While they are louder than belt-driven openers, they are ideal for detached garages or areas where noise is less of a concern. For those exploring garage door opener installation or searching for a dependable, budget-friendly solution, chain-driven openers remain a practical and trusted choice. ###Jackshaft/Wall Mount Openers Jackshaft or wall mount openers are a great solution for homeowners looking to save space and enhance functionality. Installed on the side of the garage door, these openers free up overhead space, making them ideal for garages with low ceilings or those with storage needs. They operate quietly and efficiently, using a direct drive system to lift the door, ensuring smooth operation. ##Variety of Openers Available Precision Garage Door Service offers a variety of name-brand openers like [LiftMaster®](https://www.liftmaster.com/for-homes/garage-door-openers) and [Linear](https://linear-solutions.com/garage-door-openers/), plus our own PDS branded openers. We stock over 10 varieties of garage door openers in chain-driven and belt-driven options. ###Smart Opener Features Smart garage door openers offer a range of advanced features that enhance convenience, security, and control. Here are some key features to look for: - **Smartphone Control**: Manage your garage door from anywhere using a smartphone app. This allows for remote access and control, giving you peace of mind when you’re away from home. - **Real-Time Notifications**: Receive alerts on your phone when your garage door opens or closes, or if there are any unauthorized access attempts. This keeps you informed about your home's security. - **Voice Control Compatibility**: Many smart openers integrate with virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, allowing you to open or close your garage door with simple voice commands. - **Built-in Cameras**: Some models feature integrated cameras for real-time video monitoring. This lets you see who is at your garage door and provides an added layer of security. - **Battery Backup**: Ensure reliable operation even during power outages. Battery backup systems keep your garage door functioning when you need it most. - **Scheduling and Automation**: Set schedules for your garage door to open or close at specific times, making it easy to manage daily routines without manual intervention. - **Lighting Integration**: Smart openers can be paired with lighting systems, allowing your garage to light up automatically when the door opens or at scheduled times for added convenience and safety.[View All Door Opener Options](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/shop/door-openers) ##Garage Door Opener Installation Properly installing new garage door openers is essential for long-term reliability and safety.

Professional installation ensures that all parts, from the motor to the safety sensors, are correctly aligned and calibrated, preventing issues like uneven door movement, noisy operation, or potential safety hazards. With the right installation, your garage door opener will function optimally for years, giving you consistent, hassle-free performance.

The most recent [Cost vs. Value Report from Remodeling Magazine](https://www.jlconline.com/cost-vs-value/2024/) highlights garage door replacement as more than just a visual improvement—it's a top-tier investment. In 2024, homeowners recovered close to twice their initial investment in resale value, positioning this upgrade as the highest-ranking project in the country for return on investment. With an average cost slightly above $4,500, it delivers both substantial financial return and enhanced curb appeal. Over time, garage doors have consistently ranked among the most economical exterior upgrades. Back in 2010, the average installation cost was $3,545 with a 70% return. By 2024, while the cost rose modestly by 27%, the ROI jumped to 194%—a 177% increase in return. Compared to other upgrades such as manufactured stone veneer, which experienced a 58% rise in cost without the same payoff, garage doors clearly outperform in value. Aside from steel entry doors, no other exterior remodeling project matches this level of cost efficiency and return, reinforcing garage door replacement as a practical and profitable home improvement. ([A New Garage Door Pays for Itself...Twice](https://www.plylerentry.com/about/news/a-new-garage-door-pays-for-itself-twice)). ##Choosing the Right Garage Door Style Garage doors commonly come in steel, wood, wood composite, and glass / full-view. The style and location of your door will determine the type of door you need. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/garagedoorstyle.png?Revision=ZSy&Timestamp=rkQbC8) ###Steel Garage Doors Steel is the most common material used in garage doors. Steel garage doors require very little maintenance which makes them a popular choice. They are available in many styles, colors, and window options. Steel doors, when insulated, can be very energy efficient and are typically your lowest-priced option. Doors come ready for installation but can be painted with the right surface preparation. Homes with a detached garage commonly choose steel garage doors. ###Carriage House Garage Doors Carriage House garage doors come in wood or steel. The style of these doors is reminiscent of vintage garage doors that were pulled open instead of lifted overhead. If you are looking to increase your curb appeal, this type of door is the best choice. ###Glass / Full-View Garage Doors Glass and full-view garage doors are typically built with durable aluminum or steel frames and incorporate expansive glass panels, creating a modern, streamlined look. These doors are ideal for brightening spaces with natural light and are popular in both residential and commercial settings, such as homes, restaurants, and showrooms, where an open, airy feel is desired. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledobefore-after-01.png?Revision=c1y&Timestamp=Q0Rmc8) ##Additional Options Aside from the material of your garage door, other factors play a role in the style/design of your door. ###Windows Adding windows to your garage door can instantly improve the appearance of your home while allowing natural light to brighten your garage even when the door is closed. On average, incorporating windows can increase the cost of a garage door by 15-20%, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. ###Color Color is a fun way to make your garage door pop! Fortunately, most color options are included in the price of the door. However, some steel doors have an available wood grain texture that has a slight premium charge. Adding wood grain texture is an excellent alternative when you want to capture the look of wood with the "no-maintenance" durability of steel. ###Decorative Hardware If you are looking for a low-cost option to enhance your garage door, choose from a variety of hinges, handles, and knobs. These decorative options help to add authenticity to carriage house doors. ##What Types of Garage Door Insulation Are Offered? We offer garage doors with either polystyrene or polyurethane insulation, available in single-, double-, or triple-layer construction.

In a lot of cases, many garage door openers can be repaired without requiring a replacement. Our technicians arrive with a wide variety of parts in their trucks so they can service your opener on the first visit. There are still some cases however where a replacement might be necessary: - If the brand or manufacturer no longer exists, it may be hard to find replacement parts for your opener. - If a manufacturer has encountered many lawsuits due to safety, we don't feel comfortable repairing these openers for the safety of your family. - Federal regulations surrounding garage door openers were enacted in 1993. If your opener was installed prior to 1993, it may be time for a replacement. This is especially true if your opener does not have safety eyes, which is crucial for a safe operating garage door. ##Common Garage Door Opener Issues - **Noisy or Slow Operation**: This issue may stem from worn components, insufficient lubrication, or misaligned tracks. Performing regular maintenance can help address and often resolve these concerns. - **Safety Eye Issues**: Misaligned or obstructed safety sensors can stop the door from closing. Cleaning the sensors or adjusting their alignment can often rectify the problem. - **Door Won't Open or Close**: This can occur due to power supply issues, a broken spring, or a misaligned safety sensor. Troubleshooting these factors or seeking professional repair is necessary to resolve the issue. - **Motor Humming But Not Moving**: A humming sound from the motor without movement usually indicates a malfunction with the motor or gears, which could be worn out or jammed, hindering the door's operation. - **Remote Issues**: Problems with the remote can arise from dead batteries, signal interference, or issues with the receiver. Simply replacing the batteries or reprogramming the remote may restore functionality. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/openerrepairpage.jpg?Revision=MSy&Timestamp=gxxbC8) ###Imbalanced Garage Doors Cause Stress on Openers An imbalanced garage door can significantly strain your garage door opener, leading to premature wear or failure. During our 25-point inspection, we thoroughly check the balance of your garage door to ensure smooth operation and prevent unnecessary stress on the opener. When a door is improperly balanced, the opener must work harder to lift and lower it, which can result in frequent repairs or the need for a replacement. Regular maintenance and balance checks are essential for extending the life of both your garage door and its opener. ###What Kinds of Openers Does Precision Repair?

The [National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS)](https://www.cpsc.gov/Research--Statistics/NEISS-Injury-Data) reports more than 7,500 people each year are pinched by their garage doors, often due to spring replacement. It's best to leave this job to Precision! ##Garage Door Spring Services Maintaining your garage door’s performance starts with selecting high-quality springs suited to your door’s weight and size. Using the right springs reduces wear on the opener, extends its lifespan, and improves the door's overall operation. We service both torsion and extension springs, though torsion springs are typically preferred for their durability and smooth functionality. Torsion springs are installed above the door and use a controlled twisting motion to lift the door evenly, making them an ideal choice for both residential and commercial applications. Extension springs, which stretch along the sides of the door, are less commonly used in this area but can be converted to the more dependable torsion system. Upgrading to torsion springs can provide improved safety and longer-lasting performance for your door. To ensure balanced performance, we recommend replacing both springs at the same time, even if only one has broken, as springs generally wear out together. Replacing both simultaneously can save you from the cost and hassle of a second service call down the line. ###25-Point Safety Inspection In addition to spring replacement, each visit includes a 25-point safety inspection. This inspection checks for any other potential issues, allowing you to address them proactively. With fully stocked trucks, our technicians are prepared to handle any additional repairs on-site, ensuring your garage door is safe and dependable after each visit. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/25point.png?Revision=qSy&Timestamp=wQQbC8) "They called back soon after I contacted them on Saturday morning, and were able to efficiently complete the broken spring repair in a short amount of time.

Before making a decision, consider these key factors, including style, material, security, and more, to ensure you choose the best garage door for your home. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner08-2024.jpg?Revision=D0y&Timestamp=cYTbC8) ##1. Not a Weekend Project First things first. Don’t assume you’ll save money by installing your new garage door yourself. [Garage door installation](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/new-garage-doors-toledo) is complex, with many moving parts that require precise alignment. Incorrect installation can lead to significant issues, including damage to your new door or potential injury. It’s wise to hire professional garage door installation experts, like Precision, to ensure a safe and efficient installation. There are plenty of other [DIY projects](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/safe-diy-projects) that are safe and easy to tackle on your own. ##2. Choose a Style That Matches Your Home Garage doors come in [various styles](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/how-to-choose-the-right-garage-door-style) to suit different architectural designs. Here are three popular styles: - **Traditional****:** Featuring raised rectangular panels, these doors offer decent insulation and a classic look. - **Carriage****:** Inspired by early garage doors, these are often used on farmhouse-style homes. - **Contemporary****:** Known for their sleek, clean lines, these doors complement modern homes. Select a style that boosts your home’s curb appeal and aligns with its exterior design. ##3. Not All Materials Are Created Equal Once you’ve chosen a style, it’s time to select the material for your garage door. Options include: - **Wood:** An attractive choice that requires regular maintenance to prevent wear and tear. - **Aluminum****:** Lightweight and cost-effective, but less durable than steel. - **Steel****: **A popular option for its strength, durability, and low maintenance requirements. Consider factors such as insulation, security, and maintenance when choosing your material. ##4. Insulation Saves Money For better energy efficiency and cost savings, opt for an insulated garage door. The effectiveness of insulation is measured by the R-value—the higher the R-value, the better the insulation. Proper insulation helps maintain your garage temperature and reduces energy costs. ##5. Electric or Manual Most homes today feature electric [garage door openers](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/door-openers), offering convenience, enhanced security, and smooth, effortless operation. These openers are equipped with advanced features like remote access, sensors, and smartphone compatibility, making them a popular choice for modern homeowners. However, manual openers remain a reliable and simpler alternative for those who prefer a more basic approach, providing straightforward functionality with minimal maintenance. Manual systems also tend to be more durable and less prone to electrical failures, making them a practical option for homeowners looking for a low-tech, cost-effective solution. ##6. Garage Doors Have Great ROI Upgrading your garage door offers a significant return on investment. According to the [Remodeling Impact Report by the National Association of Realtors](https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/research-reports/remodeling-impact), homeowners typically see almost a 100% return on their investment. A new garage door not only enhances your home’s appearance but also boosts its functionality and security. ##7. Windows Can Be a Natural Addition Many modern garage doors come with windows, allowing natural light into your garage and adding style. Windows can be positioned horizontally at the top or vertically along the sides. However, keep in mind that windows might impact energy efficiency unless you choose insulated glass. ##8. Don’t Skip Security If you have an attached garage, it’s crucial to prioritize security. Your garage door is a major entry point to your home, so ensure its integrity by selecting a high-quality door and installing a robust locking system and security cameras. Better security measures will keep your home and family safe. ##Ready for Your Next Garage Door?

Whatever your reasons, one of the **biggest considerations** when choosing a new garage door is to decide whether or not you want it to be automatic. For some, the choice is obvious. However, more fiscally conscious consumers may want to weigh their options. This guide will help you decide what suits your needs best. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner09-2024.jpg?Revision=T0y&Timestamp=tGTbC8) ##Price Price is usually at the top of everyone’s mind. So, let’s go over the main figures. Usually, a **standard manual door costs up to $2,200**, while adding on an **automatic opener can cost as much as $1,500**. However, these prices can vary depending on the material, form factor, and the weight of your garage door. If the cost to add on an automatic opener is too high at the moment, it can always be retrofitted onto a manual garage door at a later date. #####Note: This way may cost you more in the long run. ##Time & Convenience The **main benefit** of an automatic garage door is its **convenience and saving time**. If this is a door you will be repeatedly entering and leaving, such as parking your daily driver, then the few minutes it takes to manually lift the door can certainly add up. Throw into the unpredictability and chaotic nature of the weather, you could end up opening that door during a blizzard or derecho. On the flip side, if this garage door will only be used to store lawn equipment, assorted boxes, or other outdoor gear you only touch once a month, then an automatic garage door may be an unnecessary expense. As a general rule of thumb, if you are not opening the door every day, then a manual door will be more than enough for your needs. Beyond this, automatic doors tend to need more clearance to operate than manual doors, so if you are in a pinch for space, a manual door may be more beneficial. ##Maintenance Needs Exploring the maintenance needs between automatic and manual garage doors is more complicated than it may appear. While manual garage doors do have less technology and fewer cogs in the machine that can break, they do **require more regular maintenance ****cycles** than automatic garage doors. With dirt and grease build-up, you will quickly feel your manual door jam and require more and more effort to open it. Further, when opening your garage door manual, the weight, pressure, and movements placed upon its components are irregular. This can cause stress on different components over time, making the door wear and tear. Automatic garage doors benefit from consistent lifting motions, which causes less wear and tear. Plus, recent technology has made these doors more reliable. While your door may screech and squeak, it can open and close despite the trouble usually. Surprisingly, automatic garage doors are a lot less fickle than manual garage doors, but with that said, once they break, automatic doors can cost much more to repair. ##Safety & Security In terms of safety and security options, **automatic doors are the clear winners**. The only thing a manual door has going for it in terms of security is that the material is usually heavy. Otherwise, it lacks in every other department. Instead, automatic doors: - Have sensors to prevent dropping when objects are underneath the door - Feature built-in security features to prevent thieves from forcing the door open - Can be remotely controlled and monitored ##Toledo's Garage Door Company Automatic garage doors became popular for a good reason. Their technology is convenient, saves time, offers better longevity, and creates a safer garage. However, for doors that are more infrequently used, manual garage doors serve their purpose well and can help cut down on costs. If you are in need of a garage door replacement, we are your trusted Toledo garage door service company, ready to assist with any questions you may have.

Some of the options you can choose from are: - **Style: **What type of garage door fits your home best and how do you want the door to open? There are several options to choose from, such as sectional, rolling, swing-out, slide-to-side, folding, and more. - **Color:** While white is the most common garage door color, you can really shake things up by choosing from thousands of colors. - **Windows:** To add windows, or not. That is the question. Adding a window or two will allow for natural light to pour into your garage. - **Material:** Garage doors can be made of several different materials, like steel, aluminum, wood, and more! Adding a custom garage door boosts the overall look of your home’s exterior and adds curb appeal, making all your neighbors envious. ##Upgraded Security When you choose to customize your door, this is your chance to upgrade to the latest technology designed to keep you and your family safe. Some security options are reinforcing your door with stronger panels made of steel or aluminum, adding automatic locking mechanisms, and installing motion sensors. Each of these security features can easily be added to a custom garage door and prevent potential break-ins. ##Improved Energy Efficiency Adding insulation to your custom garage door helps reduce your carbon footprint and keeps money in your wallet. Insulation helps maintain the temperature of your garage door, making it energy efficient. On cold days, your insulated garage will keep warm air in. On hot days, the insulation will keep your garage cool. An insulated garage allows you to have better control over the temperature of your garage. ##Noise Reduction There is no need to wake up the neighbors. Most custom doors are made with thicker materials and offer a natural defense against noise. But, if you want to make it quieter, you can add more sound-absorbing bells and whistles to a custom garage door. There are options to add dense insulation or acoustic foam to your garage door to help soundproof. This is a great option for those that live in a busy area with tons of traffic or if you have turned your garage into an area for a workshop or entertainment. ##More Durable If you are installing a custom garage door, it is more than likely you didn’t cheap out on materials. Using higher quality materials results in a more durable and long-lasting garage door that can withstand the elements. Upgrading your garage door from traditional materials and reinforcing it with steel or aluminum helps save you money in the long run from reduced maintenance costs and less need for repairs. ##Great ROI By adding the word “custom”, you may already hear the cash register ringing up a high price tag. Yet, if you take the plunge, you will see almost 100% of your investment if you ever go to sell your home. Most buyers want a great exterior when they are purchasing a home, and garage doors have become a centerpiece of everyone’s home. By investing in a custom garage door, you not only boost your curb appeal but also bring together a seamless, cohesive look. ##Customize Your Garage Door Today Committing to a custom garage door will prove to be a great investment in the long run and provide an opportunity to make your garage more energy efficient, secure, and less noisy.

The material affects your door’s durability, maintenance needs, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. For Toledo homeowners, local weather and seasonal changes can also influence which material will perform best over time. In this guide, we’ll explore the most common garage door materials, their benefits, potential drawbacks, and how to decide which option fits your home. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0110-2025.jpg?Revision=GRy&Timestamp=gfWbC8) ##Steel Garage Doors Steel garage doors are one of the most popular options for Toledo homes, and it’s easy to see why. They are incredibly strong, provide excellent security, and require very little upkeep compared to wood. Steel doors are also cost-effective and complement a wide range of architectural styles. The main downside is that steel can dent if struck and may rust over time if not properly coated. For homeowners, choosing a steel door with a weather-resistant finish is key to protecting it from winter moisture and humidity while keeping it looking and functioning like new. ##Wood Garage Doors Wood doors offer a classic, timeless appearance that can dramatically improve a home’s curb appeal. They are highly customizable, allowing homeowners to select finishes, panel styles, and textures that fit their home’s architecture perfectly. While the natural look of wood is unmatched, it does require regular maintenance. Sealing and staining are necessary to prevent warping, cracking, or moisture damage, especially given seasonal climate. Homeowners who prioritize aesthetics and are willing to invest in upkeep often find wood doors to be a worthwhile choice. ##Aluminum Garage Doors Aluminum doors have grown in popularity due to their lightweight construction and modern appeal. They are naturally resistant to corrosion, which makes them a low-maintenance option for humid weather or variable climate. Aluminum doors also allow for larger windows or contemporary panel designs. The main tradeoff is that aluminum is easier to dent than steel and generally offers less insulation. These doors are ideal for homeowners who want a sleek, modern look combined with ease of operation. ##Composite and Fiberglass Garage Doors Composite and fiberglass doors provide the look of natural wood without the high maintenance requirements. They are durable, weather-resistant, and customizable, making them a practical choice for homeowners seeking elegance with convenience. While they can crack under extreme impact, they resist warping and require far less upkeep than wood. For homeowners who want the aesthetic of wood without the maintenance burden, composite or fiberglass doors are an excellent solution. ##Energy Efficiency Considerations Energy efficiency is increasingly important for homeowners. Insulated garage doors help regulate temperature in your garage, keeping it warmer in winter and cooler in summer, while reducing energy costs for adjoining rooms. Many steel and composite doors come in insulated versions that combine strength and durability with improved energy performance. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0210-2025.jpg?Revision=fRy&Timestamp=wfWbC8) ##Choosing the Right Garage Door Material Deciding on the best garage door material involves evaluating budget, maintenance, style, and energy efficiency. Steel doors offer durability and low upkeep at an affordable price. Wood doors provide timeless elegance but require regular care. Aluminum doors give a modern, lightweight option, and composite or fiberglass doors deliver the look of wood without the extensive maintenance. By considering your home’s architecture, your lifestyle, and the local climate, you can select a garage door that balances aesthetics and functionality. ##Why Work with Us? We help homeowners choose the garage door material that fits their needs, style, and budget. Our team guides you through options, explains the benefits of each material, and provides professional installation to ensure long-term performance.

Steel doors are the most durable option, offering strength, security, and low maintenance. Treated steel can withstand seasonal weather while maintaining its appearance for years. ###Are wood garage doors worth it? Wood doors provide unmatched curb appeal and customization, but they require regular maintenance such as sealing and staining to prevent warping or moisture damage. They’re best for homeowners willing to invest time in upkeep. ###Can aluminum garage doors handle winters? Yes. Aluminum doors resist corrosion and are lightweight, but they are more prone to dents. They work well for contemporary homes and can be paired with insulated panels for added energy efficiency. ###Do composite or fiberglass garage doors look like real wood? Absolutely. Composite and fiberglass doors mimic the appearance of wood while being more weather-resistant and lower maintenance. They are a practical alternative for homeowners who want the beauty of wood without the extensive care. ###Which garage doors are energy-efficient for Toledo homes? Insulated steel and composite doors are the most energy-efficient choices. They help maintain temperature, reduce utility costs, and protect against the seasonal temperature swings. ###How do I choose the right garage door material for my home? Consider your budget, maintenance preference, desired style, and energy efficiency needs. Steel is durable and affordable, wood is classic and high-maintenance, aluminum is modern and lightweight, and composite/fiberglass provides the look of wood with less upkeep. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0310-2025.jpg?Revision=3Ry&Timestamp=ytWbC8) ##Ready to Upgrade Your Garage Door?

A little seasonal upkeep can go a long way in preventing future issues and maintaining curb appeal. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner05-2025.jpg?Revision=XRy&Timestamp=XHWbC8) ##Cleaning Your Garage Door After a rainy spring, you may be tempted to pressure wash your garage door alongside your home's siding. However, this could cause damage to the stripping paint, denting metal panels, or removing the protective stain from wooden doors. Handwashing is a safer and more effective method. Use a large sponge with a mild, non-abrasive soap and water to gently clean the surface. For metal or wooden doors, applying a layer of wax afterward can help protect against UV rays, road salt, and other environmental elements. And while you're refreshing the exterior, don’t neglect the interior; dust, cobwebs, and dirt can accumulate there, too. ##Routine Maintenance Avoid garage door failures during hot summer months by scheduling preventative maintenance. Regular inspection of crucial parts such as garage door springs and hinges helps ensure smooth operation and reduces the risk of sudden breakdowns. Keeping these components in good condition extends the lifespan of your garage door and minimizes costly repair expenses. ##Springs [Garage door springs](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/spring-repair-toledo) bear the weight of the door and handle the bulk of its movement. Over time, they wear out. Common signs of spring failure include delayed opening, difficulty lifting (especially with manual doors), or unusual noises from your garage door opener. ####Signs of Deteriorating Springs: - Visible stretching or gaps - Rust or discoloration - Slow or uneven door movement **Safety First:** Garage doors are under significant tension, especially the springs. Never attempt to adjust or replace these components on your own. Always consult a trained technician for any repairs involving mechanical parts or the door’s counterbalance system. ##Hinges Garage door hinges play a vital role in the door’s movement and structural integrity. Depending on the size and style of your door, there may be a dozen or more hinges that require routine maintenance. Start by inspecting each hinge for loose bolts and tighten them as needed. Hinges that include rollers should be lubricated regularly to support smooth and quiet operation. If you notice any cracked, bent, or broken hinges, prompt replacement is essential to avoid strain on other garage door parts and prevent potential failure. Regular hinge maintenance helps **extend the life of your garage door** and **ensures reliable performance**. ##Consider Insulation If your garage is attached to your home or functions as a workshop, installing an [insulated garage door](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/garage-door-videos/garage-door-insulation) can **improve comfort** and **energy efficiency**. Insulated doors provide better temperature regulation by reducing heat transfer, helping to keep your garage cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Additionally, they offer soundproofing benefits by minimizing exterior noise. Choosing an energy-efficient insulated garage door can also reduce heating and cooling costs, making it a smart investment for homeowners seeking improved climate control and lower utility bills. ##Time for an Upgrade? If your door is aging, frequently in need of repairs, or no longer fits your home's aesthetic, it might be time for a replacement. A [**n****ew garage door**](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/new-garage-doors-toledo) offers **increased reliability** and can **s****ignificantly improve your home’s appearance** and **value**.

Your garage door is the largest moving part of your house and plays a critical role in both convenience and security. We **help homeowners across** [**Northwest Ohio**](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/areas-we-serve-toledo) keep their garage doors operating safely and efficiently. Whether you have a traditional system or a modern smart opener, taking a few simple precautions can help prevent injuries and extend the life of your door. ##1. Test the Auto-Reverse Function Modern garage doors are equipped with an auto-reverse safety feature that prevents the door from closing if something is in its path. To test this: - Place a solid object like a wooden block on the garage floor under the door - Close the door using your remote or wall control - The door should automatically reverse when it contacts the object ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner06-2025.jpg?Revision=xRy&Timestamp=k6WbC8) ##2. Check the Photo Eye Sensors Photo eye sensors are located near the bottom of each side of your garage door. These sensors detect motion or obstructions in the path of the closing door. Clean the lenses with a soft cloth and ensure the sensors are aligned properly. Misaligned or dirty sensors are one of the most common reasons for door malfunctions. ##3. Never Ignore Strange Noises or Jerky Movements There are plenty of items to watch out for whether hearing strange noises or noticing jerky movements. If you hear your door make unusual noises such as grinding, squeaking, or popping sounds, there is something off with your door. Or if you are experiencing your door not properly opening or closing, then these could be signs of worn-out components or failing parts. Ignoring these issues will only make matters worse. We specialize in **same-day service** to inspect and repair these problems before they turn into larger safety hazards. ##4. Keep Hands and Fingers Clear of Moving Parts Pinch points along the panels and tracks can pose serious risks, especially to children. Always keep hands and fingers away from hinges, springs, and rollers. If your garage door does not feature pinch-resistant panels, it may be time to consider an upgrade. ##5. Know How to Use the Manual Release In case of a power outage or emergency, you should know how to disengage your automatic opener and operate the door manually. The red release cord allows you to safely lift the door. Practice this occasionally when the door is closed and the system is in good working order. If you have any questions or would like to have one of our technicians help you with this procedure, please let us know and we will happily assist you. ##6. Schedule a Professional Safety Inspection Garage door systems involve tension-loaded parts like springs, cables, and tracks. While there are situations where **[DIY projects](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/safe-diy-projects)** could be applicable, in most cases attempting repairs without proper training can result in serious injury. Scheduling a professional garage door safety inspection at least once a year is what we recommend to all homeowners. Our [trained technicians](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/staff) check every component to ensure your door operates safely and reliably. ##Your Safety is Our Priority Simple maintenance and timely service help protect your family and extend the life of your garage door system.

Your garage door plays a major role in security and convenience, so keeping it safe and reliable is essential. In this guide, we share practical safety tips, common seasonal issues, and expert advice to help homeowners in Northwest Ohio stay protected throughout the holidays. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0112-2025.jpeg?Revision=ChF&Timestamp=5GbZc8) ##Why Garage Door Safety Matters During the Holiday Season The holidays bring extra visitors, more deliveries, and frequent coming and going. That means your garage door system works harder than usual. A small issue with a worn roller, a failing opener, or a broken garage door spring can quickly turn into an inconvenient breakdown at the worst possible time. Cold temperatures also impact metal parts, electrical components, and lubrication. As a result, many calls for garage door repair during December come from issues that could have been avoided with basic seasonal preparation. The goal is simple. Keep your door running smoothly, reduce safety risks, and ensure your home stays secure whether you are celebrating at home or traveling for the holidays. ##Essential Holiday Garage Door Safety Tips ###Inspect Your Door Before Temperatures Drop Winter fluctuations can cause metal components to contract. This often leads to stiffness, increased noise, or uneven movement. Begin by checking: - Rollers - Hinges - Cables - Tracks - Weather seal Anything that looks frayed, loose, or worn should be inspected by a technician. A simple adjustment can prevent more serious winter damage. ###Pay Attention to Door Balance A door that is out of balance is under strain. This is one of the most common reasons homeowners end up with a broken garage door spring. To test balance, lift your door manually about halfway. If it drops or shoots upward, the springs need attention. Never attempt to adjust springs yourself. Spring work is dangerous and must be handled by trained professionals. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0212-2025.jpeg?Revision=chF&Timestamp=6fbZc8) ##Make Sure Your Sensors Work Correctly Holiday decorations, storage bins, and snow buildup often block safety sensors. These sensors prevent the door from closing on a person or object. Before the busy season starts, verify that the sensors are aligned and clean. Misaligned sensors are one of the top causes of emergency garage door service calls each winter. ###Keep Your Remote and Wall Controls Secure The holidays bring more foot traffic and more opportunities for accidental access. To stay secure: - Do not leave your remote in the car overnight - Never give children access to controls - Use rolling code technology when available If your system is outdated, upgrading your garage door openers adds better safety, better security, and modern convenience features. ###Lubricate Moving Parts Cold weather thickens old lubricant and causes metal to grind. Apply a silicone based product to: - Rollers - Hinges - Springs - Bearings This improves movement, reduces noise, and lowers strain on the opener. Avoid household oils that attract dirt. ###Clear Snow and Ice Around the Door Snow can obstruct sensors, freeze the bottom seal, or block the path of the door. Keep the entry clear to prevent unnecessary wear. If your door freezes to the ground, never force it open. This can rip the bottom seal or cause opener damage. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0312-2025.jpeg?Revision=7hF&Timestamp=QfbZc8) ##When to Consider Opener Upgrades Before the Holidays A garage door opener plays a major role in safety and security. If it has been slowing down, making unusual noises, or struggling to lift the door, the holidays are a smart time to consider garage door opener installation. Features that help during the holiday season include: - Remote monitoring from your phone - Secure delivery access - Quiet operation for early morning departures - Automatic locking systems - Battery backup for winter power outages Modern openers offer more reliability, which is especially important if you travel during the season. ##People Also Ask ###Why is my garage door louder in cold weather? Cold temperatures cause metal parts to contract and thickens old lubricant. This puts added strain on springs, rollers, and the opener. Proper lubrication and seasonal maintenance often solve the issue. ###How do I keep my garage door from freezing shut? Keep snow and slush away from the base of the door and ensure your bottom seal is in good shape. If the door freezes, gently melt the ice with warm water and avoid forcing the door open. ###Is it safe to repair my own garage door spring? No. Spring systems store significant force and are extremely dangerous. Always call a professional for spring adjustment or replacement. ###Should I replace my opener before winter? If your opener is slow, inconsistent, or more than a decade old, upgrading before winter ensures better reliability and smoother operation during temperature drops. ###What is the most common holiday garage door issue? The most frequent problem is a broken garage door spring caused by temperature changes and extra seasonal usage. ##Toledo's Garage Door Company Holiday safety starts with a garage door that you can trust. With colder temperatures, increased activity, and more deliveries, your door works harder in December than in many other months of the year. Paying attention to early warning signs, scheduling seasonal maintenance, and upgrading older components can help you avoid holiday disruptions and keep your home secure. If you notice slow movement, loud operation, sensor issues, or a door that struggles to close, it is time to schedule professional help.

But who should you call? A quick Google search can flood your options with good and bad garage door companies. So, who should you rely on to get the job done right? Look for these key details when picking the right company for your garage door repairs. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner02-2024.jpg?Revision=NRy&Timestamp=cJWbC8) ##1. Reputation A company’s reputation can speak volume and help determine if they are the right fit for you. To figure out their reputation, you may need to do some detective work. First, it starts with an online search. Whether you use Google, Edge, or Firefox, search “Garage door company near me” and go! Several options should pop up. Next, check out each company’s ratings and reviews. Make sure to take both into account. If a company has a 4.9-star rating but only five reviews, it may be new and inexperienced. If a company has a 4.7-star rating with over 1,000+, it’s a good sign they are well-experienced. When looking at overall ratings, it is important to consider the recency of ratings. If ratings are suddenly negative within the past six months, it may be reflective of an internal change that has impacted on the company’s quality. Likewise, if ratings have suddenly skyrocketed, it could also reflect a change in the company. Either way, proceed with caution if ratings have suddenly dipped or raised. After sifting through ratings, it is time to begin picking through individual reviews. This can help paint a more specific picture of what strengths and weaknesses one company may have over another. When looking through individual reviews, it is important not to lend too much focus to any individual, but rather look for patterns between reviews. If many reviews are complaining about poor clean-up, then this is likely a consistent problem to expect. Another way to confirm your findings is by talking to friends and family. Word of mouth is another way to hear firsthand how companies treated your loved ones and the quality they received. ##2. Accreditations/Certifications You want an expert to perform garage door maintenance or repairs. Not someone who is looking to make a quick buck. Once you have narrowed down your garage door company search, verify them by looking up their level of training and education.

Professionalism If your garage door breaks, you want a company that is transparent with good communication, respects your time, anticipates your needs, and provides great service. That should not be a tall order with the right garage door company. ##### Before you choose a garage door repair company, ask them these questions: 1. Are they willing to work with your schedule? 1. Do they give you options that fit your needs? 1. Do they listen to your concerns or just want to make a sale? 1. Do they bring parts with them to cut down on service calls? ##4. Experience Most new businesses go out of business within their first year. When you choose a garage door repair company, you want one with experience! The new garage door company in the town may not have worked out all the kinks in their business to provide you with quality service. They do not have the testimonials, pictures, or established client base that an experienced garage door company has. You are better off choosing a company that has a couple of years under its belt rather than a company that is just dipping its toes into the business. ##5. Recognizing Red Flags While you search for a garage door company, watch out for these red flags: ###No Online/Social Media Presence We are in an internet-driven world where every reputable, professional company can list their services, phone number, and more on a web-based platform. ###Costs Seems Too Good To Be True Everyone wants to find a way to save money here and there, but where you cut in labor and parts, you cut in quality when it comes to garage door repair companies. A quick, short-term fix can lead to bigger issues. ###No Brick-and-Mortar Location If there is an issue, it is going to be easier to go into the location to find a solution than fight it out over the phone with a robot. ##Which Garage Door Brands Does Precision Work With?

Looking for new garage door openers? We will set you on the right path by breaking down the different features and latest tech to navigate when purchasing a modern garage door opener. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner03-2024.jpg?Revision=x0y&Timestamp=RQRbC8) ##Types of Garage Door Openers Garage door openers are typically categorized by their drives, with belt and chain drives dominating the current market, and screw drives filling a specific – more complicated – niche. There are [different kinds of garage door openers](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/what-kinds-of-openers-does-precision-door-repair) to consider. Garage opener drives are the main mechanism where openers – well – open garage doors. They feed into the trolley which operates the arm that lifts and shuts the garage door. Also, they are the main component that is moving when a garage door is operated, playing a large role in the noise, performance, and dependability of a garage door opener. ###Belt Drive Belt drives have surged in popularity in recent decades. They require little maintenance, are widely available, and operate light to medium-weight garage doors with ease. The major highlight of using a belt drive opener is their silence. Due to their rubber/fiberglass construction, they are the quietest drive on this list. However, belt drives eventually fail (after a long time) and can be expensive to replace. ###Chain Drive Chain drives are the oldest and most popular drive mechanism on this list. Similar in appearance to a bicycle chain, these drives will require more regular maintenance than a belt drive. Though, if chain drives are regularly cleaned and lubricated once or twice a year, they can last even longer than a belt drive. On top of this, chain drives are much more affordable to replace than belt drives. You may be asking, why on earth would you ever get a belt drive over a chain drive? Well, these guys are LOUD. Even properly lubricated chain drives will wake your neighbors in the morning. If noise is a concern for you, then belt drives are the better choice. ###Screw Drive So, let’s say you have a heavy garage door but need a nice smooth, silent operation. Well, that’s where screw drive openers come in. A threaded rod that directly lifts the trolley, screw drives make up a small portion of the market. These drives can open heavy wooden doors while operating quieter than a chain drive. A belt drive will still beat out a screw drive opener in terms of silence, but if your door is massive, this is really your best option. Best of all, screw drives tend to be relatively affordable to purchase and install when compared to high-end chain drives. They also require the same amount of maintenance and cleaning as chain drives. So, if you’re looking to update or replace an old chain drive, these are definitely worth a look!

With cars, we want to maximize our horsepower, but that’s not necessarily true for a garage door opener. Instead, when looking at horsepower, you should generally try to match it with what is required for your door size and spend your money elsewhere on other features. Below are common horsepower models, and what they should generally be paired with. - **1/3 HP** – Great for single, lightweight doors, but can break down more frequently - **1/2 HP** – Handles most single and double doors with ease - **1/3 HP** – Generally recommended for use with heavy steel or wooden doors Of course, more longevity can be expected out of higher horsepower garage door openers, so if budget is not a concern, then go ahead and get a higher horsepower. ##Safety Features Today, many garage door openers come standard with several safety features which are included on all new garage doors: - **Photo Eyes** – A sensor that detects anything blocking its path, preventing closing - **Auto-Reverse** – Working in tandem with photo eyes, this will trigger your garage door to reverse back open when something blocks the photo eyes ###Newer Functionalities: - **Auto-Close** – After a period of time being open, your garage door opener will shut your door. - **Automated Deadbolts** – Some garage door openers will automatically trigger the door’s deadbolt. ##Smart Technology The main benefits of smart openers come from their remote operation via cell phone and tracking of opening/closing. If you are a forgetful person, have people coming and going from your home, or store a vehicle that you anxiously watch the security of, these functionalities can come in handy. If you’re looking for that extra layer of certainty, these are great additions. As a bonus, many of these openers are compatible with virtual assistant software such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. So, if you’re looking for some added security and some futuristic feel, these smart garage openers may be worth looking into.

Are you looking to boost your curb appeal? Then it’s time to start looking for new garage door options from the experts at Precision! There is a variety of new designs and materials to choose from today’s garage door market. This how-to guide will help you navigate through the different options, what their benefits and drawbacks are, and what they will mean for your wallet. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner07-2024.jpg?Revision=f0y&Timestamp=7zRbC8) ##Garage Door Materials ###Steel Steel garage doors are the **most popular option for garage doors**, and for good reason! They are durable, cheap to install, and provide a high R-value for your garage’s insulation, which means your garage’s temperature will stay relatively regulated. Plus, steel requires minimal maintenance with only occasional cleaning with rust and stain resistant options. Even better, gone are the days of only plain white panels for a garage door. Many steel garage doors have painted and textured options that will elevate your garage without the added cost and extra maintenance of other material options. ###Wood If you are looking for a traditional option, wood may be what you are looking for. It’s been an **option for garage doors for many decades**, and if applied correctly, it can make your garage door stand out from everyone else on the street. However, while wooden garage doors certainly can provide some of the best-looking designs, there are major downsides to consider. Wooden garage doors require lots of upkeep, and if left untreated and cleaned, they can begin to rot. Wooden garage doors can also be one of the heaviest options, and as such will require more heavy-duty hardware. This balloons out their already hefty price tags. With this in mind, a well-maintained wooden garage door can last a lifetime if you are willing and able to keep up with the maintenance. ###Fiberglass A newer material that’s gained popularity in recent years is fiberglass. Fiberglass garage doors can be made to look **similar to wooden and high-end steel doors for a much lower cost**. Additionally, fiberglass garage doors can offer the greatest R-value for insulation. The major drawback to fiberglass is its durability. They can become brittle and yellow in the sun over the years, so they will require replacement after a decade or so. ##Garage Door Type ###Traditional A classic, traditional garage door. This is the most frequent variation that you will see when driving around your neighborhood. It is typically composed of raised rectangular panels that focus on function over design. They can be customized with windows, special paints, and hardware. This is typically the **best budget pick**. ###Carriage Carriage-style garage doors have seen a recent revival. Originally these doors were used for the storage of horse-drawn carriages. Its modern counterpart has been upscaled for the storage of larger motorized vehicles. These are great choices if you want to go for a **more old-school style with modern technology**, and now they can be offered in a variety of materials. These designs fit best on farmhouse-style homes. ###Contemporary Newer, more modern styles have appeared in the past few decades. These garage doors target clean lines and work best with a modern geometric home style. They tend to be very simple in their design with minimal embellishments. An added benefit that contemporary doors hold over traditional, or carriage doors is their **flexibility in window design**. Windows can be placed anywhere on a contemporary garage door and come away looking amazing. ##Find the Right Garage Door with Precision If you have weighed up these options and you are still unsure what the perfect pick for your home will be, contact us today.

Whether it’s squeaking, grinding, or banging, a loud garage door is often the result of wear and tear, poor maintenance, or aging components. If you live in the [](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/areas-we-serve)[](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/areas-we-serve)**[Toledo area](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/areas-we-serve)** and are experiencing garage door noise, here’s what you need to know about the possible causes, how to fix them, and when to call in a professional. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner08-2025.jpg?Revision=nRy&Timestamp=WPWbC8) ##Why Does My Garage Door Sound Loud? Loud garage doors are usually caused by issues with moving parts. These sounds can develop gradually or suddenly and identifying the root of the noise can help you prevent further damage. ###Common Causes of Garage Door Noise - **Dry or dirty rollers and tracks**: Metal rollers on a metal track can become noisy without lubrication. - **Loose hardware**: Nuts, bolts, and hinges may loosen over time, causing rattling. - **Worn-out rollers**: Older rollers can wear down and become misshapen, leading to grinding sounds. - **Broken garage door spring**: A damaged or [broken garage door spring](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/spring-repair-toledo) can create popping or snapping noises. - **Garage door opener issues**: Chain or belt drives can make excessive noise if not properly maintained. - **Imbalanced or misaligned doors**: Uneven doors may jerk or scrape during operation. If your door is producing any of these sounds, it’s time to consider garage door maintenance before the issue gets worse. ##How to Make Your Garage Door Quieter Some garage door noise problems can be solved with basic DIY maintenance. However, be cautious. Certain components like the springs can be dangerous to handle. ###Step-by-Step Tips to Quiet Your Garage Door 1. Tighten all hardware: - Use a wrench or socket set to tighten bolts and screws on hinges, brackets, and the track system. 2. Be careful not to overtighten, which can strip the hardware.Lubricate moving parts: - Use a silicone-based lubricant (not WD-40) for rollers, hinges, and springs. 3. Avoid applying lubricant to the track itself should be clean and dry.Replace worn rollers:Nylon rollers are quieter than metal and require less maintenance. 1. This job is best handled by a technician if you’re not comfortable removing rollers yourself.Inspect the opener system: 5. A chain-drive opener tends to be louder than belt-drive models. 5. If noise is coming from the motor, it may be time for a garage door opener repair.Add noise insulation: 6. Rubber pads under the opener motor can dampen vibration. 6. Insulating your garage door panels can reduce echo and outside noise. ##How Do You Lubricate a Noisy Garage Door? Regular lubrication is one of the most effective ways to reduce garage door noise. Here’s how to do it correctly: ###Lubrication Tips - Use the right product: Look for a garage door lubricant that is silicone- or lithium-based.Clean before you lube: Wipe down all components to remove dust and old residue.Apply to these areas: - Rollers (if not sealed) - Hinges - Springs - Bearing plates - Arm barFrequency: Lubricate your door every six months for consistent performance. **Important:** Never attempt to lubricate the motor or electronic components of the opener. Leave that to a professional if needed. ##When to Call for Professional Garage Door Service Not every garage door noise issue requires a service call, but many do. Knowing when to bring in a pro can save you from bigger problems later. ###Signs You Need Help - The door shakes or moves unevenly - Loud banging or popping sounds - Opener makes noise but door doesn’t move - Door doesn’t open fully or gets stuck - These could signal deeper issues that could require a garage door replacement. ##Preventing Garage Door Noise with Regular Maintenance Maintenance is key to extending the life of your door and keeping it quiet. ###Maintenance Checklist - Inspect and tighten hardware every 3 to 6 months - Lubricate all moving parts twice a year - Clean the tracks and door panels - Test door balance and auto-reverse safety features - Schedule annual inspections with a technician Our technicians can help keep your system in top shape through scheduled garage door maintenance services. ##Choosing the Right Garage Door Company in Toledo If you’re dealing with recurring issues or are considering a door replacement, finding a reliable provider is important.

It’s a key part of your home’s security, energy efficiency, and overall appearance. Most homeowners use their garage door several times a day, yet rarely stop to think about how it’s performing—until it stops working. Like any mechanical system, a garage door gives off warning signs before a failure. The key is knowing what to listen and look for. Ignoring those early signals can lead to safety hazards, expensive repairs, or even a complete system replacement. Below are the most common signs that your garage door might be trying to tell you something, along with expert guidance on when it’s time to call in a professional. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0111-2025.jpg?Revision=d4F&Timestamp=SBtHc8) ##1. Your Garage Door Sounds Different Every garage door has a familiar rhythm. When that sound changes, it usually means something isn’t working smoothly. Grinding, scraping, or banging often point to worn rollers, dry bearings, or loose metal components. Squealing might indicate a lack of lubrication, while rattling could mean fasteners have worked themselves loose. Noise is one of the most overlooked warning signs because homeowners often assume “it’s just getting old.” In reality, persistent noise is the first stage of mechanical wear. Addressing it early can prevent major repairs later. A technician can inspect the hinges, tracks, rollers, and springs to pinpoint the cause and restore quiet operation. A well-maintained door should open and close with minimal sound and steady movement. ##2. Movement Feels Jerky or Uneven A smooth-moving door indicates that the tracks, cables, and springs are balanced correctly. If the door starts jerking or hesitating as it moves, something in that system is off. Uneven movement may mean one side of the spring system is weakening, or that the tracks are no longer level. Ignoring these signs can put unnecessary stress on the opener motor and shorten its lifespan. It can also create safety risks, especially if the door becomes unbalanced and slams shut unexpectedly. If your garage door shudders or stops midway, avoid using it until a technician checks the tension springs and rollers. Continuing to operate a door in this condition can cause a cable to snap or the door to fall out of alignment. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0211-2025.jpg?Revision=44F&Timestamp=LCtHc8) ##3. The Opener Struggles or Responds Slowly Garage door openers are built to lift hundreds of pounds with minimal effort. When you notice slow response times, flickering lights, or intermittent signal issues, it’s a sign the opener is under strain. Common causes include worn gears, poor circuit connections, or overstressed motors. In many cases, the problem is not the door itself but the opener system that drives it. If your opener is more than ten years old, it may lack the technology and energy efficiency of modern models. Upgrading to a newer opener with smart features allows you to monitor and control your garage door from anywhere, while also improving security and performance. ##4. Sagging Panels or Gaps Between Sections Visual changes are another signal that your garage door needs attention. Over time, door panels can warp or lose alignment due to weather exposure or worn hinges. When this happens, gaps may appear between the sections, or the bottom edge may no longer sit flush with the floor. Sagging panels reduce your home’s insulation and allow water, dust, or pests to enter the garage. They can also indicate structural weakness that makes the door unsafe to operate. A professional can determine whether a simple realignment will solve the problem or if panel replacement is required. In some cases, upgrading to a new insulated door can dramatically improve energy efficiency and curb appeal. ##5. Light or Air Coming Through the Edges Weatherstripping around the door is designed to create a tight seal when closed. If you notice light shining through the sides or feel a draft near the bottom, the seals may have cracked or worn out. Replacing these seals is a simple but important maintenance step. It helps keep moisture out, prevents temperature fluctuations, and protects the door from corrosion. Even small gaps can lead to heat loss in winter or increased humidity during summer. ##6. The Door Feels Heavy or Unbalanced When operating the door manually, it should lift smoothly and remain in place when halfway open. If it feels unusually heavy or wants to drop shut, that’s a clear indicator of spring trouble. Garage door springs counterbalance the door’s weight. When one begins to weaken, the opener must work harder to lift the door, eventually leading to motor strain or a broken cable. Because springs are under extreme tension, they should only be adjusted or replaced by trained professionals. Attempting to fix them without proper tools can result in serious injury. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0311-2025.jpg?Revision=84F&Timestamp=sCtHc8) ##7. Your Energy Bill Is Increasing Many homeowners don’t realize how much their garage affects home efficiency. If the door isn’t sealed properly or the panels are uninsulated, conditioned air can escape, forcing your heating and cooling system to work harder. Older metal doors without insulation allow temperature changes to transfer easily. Replacing them with insulated models helps maintain stable temperatures, making your home more comfortable and lowering monthly energy costs. ##Common Questions About Garage Door Performance ###Why is my garage door making a loud noise when opening or closing? Most loud noises come from lack of lubrication, loose bolts, or worn rollers. However, persistent grinding or popping sounds could indicate a damaged spring or track misalignment. A quick inspection can determine the cause before it worsens. ###Should I try to fix a broken spring myself? No. Springs are under significant tension and can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly. Always call a certified technician for spring replacement. ###How long does a typical garage door last? A well-maintained door can last 15 to 25 years depending on usage, material, and climate. Regular tune-ups and lubrication help extend its life. ###What garage maintenance should I do myself? Homeowners can safely clean the tracks, lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based product, and check weather seals twice a year. Anything involving cables, springs, or openers should be left to professionals. ###When should I replace my garage door opener? If your opener is older than a decade, struggles to lift the door, or lacks safety sensors and smart features, it’s worth replacing. Newer models are quieter, more efficient, and come with built-in Wi-Fi and security features. ##Keeping Your Garage Door Reliable Year-Round Garage doors are built to last, but they still need regular care to stay safe and reliable. Paying attention to changes in noise, balance, or movement helps catch issues early and reduces the risk of emergency repairs later on. In Toledo and surrounding communities, seasonal temperature shifts can speed up wear on metal components and rubber seals. An annual inspection before winter helps ensure your door is operating safely and can handle colder conditions without added strain. If your garage door feels louder, slower, or less dependable than it used to be, it’s worth having it checked. We focus on safety first, explain what’s truly needed, and walk through your options without pressure. You’ll always know what to expect, and no work moves forward unless you approve it.

While it is exciting to welcome back the holidays and our snowcapped city, we can all agree that no one is looking forward to the cold, and neither is your garage door. The low temperatures can bend, contract, and potentially damage your garage door. Before this happens, prepare your garage door for the winter and save yourself time, money, and a headache. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precisiontoledoblogbanner122023.jpg?Revision=y0y&Timestamp=9fRbC8) ##Weatherstrip Outside of your garage door itself, weatherstripping is the **most important barrier protecting your garage** from the outside elements. If your weatherstrips are damaged, it will leave an opening for cold air drafts to flow into your garage and allow for heat to escape. To prevent this, inspect your weatherstrips. Signs to lookout for: - Light “leaks” through – sunlight should not be in your garage if the door is closed - Cracks and gaps - Missing sections In any case, if your weatherstrip is damaged, it is a cheap investment that can go a long way in weatherproofing your garage door. ##Lubrication Another precaution you can take to protect the more delicate parts of your garage door system is to lubricate your hinges, rails, and springs with an all-season lubricant. During the winter, your lubrication may begin to thicken as temperatures begin to drop. This could cause your door to begin sticking, eventually damaging various parts. Silicone-based lubricants are resilient to cold temperatures, but with time their efficiency may lower with wear and tear. Therefore, it is important to check for dirt and grime build-up on these components. If they are particularly dirty, it is time to clean these components and reapply some effective lubricant. Good news: If you are a Precision customer, you do not have to worry about lubricating your rollers. We use a fully sealed bearing roller that is **100% maintenance-free**! ##Heating & Insulation If your garage temperature drops too low, no amount of lubrication or weatherstripping will protect your door. With low temperatures, the metal on your garage door may begin to contract and bend. When it comes to keeping your garage warm, you can either insulate your garage to keep warm air in or heat your garage to a higher temperature. Insulation can vary from placing insulation panels directly on your garage door to insulating your entire garage. For heating, a simple radiator will do in a pinch, but garages with ducting directed into them are the most efficient and clean method. Either way, a combination of both typically works best for extreme cold. ##Keep Your Driveway Clear Keeping your driveway clear of snow is also important for protecting your garage door. If enough snow stacks up against your garage door, the weight of it may damage the door. Even with small amounts of snow, melting ice may freeze your door shut. To prevent this, try to keep at least one foot in front of your garage door clear. This can be done through shoveling and the use of salt. However, to help protect the metal components of your garage door, non-salt-based deicers are available for purchase for use in the garage door’s immediate area. ##Hire the Experts Today Any winter preparations are better than none.

This allows for voice control, scheduling, and even automation, such as closing the garage door automatically at a certain time each night. ###Real-Time Notifications With push notifications, you'll receive instant alerts if your garage door is left open, unexpectedly accessed, or experiences a malfunction. This **level of awareness is invaluable** for homeowners who want to stay informed about their property's security. ##Cons ###Higher Cost Smart garage door openers tend to be more expensive than traditional models. In addition to the upfront cost, some models require a subscription for premium features like video recording, cloud storage, and advanced security functions. This ongoing expense is an important factor to consider when making your decision. ###Technical Complexity and Maintenance Unlike standard garage door openers, smart models involve more technology, which means additional components that could potentially fail. If you're not comfortable troubleshooting connectivity issues or dealing with software updates, a smart opener may require occasional technical assistance. ###Potential Vulnerability to Hacking Since smart garage door openers rely on an internet connection, they can be susceptible to cyber threats. Although manufacturers implement security protocols to prevent breaches, hackers may still attempt to exploit vulnerabilities. #####To Reduce Risks: - Use strong, unique passwords - Enable two-factor authentication if available - Regularly update your app and firmware for the latest security news ##App Reliability and Compatibility Your smart garage door opener will require an associated mobile app to function properly. While leading brands like [MyQ](https://www.myq.com/products/smart-garage-door-opener) and [Genie Aladdin Connect](https://store.geniecompany.com/collections/garage-door-openers) offer reliable applications, some lesser-known brands may have software that is unreliable, difficult to use, or lacking in customer support. Always research the app’s performance and compatibility before purchasing. ##Upgrade Your Garage Door System Today Upgrading to a smart garage door opener brings added convenience, improved security, and modern automation to your everyday routine.

It might seem like a minor issue, but even small problems with your garage door can quickly become serious, leading to financial or personal risks. Damage doors should be **repaired immediately **to avoid escalating costs. Here's what to watch for and why timely repairs are essential. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner11-2024.jpg?Revision=b0y&Timestamp=tcTbC8) ##Common Points of Failure Garage doors rely on multiple moving parts, and over time, wear and tear can cause these components to fail. When inspecting your door, look for the following: - **Cracked, Rusted, or Loosened Rollers:** These can cause the door to operate unevenly or get stuck. - **Fraying, Rusting, or Snapped Cables:** Damaged cables may prevent the door from opening or closing properly. - **[Broken Springs](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/spring-repair-toledo):** Faulty springs can make the door too heavy to lift or cause it to slam shut. - **Snapped or Loose Hinges:** Hinges hold the door panels together; if compromised, the door may bend or warp. Operating a garage door with a broken part can cause further damage, as other components work harder to compensate for the weak area. If you spot any of these issues, stop using the door and seek professional garage door repair immediately. ##Risk of Personal Harm A damaged garage door isn’t just an inconvenience; it can be dangerous. If a crucial part like a broken garage door spring fails, it could cause the door to collapse, potentially injuring anyone nearby. Since garage doors are extremely heavy, this can result in severe injury or even death. Avoid standing under or near the door while it’s in motion if it’s damaged, and call a garage door repair specialist. ##Vehicle Damage A malfunctioning garage door can also harm your vehicle. Imagine driving under the door just as a failing component gives out. To avoid this, remove your car from the garage and refrain from using the door until it’s repaired. Professional garage door repair services can ensure your door operates safely. ##Invasion by Pests and Elements Even small gaps in the door or worn garage door weatherstripping can let in pests or water, leading to further damage. While not as urgent as a broken spring, leaving gaps untreated can result in costly repairs to your garage door and garage interior. Garage door maintenance from a professional service can catch and fix these minor issues before they become major problems. ##Avoiding Full Garage Door Replacement Ignoring early signs of damage can eventually result in the need for a full garage door replacement, which is much more expensive than repairing a single part. Addressing small issues, such as scheduling garage door spring repair or garage door opener repair, can save you from facing a hefty replacement bill. ##Reach Out to the Experts A damaged garage door can put your home, vehicle, and safety at risk. From broken springs to faulty openers, even minor issues can allow pests or harsh weather into your garage and lead to expensive repairs or full replacement. That’s why we provide both [automatic and manual garage doors](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/automatic-vs-manual-garage-doors-which-is-best) to meet the needs of every homeowner. Whether you’re looking for garage door opener installation, garage door spring repair, or complete garage door service, it’s important to address problems quickly before they worsen.

[Unsure what to do when it breaks](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/what-to-do-when-your-garage-door-breaks)? Tired of hearing creaks as your garage door opens? Have mildew and dirt building? Or maybe your paint is beginning to flake off? Well, have no worries. We are going to showcase some simple DIY projects that will have your garage door as good as new! ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner05-2024.jpg?Revision=P0y&Timestamp=T1RbC8) ##Lubricating Moving Parts If your garage door is creaking, the most likely culprits are dry moving parts and a dirty rail track. Start by cleaning your rail track. This can be easily done by running a damp rag up and down the grooves of the rail. Once you have removed all of the gunk, you can begin lubricating all moving parts on your garage door. These include: - Rollers - Hinges - [Springs](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/spring-repair-toledo) Only a light amount of lubricant is needed. Silicone-based grease works best for garage doors. Standard WD-40 should be avoided as it can cause damage to your parts. Finally, do not lubricate your rail tracks since it can cause excess dirt to build up on your tracks leading to more frequent cleanings. ##Cleaning Maybe your garage door is [opening and closing with no issue](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/why-wont-my-garage-door-openclose), but it is covered in mildew, mold, and dirt. Thankfully, cleaning a garage door is a simple process. Starting with the least aggressive chemicals, dish soap or car wash soap mixed with warm water is generally the best place to start. Using a sponge to lightly scrub in the solution and then rinsing your door with a garden hose generally removes most dirt and mold. This is recommended for garage doors made of fiberglass, aluminum, steel, and even wood. However, if you struggling to remove some pesty mold or mildew, some stronger solutions may be needed. Distilled white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and diluted bleach are excellent options for removing these pesty containments. However, these solutions should be handled with care and tested in small unnoticeable locations before cleaning the entire door. Depending on the material, these solutions could cause discoloration or damage. #####After determining that the solution will not damage your door follow these steps: - Spray warm water on the affected area - Spray the solution on the water - Let the solution sit for a few minutes - Scrub the solution with a bristle brush - Rinse with water - Repeat as needed If you have moved through these steps, but still haven’t managed to remove the dirt or mold, reach out to us today and we will safely clean your garage door. ##Painting a Garage Door After cleaning your garage door, you may discover that your paint or finish is damaged or beginning to chip. At this point, it may be time to paint your garage door. Garage doors are a centerpiece of your home, and as such, this is not a place to cut corners. Only the best paint should be used for this project, and they should be specifically designed for garage door application. #####Generally, you will want to follow the following steps to paint your garage door: - Clean your door (see the “Cleaning” section above) - Scrape off old paint or rust - Tape off the windows and corners of your garage door - Prime your garage door - Paint the trim of the door - Paint the trim of the panels - Roll brush remaining flat surfaces - Raise the garage door halfway up to prevent tacking to weather strips - Use a utility knife to cut any remaining paint between panel seams or weatherstrips **Note**: The weather should also be taken into consideration when painting your door. High heat and direct sunlight can result in the paint drying quicker than expected. Paint drying quickly can result in more wet lines appearing in your final finish, which will require more coats of paint. Finally, if you’ve never painted before, it is recommended to gather experience painting different objects or walls before tackling a garage door. While it appears simple while watching someone else paint, there are a lot of small details that require experience to execute correctly. ##Contact Us Today After following these easy DIY projects, you should have a garage door that looks as good as new. However, if you’ve found any serious issues such as rust penetrating through a panel, a worn spring, or a bending rail, contact us today.

Over time, springs weaken, openers wear out, and small misalignments can escalate into major repairs. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0109-2025.jpg?Revision=YRy&Timestamp=wZWbC8) During an annual appointment, we inspect every critical component: - Springs and cables for signs of wear or failure. - Rollers, tracks, and hinges for smooth operation. - Openers for motor and gear performance. - Safety features such as sensors and auto-reverse mechanisms.

While some issues are obvious, many garage door problems start small and gradually get worse. Knowing the warning signs early can help you avoid safety risks, unexpected breakdowns, and costly repairs. Below, we break down the most common signs your garage door may need professional attention and explain why acting sooner rather than later makes a difference. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0101-2026.jpg?Revision=rXX&Timestamp=rQ5M78) ##Unusual Noises During Operation A properly functioning garage door should operate smoothly and quietly. If you begin hearing grinding, scraping, popping, or squealing sounds, something is no longer working as intended. ###Common causes of noise include: - Worn rollers or hinges - Loose hardware - Dry bearings or springs - Opener strain While basic lubrication can sometimes help, ongoing noise often points to mechanical wear. Ignoring it can lead to further damage and increase the likelihood of needing major garage door repair. ##The Door Moves Slowly or Unevenly If your garage door hesitates, shakes, or moves unevenly while opening or closing, it is likely out of balance. This is often caused by worn cables, track misalignment, or spring issues. A door that no longer moves smoothly puts extra stress on the opener and other components. Over time, this can lead to system failure or create a safety hazard. One of the most common underlying issues is a [broken garage door spring](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/understanding-garage-door-spring-repair). Springs support the full weight of the door, and when they weaken, performance quickly declines. ##Your Garage Door Will Not Stay Open A [garage door that opens and slowly drifts back down](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/why-wont-my-garage-door-openclose) is a clear sign that the spring system is failing. Springs lose tension over time, and once they can no longer support the door properly, the opener must work harder to compensate. This issue should be handled immediately. A door that will not stay open can close unexpectedly and cause injury or damage. Spring work should never be handled without proper training. Professional inspection and repair ensure the door is balanced and safe to operate. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0201-2026.jpg?Revision=6XX&Timestamp=BQ5M78) ##The Opener Struggles or Fails to Respond [Garage door openers](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/what-kinds-of-openers-does-precision-repair) are designed to lift heavy doors with minimal effort. If your opener is slow, unresponsive, or inconsistent, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan or dealing with internal wear. Signs of opener trouble include: - Delayed response from the remote - Loud humming or grinding - Door reversing unexpectedly - Intermittent operation In many cases, garage door opener repair can restore proper function. If the opener is outdated, replacement may offer better reliability, improved security, and modern features. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0301-2026.jpg?Revision=yXX&Timestamp=KS5M78) ##Visible Wear on Cables, Rollers, or Tracks Garage door components experience constant motion and tension. Over time, cables can fray, rollers can crack, and tracks can bend or shift. Visible signs of wear include: - Rusted or frayed cables - Chipped or cracked rollers - Bent tracks or loose brackets These parts are essential to safe operation. When one component fails, it often affects others. Professional service ensures worn parts are replaced correctly and the system is properly aligned. ##The Door Looks Crooked or Sagging A garage door should appear level when closed and evenly aligned when opening. If it looks crooked, sags on one side, or has visible gaps between panels, something is off. This can be caused by: - Uneven spring tension - Track misalignment - Panel damage - Structural wear In addition to affecting appearance, alignment issues increase strain on the opener and reduce insulation effectiveness. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-img-0401-2026.jpg?Revision=FXX&Timestamp=bS5M78) ##Rising Energy Bills or Drafts Near the Garage Your garage door plays a role in home energy efficiency, especially if the garage is attached. Worn seals, damaged panels, or poor insulation allow air to move freely in and out. If you notice drafts near the door, moisture inside the garage, or higher heating or cooling costs; it may be time for professional inspection or upgrades. Proper garage door repair or replacement can improve comfort and efficiency. ##People Also Ask ###How do I know if my garage door needs repair or replacement? Frequent repairs, ongoing performance issues, and visible wear often signal the need for professional evaluation. A technician can help determine whether repair or replacement makes more sense. ###Is it safe to use a garage door with a broken spring? No. A broken garage door spring makes the door unsafe to operate and can damage the opener or cause sudden failure. ###Why does my garage door reverse when closing? This is often due to sensor misalignment, track obstruction, or opener force settings. It should be inspected to prevent safety risks. ###How often should a garage door be serviced? Annual service is recommended to inspect springs, cables, rollers, and openers. Regular Toledo garage door service helps prevent unexpected breakdowns. ###Can garage door problems get worse if ignored? Yes. Small issues often lead to larger repairs when left unresolved, increasing cost and safety risk. ##Why Professional Repair Matters Garage doors are heavy, complex systems with high tension components. While minor upkeep can be handled by homeowners, most repairs should be left to trained technicians. Professional service ensures: - Proper diagnosis - Safe handling of springs and cables - Long term reliability - Correct alignment and balance Your garage door rarely fails without warning. Noise, uneven movement, slow operation, and visible wear are all signs that professional repair may be needed. Addressing these issues early helps protect your home, improve safety, and extend the life of your garage door system. Book an appointment today to have your garage door inspected and repaired by experienced professionals who know what to look for and how to fix it right.[](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/book-now) [Book an Appointment](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/book-now) # ​Spring Cleaning and Garage Door Maintenance Source: https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/spring-cleaning-and-garage-door-maintenance With spring just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to refresh your home and that includes your garage door. Ensure your door operates smoothly and looks its best is key to maintaining both functionality and curb appeal. ##Keep Your Garage Door Moving Smoothly One simple, yet effective [DIY](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/safe-diy-projects) garage door maintenance task is lubricating your garage door opener and its moving parts. Focus on hinges, springs, and other high-contact points, using a silicone-based lubricant for optimal performance. Avoid white lithium grease, as it tends to leave behind a messy residue. Ideally, you should lubricate these components twice a year. However, it's important not to lubricate the rollers. Doing so can attract dust and dirt into the bearings, causing more harm than good. Fortunately, if you're using fully sealed bearing rollers like the ones we provide for our customers, they are 100% maintenance-free. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner03-2025.jpg?Revision=gRy&Timestamp=MzTbC8) ##Check and Replace Garage Door Seals Once the spring sunshine starts streaming in, check your garage door for gaps. Stand inside your garage with the door closed and look for any sunlight peeking through around the edges. If you notice light, it’s a sign that the rubber seal or weather-stripping may be worn out. Faulty seals can let in not only drafts and moisture but also pests, compromising the temperature and cleanliness of your garage. This is especially important if you have a heated or insulated garage, as a proper seal helps maintain energy efficiency. ##Test Safety Features and Controls Safety should always be a priority. Start by testing your garage door opener’s auto-reverse feature. Place a flat board on the ground beneath the door and when it touches the board, it should automatically reverse. If it doesn’t, the safety mechanism may need adjustment or garage door repair. Don’t forget to check other key components: - **Safety sensors**: Located near the bottom of the door. These sensors can gather dust and cobwebs, potentially interfering with their function. Wipe them clean regularly. - **Light bulbs**: The overhead light won’t last forever, so inspect it once or twice a year and replace it as needed. - **Remotes and keypads**: Your garage door opener is only as reliable as its power source. Test your remotes and keypads and replace batteries at the first sign of weakness. ##Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal Your garage door is a major element of your home’s exterior. To keep it looking sharp, wash it thoroughly using a non-abrasive cleaner and a quality sponge or car wash mitt. Pay extra attention to stubborn spots, then rinse well. Once your garage door is spotless, you might find yourself inspired to give your car a quick clean up too, tackling both at once ensures your driveway makes a great first impression. ##Toledo Garage Door Service If you notice that something is off with your garage door, don't ignore the signs.

The springs are responsible for balancing the heavy weight of the door, allowing them to open and close smoothly. If a spring breaks, it can cause the door to malfunction, resulting in costly repairs or even potential safety hazards. Here’s what you need to know about garage door spring repair. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-fwblog-banner03-2025.jpg?Revision=8Ry&Timestamp=Z9TbC8) ##Garage Door Spring Types Garage doors rely on spring systems to support the lifting and lowering of the door. The two most common types are torsion springs and extension springs, each offering a different method of operation. - **Torsion Springs**: Positioned above the garage door, these springs use torque to lift the door. As the door closes, the springs wind tightly to store energy, which is then released to open the door. - **Extension Springs**: Installed along the sides of the door tracks, these springs stretch as the door closes. The stored tension helps pull the door open when activated. ###Spring Lifespan and Safety Considerations Both types of springs are under high tension and can wear down or break over time. Torsion springs generally last around 10,000 cycles, or 7 to 10 years, depending on usage. Regular maintenance and professional inspection are recommended to ensure safe and reliable garage door performance. ##Why Do Springs Break? There are several reasons why garage door springs may break: 1. **Age**: Over time, the metal in the springs will weaken, causing them to snap. Regular wear and tear are the primary cause of spring failure. 1. **Poor Maintenance**: Lack of proper maintenance. Such as neglecting to lubricate the springs, can accelerate wear and tear, leading to breakage. 1. **Misalignment**: Springs can become misaligned due to improper installation or other issues, causing them to fail prematurely. 1. **Environmental Factors**: Extreme weather conditions can lead to cracks or snapping of springs. ##Watch for These Signs It’s essential to recognize the signs that your springs need repair or replacement. Here are some key indicators: - **Door Is Heavy to Lift**: If your door feels unusually heavy when trying to open or close it, it may be due to a broken spring. - **Uneven Movement**: A door that moves unevenly, such as jerking or lurching during operation, could indicate a spring issue. - **The Door Doesn’t Open at All**: If the garage door doesn’t open and the opener motor runs, chances are the spring is broken. - **Visible Damage**: If you see gaps, cracks, or other visible damage in the springs, it’s time for an inspection and potential repair. ##Our Most Common Repair One of the most frequent repairs we handle is replacing [broken garage door springs](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/spring-repair-toledo).

Do you hear loud creaking as it slowly pulls itself up for you? Your garage door opener likely has a failing part. If you’re left scratching your head, it’s time to call the experts at Precision! ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner06-2024.jpg?Revision=Y0y&Timestamp=8lRbC8) Precision offers repairs for all popular garage door opener brands including: - [LiftMaster](https://www.liftmaster.com/for-homes/garage-door-openers)® - [Chamberlain](https://www.chamberlain.com/) - [Genie](https://store.geniecompany.com/collections/garage-door-openers) - Sears Beyond offering repairs for the most popular garage door brands, Precision also offers garage door repair for the following [garage door opener types](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/how-to-choose-the-best-garage-door-opener-for-your-home): - **Belt Drive:** Known for its quiet operation, this system uses a rubber belt to lift the door, offering smooth and noise-free performance. - **Chain Drive:** A durable and reliable option, the chain drive uses metal chains to operate the door, making it ideal for heavier doors. - **Screw Drive:** This opener type uses a steel rod to move the door, providing efficient and low-maintenance operation. - **Side Mount Motor:** Installed beside the door, this system saves ceiling space and provides a sleek, space-efficient solution for garages with limited overhead clearance. ##Repair or Replace? Choosing between repairing or replacing a garage door opener is something to take into consideration when calling our experts. A general rule of thumb is that the life expectancy of a garage door opener is around 10 to 15 years. Even with exceptional maintenance, if you have begun running into issues with a 10 to 15-year-old garage door opener, you can expect to run into a lot more and should look into a full replacement to save your wallet on labor costs. What should also be considered is choosing between repairing or replacing specific parts of a garage door opener. Sometimes it is cheaper to simply replace a part, other times there are safety considerations, and occasionally some parts cannot be repaired. Below is a short list of common parts of a garage door opener that could break or be damaged, whether they should be repaired or replaced, and if they are easy DIY projects or if more expertise is required. - **Opener Remotes:** Barring a simple battery replacement, these are cheap and easy to replace yourself. Repairing is rarely worth it. - **Drive Unit:** The box installed on your garage ceiling containing the motor. These can be repaired, but generally require a technician’s expertise. The cost to repair varies depending on the damage. Treat this on a case-by-case basis. - **Chains:** These rarely need maintenance beyond lubrication. If the chain is loose, you can tighten it at the adjustment nut with a wrench. So, they are possible to repair, although damaged or broken chains are better off being replaced since there are likely multiple points that will fail in the future. Replacing a chain can be intensive, and will require a savvy DIYer or a technician. - **Belts:** Put simply, a damaged belt cannot be repaired. This will also take a savvy DIYer with a few hours to spare or one of our technicians. - **Photo Eyes:** Typically when these “break” they are actually just misaligned or dirty. Bending them back into place or just cleaning them often remedies the problem. If you still cannot get them to work, make sure the wiring is connected correctly. If they’re still completely bricked, a replacement will be needed, but thankfully they’re easy to install and replace. - **Emergency Release Rope: **Any piece of rope or string will do to replace this, as it is simply moving a latch. Some homeowners remove their emergency release ropes altogether to [prevent burglars from breaking into their home](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisionfw-blog/what-is-the-best-garage-door-for-security). ##Garage Door Opener Repair Services If you’re unsure how to repair or replace a part of your garage door, contact us today! We’ll get you started and get your opener back up and running in no time.

Even after you have clicked your garage door button a couple dozen times, your door refuses to [open or close](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/why-wont-my-garage-door-openclose). From troubleshooting to temporary repairs, this blog provides practical tips to get your door back on track. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner01-2024.jpg?Revision=L0y&Timestamp=jCRbC8) ##Safety Sensors The most frequent issue preventing a garage door from closing are blocked, misaligned, or dirty safety sensors. These sensors are located at the base of your garage door on the left and right tracks. One sensor will beam infrared radio signals to the receiver sensor. If the receiver sensor receives this beam, it will allow the door to close. However, if the beam is not received, the door will not close – often beginning to close, then quickly rolling back up. If your garage door is displaying these symptoms, check for any items that may be blocking your sensors. Then attempt to reposition your sensors so they are towards one another and attempt to close your garage door. If the issue is not resolved, check for smudges on the sensors. A damp cloth will work well to clean off any obstructions. After taking these steps, if your garage door still refuses to close, it is time to check for other potential issues. ##Electronic Openers With [electronic garage door openers](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/shop/door-openers), failures may result in your garage door not moving at all when using a remote control. If this is the case, these quick fixes may help get your garage door back under control. - **Check Remote Control’s Batteries:** It may seem obvious, but if you’ve been trying to use your remote control to no avail, try using another remote connected to the garage door opener. If your door opens, your remote control may simply need new batteries. Your remote control also may have disconnected from your garage opener, in which case you will need to follow your garage door’s manual to reconnect the remote control. - **Check the Opener’s Power:** If all remotes suddenly fail to open/close your door, then it may be a deeper issue. Check to make sure power is being delivered to your garage door opener. A tripped circuit or disconnected wire could easily prevent your garage door opener from executing its tasks. - **Reset the Garage Door Opener: **A simple forced “off” and “on” to reset itself may be all your garage door needs to right itself. Each opener has its unique way of resetting itself, so look up your model’s manual and follow its instructions. Most modern manuals can easily be found online by searching the model’s name and number. ##Tracks, Rollers, & Springs At this point, if your garage door is still stuck, one of three issues probably are at play – tracks, rollers, or [springs](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/spring-repair-toledo). For tracks and rollers, check for any obvious wear and tear. If your garage door has gotten to the point where it no longer opens or closes, then this damage will stand out. Looking at the tracks, they may have detached at connection points. Sometimes these can easily be fixed by replacing a bolt or screw, but other times the metal may be twisted beyond repair. The final solution may rest with your garage spring. If you notice any warping or damage to your garage spring, stop using your garage door immediately! These springs are what lift your garage door and carry a dangerous amount of force. Attempting to replace a garage door spring without proper training can often result in serious injury. ##Be Safe and Call Precision Some of these solutions are easy for any homeowner to take on, while other fixes, such as broken garage door spring or garage door opener repair, are a bit more advanced even for the savvy DIYer. When your garage door breaks, save yourself time and call in the [reputable garage door company](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/how-to-choose-a-reputable-garage-door-repair-company-in-northwest-ohio) in the [Toledo area](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/areas-we-serve) for professional garage door repair. [](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/book-now)[Book an Appointment](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/book-now) # Garage Door Opener Installation Source: https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/what-to-know-before-installing-a-new-garage-door-opener If your garage door opener is starting to show signs of wear or no longer responds consistently, it might be time to consider an upgrade. At Precision Garage Door Service of Toledo, we work with homeowners every day who are unsure whether they need a repair or a full garage door opener replacement. Knowing what to look for and understanding your options can help you make the right choice for your home and your schedule. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner07-2025.jpg?Revision=JRy&Timestamp=lFWbC8) ##When Is It Time to Replace Your Opener? A garage door opener **typically lasts 10 to 15 years** depending on use, maintenance, and weather exposure. If your opener is making unusual noises, lagging, or occasionally failing to open or close the door, those are clear signs something is off. Sometimes the issue may be electrical or related to the remote, but consistent malfunctions usually point to internal wear. Additionally, if your system lacks safety features like auto-reverse sensors or does not work with smart home technology, replacing the unit can improve both function and peace of mind. ##Choosing the Best Type of Garage Door Opener There are several types of openers available today, and each offers different advantages. Chain drive openers are reliable and cost-effective, but they can be louder than belt driven options. Homeowners looking for quieter performance often choose belt drive models, especially if the garage doors are near a bedroom or living space. Many of our customers now ask about the [**b****est type of garage door opener**](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/how-to-choose-the-best-garage-door-opener-for-your-home) for smart integration. Newer openers allow for remote access, app notifications, and security alerts. These features are not just convenient; they also increase the safety of your home. [](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/shop/door-openers)[Garage Door Opener Options](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/shop/door-openers) ##Why Professional Installation Matters Installing an opener may seem straightforward, but it involves electrical work, proper alignment, and precise calibration. Our technicians are trained to ensure that your new garage door opener is set up correctly and safely. We test all components, adjust force settings, and verify that safety sensors are fully functional. Improper installation can damage the opener, reduce the life of your garage door, and even pose a safety risk. We make sure every opener we install is fully tested and ready to operate without error from the first use. ##Do I Need a New Garage Door Too? While many homeowners assume they need a full garage door replacement when their opener fails, this is not always the case. A well-maintained garage door can often work fine with a new opener. However, if the door itself is unbalanced, warped, or noisy, it may be time to consider a full garage door installation. We offer options ranging from traditional styles to [**custom garage doors**](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/benefits-of-a-custom-garage-door), depending on your needs and home design. ##Maintenance Makes a Difference Regular [**garage door maintenance**](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/spring-cleaning-and-garage-door-maintenance) helps extend the life of both your door and opener. This includes checking the balance, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting the [**garage door springs**](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/understanding-garage-door-spring-repair). If you suspect a broken or weakened spring, avoid operating the door and contact a professional immediately. A broken garage door spring can cause major damage or injury if not addressed. ##Get Reliable Garage Door Service in Toledo If you are considering a new garage door opener, contact us today to schedule a consultation.

Source: https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/why-wont-my-garage-door-openclose Nothing is more frustrating than a garage door that has suddenly decided to become a wall. Sometimes doors need a gentle reminder of their purpose. If your garage door has decided not to open or close, there could be several potential causes. This blog will walk you through the most common solutions to your garage door woes. ![](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/Data/precision-toledoblog-banner10-2024.jpg?Revision=s0y&Timestamp=C5TbC8) ##Remote Sometimes the solution to your garage door woes is as simple as a faulty or desynced remote control. Try opening the garage door manually, through a different remote, or with a wired keypad. If any of these options work, it is likely that you simply need to resync your garage door remote. Follow the instructions in your garage door opener manual to reset your remote. If the remote continues to not work, you may need to replace the battery or the remote itself. ##Photo-Eye Sensors The photo eyes located at the base of your garage door are used to detect if your garage door is obstructed before closing. They send a laser from the transmitter on one end of the garage door to the receiver on the opposite end. To ensure your photo eyes are not preventing the garage door from closing check for the following: - **Obstructions:** Remove anything that might block the photo eyes. - **Dirt or Dust on Lenses:** Dirty lenses can also obstruct the “view” of the photo eyes. Cleaning them from time to time is recommended. - **Misalignment:** A poorly placed kick can easily set a receiver or transmitter out of whack. You can easily bend the receivers back into place, so they are pointing at one another. - **Damage: **Check for any visible signs of damage. If you’re unsure if the photo eyes are damaged, troubleshoot other common issues in this guide first. ##Misaligned or Bent Tracks Tracks are what carry the garage door up and down. If they become misaligned or bent, this can prevent a door from opening and closing. Without needing to replace the tracks, there are a few quick solutions that might resolve this issue. First, check that the tracks are properly bolted into their brackets. If they are loose, find the appropriate wrench and tighten them. Then, check for bends in the track and carefully straighten them using a wrench or pair of pliers. If the damage is severe, these quick [**DIY tricks**](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/resources/precisiontoledo-blog/safe-diy-projects) will not resolve the issue and you should call the garage door repair experts at Precision. ##Weak Motor If you’ve noticed that your garage door has been struggling to open leading up to this breakdown, the source may be your garage door opener itself. Their motors tend to **wear out after 20 years**, sometimes sooner if a weak motor is trying to lift a heavy door. If this is the case, you will need to replace the opener. ##Broken Torsion or Extension Springs The final issue that may be preventing your garage door from opening/closing is the most dangerous. [**Garage door springs**](https://www.precisiondoortoledo.com/spring-repair-toledo) are each rated for a certain number of cycles before they need to be replaced. If you are unsure how many cycles they are rated for, then inspect your torsion or extension spring for your garage door. They are typically located near the ceiling of your garage. If they appear rusted, worn, or cracked, immediately call an expert to handle the replacement. These springs are dangerous to replace and can result in severe injury or even death. A stuck garage door can put a rift in your plans for the day. Luckily, we are garage door spring repair experts and are ready to help 24/7 and can get you back to your daily routine in no time.
