When It Might Be Time For A Garage Door Replacement

It’s not very often that a garage door will simply stop working “out of the blue.” More than likely, the door or opener have demonstrated signs that they’re deteriorating or about to fail. Knowing what to look out for can go a long way in avoiding an emergency repair or replacement.

Here are a few telltale signs that you may need to replace your garage door in the near future.

R

The door is loud or noisy when opening and closing

If your door makes scraping, grinding or rattling sounds when it’s opened or closed, your opener may be starting to burn out. Believe it or not, garage door openers are supposed to be rather quiet! If your opener is more than 10 years old, or is making strange noises, it may be time for a replacement.

R

The door will occasionally fail to open

If your door seems to randomly “choose” when to open and not open, you may have a wiring or electrical issue. Minor wiring problems can sometimes be repaired, but advanced damage or frequent failure will likely require a new opener.

R

The door will not open or close at all

If your door simply won’t open or close no matter how many times you press the keypad, and you’ve ruled out any electrical issues, you more than likely have a dead motor and will need a new door opener.

Be aware that not all garage door malfunctions are related to a faulty opener. There are many ways the door itself can become damaged and in need of replacement. Time, weather damage, animal damage or normal wear and tear can weaken a door and make it less effective. If you notice your door is no longer closing all of the way, or is damaged to the point that it can no longer keep out the elements and other unwanted visitors, it’s time for a garage door replacement!

Kareem was so very kind and patient with me,explaining options. I chose to have him replace the rubber strip on the bottom of my garage door to help keep mice out-he suggested I buy a strip at Home Depot to put across the floor as further deterent. He then got the job done quickly and efficiently. I am so very appreciative for him.

I heard a commercial on WTMJ, so glad we called Lifetime Doors. They replaced my old "Barn" garage door and exceeded our expectations! The entire process from visiting their showroom, to educating us on options to the no pressure team that treated us like family. Highly recommend. Arnie

Ricardo stopped by to make an adjustment to a garage door Lifetime had installed earlier this year. After an inspection, Rick noticed that the balance of the door was slightly off and he made an adjustment to the spring tension. After the spring adjustment and a fresh lubrication, the door operates much smoother and quieter now. All this work and there was no service charge. Lifetime is truly a great company to do business with!

Lifetime is excellent! They were able to provide a reasonable ballpark figure via phone to replace my broken spring(s) and scheduled the work promptly. Mike M arrived timely and efficiently performed the needed repair. Final cost very reasonable. Very good communication throughout the process. I would HIGHLY recommend!!!

Just finishing up building my house and had an issue with a brand new door that wouldn't stay closed. Called them up for a simple adjustment. When they showed up, not only did they do the door adjustment, but they even replaced a panel in the door that had damage that I didn't even know about.After dealing with this house build and all the stress of that, it was a nice relief to have a company come in that cares about the quality of their product along with the delivery of said product. The guys on-site were super professional and friendly. Definitely recommend!

I have used their services twice now, both emergencies trying to get to work and my garage door wouldn’t go up. They had incredible response times, are very pleasant to work with, were helpful and explained everything to me, had excellent communication, and very reasonable prices. I will never choose to use another garage door service! Highly highly recommend Lifetime Door!

Great place, awesome staff, and most of all nothing but best of the best for installation techs! And they offer products even if don't go with there in house installers. Wish you many more lifetimes to keep giving us great work and products. Merry Christmas Lifetime 🎄!

We had a house built and had an issue with our door that was still under warranty. We also had John/Jon as our tech like the review below. We had the same experience as them. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and also didn't mind me asking questions and hanging out while they he did his work. He went way above and beyond what he was there for to make sure everything was set right, lubricated, and working smoothly before he left. To be real honest, he was by far and away the best tech we have had from any of the contractors used with our new house. Highly recommend asking for him if you call LTDC.
