Monthly visual check
- Watch the door open and close from inside the garage
- Listen for new scraping, grinding, popping, or rattling
- Look for frayed cables, crooked movement, bent track, or displaced rollers
- Keep the sensor path clear
- Check visible mounting hardware for obvious looseness
Know what not to adjust
Do not casually loosen spring anchors, cable drums, lift cables, or tensioned hardware. If the door has become heavy, crooked, or unstable, move from maintenance to repair.
When a tune-up makes sense
If the door works but has become noisier or rougher, consider a garage door tune-up.
