About Safety Inspection and Tune-Up
Garage doors are the biggest moving object in a home and among the heaviest, which makes annual safety checks genuinely worth it. Our tune-up covers the full checklist: spring wind and wear, cable strands, roller condition, track alignment, hardware torque, and opener force and reversal settings. Photo-eye sensors get aligned and tested with an obstruction, and the door gets a balance test by hand. For Chicago, Illinois garages, we also clear track channels of the grit and salt that blow in off city alleys.
Common Problems We Solve With Safety Inspection and Tune-Up
Loose Hardware and Track Drift
Bracket bolts and track fasteners loosened by years of vibration and freeze-thaw.
Sensors Out of Alignment
Photo eyes bumped out of alignment, blocking the door from closing at all.

Safety Inspection and Tune-Up Questions
How often should my garage door be inspected?
Annually is the standard, with many Chicago, Illinois homeowners booking in fall before freeze-up. Older springs and heavy doors justify twice-yearly checks.
What is the reversal test?
Place a block of wood on the floor where the door lands and close it. A compliant door reverses on contact. We perform this and the photo-eye test during every tune-up and show you the results.
What gets lubricated during a tune-up?
Springs, bearings, rollers, and hinge points get the correct lubricant, while track channels get cleaned rather than greased so grit doesn't build up. We use products meant for door systems, not generic oil.
