Optimizing Safety & Durability

Our signature garage door maintenance, tune-up and safety inspection service is designed to examine equipment and verify compliance across our service area, as well as find and fix potential risks to the safety and reliability of the system.

Scheduled maintenance and inspection service performed within a set timeframe and should occur at repeating intervals or in response to the customer’s request and manufacturer’s recommendations.

Customers who use their garage doors frequently (more than 5 times a day), should consider reducing the time interval between inspections. The optimal time interval for a regular use is 12 months, where frequent use may be reduced to every 6 months.

Maintenance & Tune-Up Service – What To Expect?

Our signature maintenance and inspection service performed on site by our in-house certified technicians who possess the experience, knowledge and understanding of various garage door systems, the operating components of the garage door and maintenance planning.

The work may include:

  • Inspect overall condition, structural and functional integrity of the garage door.
  • Alignment and adjustments of system components.
  • Test garage door’s balance and torque levels.
  • Recalibration of the torsion system on sectional garage doors.
  • Recalibration of hinges on one-piece garage doors.
  • Inspect safety features of automatic lifting devices.
  • Inspect the automatic opener’s components.
  • Inspect garage frame, fixtures and supporting brackets.
  • Test and inspect moving parts such as rollers, hinges and bearings.

Maintenance, tune-up, inspection and equipment testing is the most efficient way to ensure the garage door’s functional and structural integrity.

Our goal is to accomplish active safety function, to ensure the functional integrity of the garage door system and its mechanisms, to prevent fire and electrical hazards, and promptly repair the highest-priority equipment issues found through inspections. Major repair tasks for all other conditions may be scheduled for completion at a different date. This service covers all preventive and remedial measures, both mechanical and technical, to detect and mitigate operational hazards and potential risks, and ensure a satisfactory and a safe level of performance.

Inspection Of Safety Features In Modern Garage Door Systems

As part of our signature maintenance and tune-up service, we perform testing and inspection of the electric operator’s safety devices. The objectives are to maintain and improve safe operating conditions set by regulatory agencies, to confirm compliance with operational limits and conditions, and to identify and correct abnormal conditions before an incident occurs. The relevant abnormal conditions include not only an imbalance condition which may affect the opener’s safety devices, but also incorrect force levels applied to the electric motor in a closing cycle.

Our certified technicians utilize analysis methods to detect operating conditions that deviate from the standard and the manufacturer’s design intent.

Utilizing proven processes, we determine whether the garage doors’ mechanisms are suitable for continued safe operation or whether remedial measures should be taken. We work to maximize performance and reliability for both the garage door and the automatic garage opener, as well as ensure proper integration between the two systems.


Our maintenance service include testing Class 1 applicable products:

Type A – RPM Sensor

The RPM sensor measures the opener’s electric motor rotating speed. This system is designed to change the garage door’s trajectory during a closing cycle if the circuit senses a sudden change in the motor’s rotating speed, then converting the change to an electrical output. In a real world scenario, Type A safety device works in the following manner: The RPM sensor will signal a vertically moving overhead garage door to reverse after initiating contact with an obstruction.

Type B1 – Photoelectric Sensor

The garage door photo eyes are designed to detect objects & changes in surface & structural conditions through generation of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Type B1 safety systems are comprised of a transmitter sensor that emits EMR light, & a receiver sensor that receives the light. When the emitted light is obscured or interrupted, the light that the receiver sensor collects is being reduced or completely cut off. This system will change the garage door’s trajectory during a closing cycle if the circuit senses a sudden change in the amount of light that is being collected by the receiver sensor, then converting the change to an electrical output.

These systems must be inspected according to industry standards and maintained by the manufacturer’s maintenance service intervals and recommendations.
