Naturally, the repair details will have to focus on the damages that affect these two components. Repairing a Garage door The first thing that you need to remember is that the secret of the garage door's mechanism lies with the spring. Your overhead garage door, regardless of whether it swings up or it rolls up in section, has a spring tension that operates it. A metal track was installed on the garage walls and these tracks provide the path of the garage door's movements. The spring's task is to provide the mechanical power that the door needs in order to move up. Garage door malfunctions are probably one of the frustrations that a home owner experiences. When the door cricks, jams or worse, just fails to move at all, do not get so easily frustrated because the tricks of repairs are really not that difficult.

These metal tracks are usually held in place by metal brackets. You have to inspect whether the bolts or screws that holding these brackets are loosed. Tighten them up if they are and proceed with the next task. While inside the garage, make a close examination of the metal track's path. See if it does not have any bumps or crags that can prevent the door from moving smoothly. If you have seen that there are indeed dents, you can flatten them out by pounding them with a hammer or a mallet. A block of wood usually helps a lot if you deem you need the extra force. There are times when the tracks cannot be fixed by these efforts alone because of heavy damage. In such cases, it's better to replace them totally to prevent a waste of effort and time. After smoothening out the dents, the next thing that you need to check is the alignment of these tracks. If they are even slightly misaligned, properly put them to position immediately. You can do this by loosening the screw then tap the tracks to alignment. Make sure that you screw the bolts tight right after you've done the correction. There are also times when the problem is caused by hardened grime or grease. This can be easily remedied by a heavy duty household cleaner. You have to wipe the rollers clean and dry to ensure that the presence of dirt is totally eliminated. In the case of stubborn hardened grime, you can use a scraper to scrape the dirt off.

Inspect them all for loosed ones and tighten them. You can also check the hinges that hold the sections of the garage door together. Replace the damaged ones immediately. Servicing the hinges may also mean checking the cracks around it. Fill the gap with wood filler (if wooden) and wait for it to dry. Replace the hinge once it completely dried out.
