Common Garage Panel Lift Door Problems
The panel lift garage door, also known as a sectional garage door, is a popular and versatile choice. Comprising multiple horizontal panels that are hinged together, this type of garage door smoothly operates on vertical tracks, rising vertically and then horizontally along the ceiling. The sectional design allows the door to maximise space and is particularly suitable for properties with limited driveway space or those seeking an aesthetically pleasing and secure solution.
The most common issues that occur with this type of door includes:
Misalignment
Over time, the panels of a sectional door can become misaligned, leading to difficulty in smooth operation and potential jamming.
Worn/Damaged Rollers
The rollers that allow the door to move along the tracks can wear out or become damaged, causing the door to move unevenly or make grinding noises.
Broken Springs
The springs that assist in lifting the heavy door can break, causing the door to become difficult to open or close.
Faulty Garage Opener
Issues with the garage door opener, such as motor malfunctions or sensor problems, can prevent the door from opening or closing properly.
Damaged Panels
Accidents or impacts can cause damage to individual panels, affecting the overall appearance and functionality of the door.
Worn Weather Stripping
The weather stripping around the door's edges can degrade over time, leading to drafts, moisture infiltration, and reduced energy efficiency.
Rusty or Bent Tracks
The tracks that guide the door's movement can become rusted or bent, hindering smooth operation and causing the door to get stuck.
Worn/Broken Cables
The cables that support the weight of the sectional door can wear out or snap due to prolonged usage. When cables are compromised, the door may become unbalanced or get stuck.
Lack of Maintenance
Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to a buildup of dirt, debris, and rust, exacerbating other issues and reducing the door's lifespan.
