Video transcript of basic garage door repair service information - matches below full video clip

Garage doors, like everything in your home need to be maintained every now and then. Theres a lot of moving, sliding and stretching parts here, working in symphony, with tight tolerances, high tensions and electricity. They need occasional tweaking and maintenance or else... or else what? Your garage door won't open? So what? We count on things to run smoothly and we count on our vehicle, we count on our appliances, we count on our heating and air conditioning, and we count on our garage door systems. If your garage door doesn't work and your car is stuck inside then you can't make an appointment, can't make it to work, can't get the kids to school, then it's an emergency.

In those rare situations when you are unable to get your door to open electrically there is a way to get your garage door to release by hand. Usually you will have a release cord hanging down from your system that releases the garage door from the electric garage door opener, let go of your cord, reach down and lift the door by hand.

The stored energy in the spring counter-balance system combined with the weight of the garage door will be very unforgiving if not approached with the proper tools and knowledge. One thing that we do see frequently when a home owner tries to work on these systems on their own, they do get injured, and we know it because the blood trail starts here and trickles on into the house. So what looks very innocent when the door is closed is actually an extremely dangerous portion of the garage door. Anywhere up in here where the spring mounts together with it's mounting plate or on the other end where you apply the actually tension too, both of those areas are very dangerous, so to let you know about those we apply these caution tags or warning tags to let you know you to stay clear it can hurt.

Garage Doors and Children

- Children need to be taught to keep their fingers away from section joints and their hands away from the door. They need to know not to play under or near a garage door, also that the transmitters in the car or the buttons on the wall are not to be touched, not to be played with. In general what you want to teach your children is that the garage door is not a toy.

In 1993 there was a change to the garage door opener industry and a requirement to have a photo electric sensor installed with all garage door openers. If you've ever had a problem with a garage door closing it could just be the photo sensor. These brackets can easily be out of alignment and adjusted by hand and an easy adjustment by hand may be all you need to get your garage door working again and save you the cost of having someone come out and look at it.

Another little tip for garage door openers, the manufacturers provide for up to 100 watts of lighting capacity, why not put in a 40 to 60 watt appliance grade light bulb save a little energy and it will light up the garage just as well.

For those of you that have an older garage door where the springs stretch vertically or horizontally along the side a very important thing to have is a safety retention cable within the coils of the spring, when these springs break, and the will a lot of damage can occur. We've seen them embedded in the front walls of your house, pushed up in to the attics of your garage and even having done a lot of damage to your cars. So it's a very important thing to have a professional door dealer taking care of is to ensure these safety retention cables are secure and properly installed.

One of the most common concerns that people have is that the garage door is getting noisy, and some of this stuff you can take care of yourself. Some of this stuff you can take care of easily yourself, and just with a regular aerosol can of lubricant we recommend about every 6 months or so to go through and spray the rollers and the hinge points, that in itself can reduce a lot of the noise that may develop and is something that you can easily do yourself.
