Continuous wear, or even recent garage door repairs that weren’t completed properly, can result in your garage door being off balance. As the name indicates, this is a bad condition for any garage door. It can become ‘heavy’ and require your garage door opener to work harder than is required. This ultimately causes your garage door opener to stop working. For this reason, it is very important that balancing garage doors be done.

Although balancing a garage door can be a do-it-yourself project, we suggest calling Covenant Garage Doors at 770-720-7828 to perform this work for you. It can be quite dangerous if not performed correctly with skill and knowledge. Additionally, performing this work as an unskilled do-it-yourselfer could make the problem worse. That can cost you even more in the long run. Again we stress that you call in a professional garage door specialist. They will get the balancing done for you correctly on the first attempt.

Here is a list of benefits for balancing your garage doors every year:

• Balancing garage doors allows for the door’s optimal performance
• Balancing garage doors allows for the door’s reliable functionality
• Balancing your garage door means that the garage door opener is not worn out prematurely
• Most importantly of all it is crucial for the safety of you, your family, and your property!

An unbalanced garage door can close too quickly or with too much force, this is in incredibly unsafe scenario. This unpredictability means a garage door could come crashing down on someone or something that might be under it at any given time.

Also, it is an equally unsafe scenario if the garage door opens too quickly. The door could move out of its track and cause significant damage. Not only would this cause damage to you or your property, costing you thousands of dollars, but you would also need new garage doors installed. Therefore, it is not only important to keep garage doors balanced, but it is equally important to have the balance checked periodically by a professional garage door specialist.
