Meteorological Spring made its glorious arrival this past Monday, and Daylight Saving Time will kick in next Sunday the 14th. What kind of winter has it been around your house?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With garage doors getting a workout all winter in the “car protection” mode, it is possible that you may find a few pieces of hardware (screws, nuts, bolts) strewn on the front half of your garage floor. After picking them up to avoid a flat tire, have a look around on the door to see where they came from. If you can’t make out from where, how is the garage door functioning lately? Run a cycle on the door and watch. If you observe buckling or strange noises while in travel, you may need a low-involvement repair. Call Dan at DDM and get confidence, with knowledgeable advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This advice may necessitate a repair, or simply a lubrication<\/a>. But if you get it addressed now, you can save trouble and expense down the road. Have a GREAT spring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Warning<\/strong>: As always, be careful around garage doors and their parts, and call a professional for the work if you have any doubt about your ability to service them safely).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
