidable, investing in a high-quality garage door can mean that it can withstand any weather conditions it faces. At Thoroughbred Industrial Doors, we offer a range of garage doors designed to withstand harsh conditions which are custom-made to the exact specifications measured by our experienced UK-trained professionals.


Broken Springs

After many years of daily use, springs can become worn down and eventually break. Garage door springs are what allow the door to be light enough to move up and down, therefore they maintain a great amount of pressure. 


Electric Issues

For electric garage doors, it is common to see electrical issues. This could include a fuse blowing, damaged or frayed wires or water damage resulting in your electric door opener failing to work.

 

If you have noticed any issues with your garage door, Thoroughbred Industrial Doors offers a comprehensive garage door repair and maintenance service to ensure that our garage door is working correctly.
