Tune-Ups & Safety in the garage, step by step
The single most useful safety test takes a minute: disconnect the opener, lift the door halfway by hand and let go. A balanced door stays put. A door that drops or flies up is running on springs that are out of adjustment or failing, and the opener has been covering for them.
Track gets cleaned, rollers get lubricated. Grease in the track collects grit and makes the door louder and harder to move, which is the opposite of what people expect.

FAQ
Questions we hear at the garage about tune-ups & safety
What does a garage door tune-up include?
Balancing the door so the springs carry its weight rather than the opener, tightening the hardware, lubricating the rollers, hinges and springs, checking the cables for fraying, and testing the safety reverse and the photo eyes. It takes under an hour and it is what catches a worn spring or a fraying cable before it breaks.
How do I test my garage door’s safety reverse?
Put a piece of wood flat on the floor under the door and close it. The door should reverse when it touches the wood; if it does not, the opener force is set too high or the sensor has failed, and the door can crush what is under it. Wave a foot across the photo eyes as it closes; it should reverse immediately. Both tests are worth doing every few months.
