Simple Maintenance That Extends Spring Life
Lubricating the rollers, hinges, and spring coil twice a year with a silicone based spray reduces friction and slows corrosion in Florida's humid air. Keeping the garage vented, even with a simple vent kit, lowers the heat and moisture that speed up wear. Checking the door's balance by disconnecting the opener and lifting by hand once a year can catch a weakening spring before it fails completely. Our maintenance visit does all of this for you, with the right products and a trained eye.
The Hurricane Season Check
Broward County sits inside Florida's High Velocity Hurricane Zone, and a garage door is one of the largest openings in a home's exterior wall. Before hurricane season each year, have the spring and cable system checked along with the door panels and track. A door that struggles to open on a calm day is far more likely to fail under wind pressure, and a pre-season inspection is a small cost compared to storm damage.
How Often Should You Schedule It?
Once a year suits most Coral Springs homes. Doors that cycle many times a day, or older doors on original springs, benefit from a visit every six months, especially in garages with limited airflow, where springs show wear earliest.
