Can I replace garage door springs by myself?
Never attempt to replace your garage door springs by yourself. Broken garage door springs hold a lot of tension from lifting the door. If you attempt garage door spring replacement without any training, they may snap back and injure you or cause worse damage to your garage door system.
Why is my garage door making a lot of noise?
Garage doors that make a lot of noise are a common occurrence due to wear and tear. The most common cause of squeaking and creaking in older doors is worn-out garage door springs, rollers, and tracks. When one of our technicians comes to perform garage door maintenance, we’ll make sure to lubricate all the hardware components for smooth gliding and less friction.
Can I install my garage door myself?
Garage door installation is a highly technical undertaking that needs specialized equipment and expertise. As a result, employing a professional garage door installer provides not only high-quality work but also a safe and proper installation. Torsion springs, for example, can cause injury if they release enough stress. Expert overhead door installers are trained in garage door installation and can have your new door up much faster with less trouble. Contact us to get started!
When is the best time to receive garage door maintenance?
We recommend annual or bi-annual maintenance in the spring or fall seasons. It is best to reassure your garage door system before the onset of winter or summer when temperatures may be extreme. We detail more insights about saving you money in the long run on our Garage Door Maintenance page.
Why is my garage door opener flashing?
There may be something blocking your garage door sensors. Known as your operating system’s safety eyes, these sensors are located at the base of your garage door. Try clearing away any dust or dirt from the sensors, and make sure they’re aligned properly and that nothing’s in the way. If this still doesn’t work, give us a call, and we’ll inspect your garage door and opener.
Garage Door Replacement
Do I need to replace the entire garage door or can I just replace one panel?
This is dependent on the extent of the damage to your garage door. If the damage to the door isn’t limited to just the panel, replacing the entire door may be a more cost-effective option. Tanners Garage Door can perform garage door panel replacement based on the damage to your overhead door.
When should I replace my garage door?
Garage doors need to be replaced every 15 to 30 years. If your garage door has any signs of sagging or bending, it may be time for it to be replaced.

As with all things mechanical and operational, your garage door system can begin to degrade over time due to constant wear and tear.
