As Warren’s summer heat peaks, your garage door works overtime. Small cracks or misaligned tracks today can turn into costly repairs tomorrow. We’re reminding local homeowners to run this quick August check before the next heatwave hits.
Why August is the perfect time to inspect your Warren garage door
Warren’s summer humidity and heat expand metal parts and dry out rubber seals, making August the ideal time to catch wear before it worsens. A quick visual check of your door’s tracks, cables, and weather stripping can prevent emergency repairs during the busy fall season. If you spot rust on the tracks or hear grinding noises when opening, call us at Anthony & Jonathan Garage Door's Repairs Inc for a free estimate. We serve Warren and nearby towns like Barrington and Swansea—see all areas we cover.
What Warren homeowners should check right now
Start by testing your door’s balance: disconnect the opener and lift the door halfway—if it doesn’t stay put, your springs may need adjustment. Next, inspect the cables for fraying and the rollers for cracks, especially near the bottom where wear is common. Don’t forget to check the auto-reverse feature by placing a piece of wood on the ground; if the door doesn’t stop and reverse, your safety sensors need attention.
