Take a few minutes to inspect and test your complete garage door system. Make monthly inspection and testing a part of your regular routine.

HARDWARE
Look at the garage door springs, cables, rollers, pulleys, and other door hardware for signs of wear. If you suspect problems, have a qualified person make repairs.

WARNING!- Springs are under high tension. Only qualified persons should adjust them.

Garage door springs, cables, brackets, and other hardware attached to the springs are under very high tension and, if handled improperly, can cause serious injury. Only a qualified professional or a mechanically experienced person should adjust them, but only by carefully following the manufacturer's instructions. The torsion springs (the springs above the door) should only be adjusted by a professional. Do not attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself. A restraining cable or safety clips should be installed on the extension spring (the spring along the side of the door) to help contain the spring if it breaks.

		Single Tension System Tension Springs, pulleys, wheels and Steel hinges (if applic.) Double Torsion System Torsion springs, wheels & steel hinges (if applic).
Never remove, adjust, or loosen the screws on the bottom brackets of the door. These brackets are connected to the spring by the lift cable and are under extreme tension.	LUBRICATION Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the door. However, do not lubricate plastic idler bearings. Consult the door owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendation.

Periodically test the balance of your door.

1. Start with the door closed.
2. If you have a garage door opener, use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this test.
3. PuYou should be able to lift the door smoothly and with little resistance. It should stay open around ,800m – 1.2m above the floor. If it does not, it is out of adjustment. Have it adjusted by a qualified service person. Contact DoorZone for more information.
