Metro Denver Garage Door has been dedicated to garage door excellence since 1984 as your trusted service provider in the Denver metro area. Our team possesses over four decades of experience delivering complete garage door maintenance services by combining technical proficiency with superior customer care. Regular maintenance is not just about preventing problems—it's about optimizing performance, enhancing safety, and protecting your investment.
Our certified professionals provide reliable and high-quality maintenance services at competitive prices, helping you avoid emergency repairs through preventative care. Your garage door serves as an essential element for your home's security system and enhances both its operational capability and exterior attractiveness. Proper maintenance ensures it continues to function flawlessly year after year.
Many homeowners don't realize that garage door maintenance services are just as important as maintaining other major home systems. Regular professional maintenance provides numerous benefits that extend far beyond simple operation.
Preventative maintenance significantly reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and costly emergency repairs. By identifying and addressing minor issues before they escalate, our technicians help you avoid the inconvenience and expense of major repairs. Components like springs, cables, and rollers experience natural wear over time, and regular maintenance extends their lifespan considerably.
A well-maintained garage door operates smoothly and quietly. Our maintenance services eliminate those annoying squeaks, grinding noises, and jerky movements that can disrupt your home's peace and indicate developing problems. The difference between a maintained door and a neglected one is immediately noticeable in its operation.
Safety is perhaps the most critical reason to invest in regular maintenance. Garage doors are heavy, moving objects with high-tension components. Our technicians thoroughly test all safety features, including auto-reverse mechanisms and photo-eye sensors, ensuring your family's protection. We also check the balance of your door, which prevents dangerous situations where doors might fall unexpectedly.
For insulated garage doors, maintenance helps preserve energy efficiency by ensuring proper sealing against the elements. This keeps your garage at a more consistent temperature and can contribute to lower energy bills, especially if your garage is attached to your home.
Many garage door warranties require proof of regular professional maintenance. Our detailed service records help you mainta
in warranty coverage, potentially saving thousands if a major component fails while under warranty. Additionally, our comprehensive inspections identify potential issues before they become serious problems, allowing for minor adjustments rather than major repairs.
At Metro Denver Garage Door, we take a thorough approach to maintenance that addresses every component of your garage door system. Our comprehensive garage door maintenance services include:
Our certified technicians begin with a detailed inspection of all garage door components, including springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, and the opener system. This thorough assessment identifies any signs of wear, damage, or misalignment that could lead to future problems.
Proper lubrication is essential for smooth operation and component longevity. We apply professional-grade lubricants to all moving parts, including rollers, hinges, springs, and bearings. This reduces friction, eliminates noise, and prevents premature wear of these critical components.
Over time, the hardware that holds your garage door together can loosen due to regular use and vibration. Our technicians meticulously check and tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws throughout the system. We also make necessary adjustments to hinges, brackets, and other hardware to ensure optimal alignment and operation.
A properly balanced garage door is crucial for smooth operation and reduced strain on the opener. We test and adjust the door's balance, ensuring it requires minimal force to operate and remains in place when stopped at any position. This balance check is vital for preventing opener motor burnout and extending the life of your springs.
Safety features are only effective when they're working correctly. We thoroughly test auto-reverse mechanisms, photo-eye sensors, and manual release functions to ensure they operate as designed in emergency situations. Your family's safety is our top priority.
Debris in tracks and on rollers can impede smooth operation and cause premature wear. Our garage door maintenance services include cleaning of these components to remove dirt, dust, and debris that accumulate over time. Clean tracks and rollers mean smoother operation and less strain on your entire system.
Garage door springs are under tremendous tension and are critical to your door's operation. We carefully inspect spring tension and make necessary adjustments to ensure proper door balance and operation. This inspection is crucial for preventing one of the most common and dangerous garage door failures.
Weather seals protect your garage from the elements and contribute to energy efficiency. We inspect the bottom seal, perimeter weatherstripping, and section seals for damage or wear, replacing them when necessary to maintain a proper barrier against weather, pests, and debris.
The opener is central to your automatic garage door system. Our technicians inspect and test all opener functions, including the motor, chain or belt drive, safety features, and remote control operation. We make adjustments as needed to ensure reliable, quiet performance.
Being attentive to your garage door's performance can help you identify when garage door maintenance services are needed before major problems develop. Here are key indicators that it's time to schedule a professional maintenance service:
If your garage door has started making unusual noises during operation—such as grinding, scraping, popping, or squealing—it's typically a sign that components need lubrication or adjustment. These sounds indicate friction between parts that can lead to accelerated wear if not addressed promptly.
A garage door that moves more slowly than usual or rises and falls unevenly suggests problems with springs, tracks, or the opener system. This uneven movement puts additional strain on all components and can lead to premature failure if not corrected through proper maintenance.
Excessive vibration during operation often indicates misaligned tracks, worn rollers, or loose hardware. This vibration can progressively worsen and cause additional components to loosen or become damaged over time.
If sections of your garage door appear to sag or hang unevenly when closed, it may indicate problems with the track alignment, hinges, or support structures. This condition can worsen quickly and potentially lead to a door becoming stuck or falling.
When your garage door becomes difficult to open or close, requiring extra force or multiple attempts, it's a clear sign that maintenance is needed. This difficulty could stem from several issues, including spring tension problems, track obstructions, or opener malfunctions.
For homes with insulated garage doors, an unexpected increase in energy bills might indicate failing seals or insulation issues that a maintenance service can address. Proper sealing is essential for maintaining the energy efficiency benefits of an insulated door.
Visible signs of wear and tear—such as chipped paint, rust spots, dented panels, or frayed cables—indicate that a thorough inspection and maintenance service is overdue. These visual cues often accompany mechanical issues that may not be immediately apparent.
At Metro Denver Garage Door, we understand that every home and garage door has unique needs. That's why we offer flexible maintenance services plans designed to provide the right level of care for your specific situation.
For most residential garage doors in the Denver area, we recommend professional maintenance at least once per year. However, doors that see heavy use or are exposed to extreme weather conditions may benefit from semi-annual service. Our seasonal maintenance recommendations take into account Colorado's unique climate challenges, from summer heat to winter snow and ice.
We offer special maintenance service packages that provide excellent value while ensuring your door receives comprehensive care. New customers can take advantage of our first-time maintenance discount, making it even more affordable to start a regular maintenance routine. Our technicians will help you determine the ideal maintenance schedule based on your door's age, usage patterns, and environmental factors.
We recommend conducting a monthly visual inspection of your garage door system. Look for obvious signs of wear or damage, including frayed cables, loose hardware, dented tracks, or damaged weatherstripping. Listen for unusual noises during operation and watch for changes in how the door moves.

Applying a silicone-based lubricant to hinges, rollers, and springs every three to six months can help maintain smooth operation. Be sure to wipe away excess lubricant to prevent dirt accumulation. However, avoid using WD-40 on garage door components, as it's not a true lubricant and can actually attract dirt.
While some maintenance tasks are suitable for homeowners, others should always be left to professionals. Never attempt to adjust or repair springs, cables, or opener mechanisms, as these components can cause serious injury when improperly handled. If you notice issues with these elements, contact our team immediately.
Always prioritize safety when performing any DIY maintenance. Disconnect the opener when working on your door, keep fingers away from sections where they could be pinched, and never place yourself under a partially open door that isn't properly secured.
The constant tension on garage door springs leads to gradual wear and tear as time progresses. The following list details the most common spring-related issues we repair.
