Recommended Tune-Up Frequency
We recommend the following tune-up schedule:
Annual Tune-Up
For typical residential use (3-5 cycles per day), an annual tune-up is usually sufficient. Schedule your service in spring or fall for optimal performance year-round.
Bi-Annual Tune-Up
For heavy residential use (6-10 cycles per day) or light commercial applications, we recommend tune-ups twice per year - spring and fall.
Quarterly Tune-Up
For commercial properties or high-traffic applications, quarterly tune-ups ensure maximum reliability and longevity.
Signs Your Door Needs a Tune-Up
Schedule a tune-up if you notice:
- Squeaking, grinding, or scraping noises
- Slow or jerky operation
- Door doesn't open or close smoothly
- Visible sagging when partially open
- It's been more than a year since last service
- Inconsistent operation
- Unusual vibrations during operation
- Door struggles to stay open
Tune-Up vs. Repair vs. Maintenance
Understanding the difference:
Tune-Up
Comprehensive service that includes inspection, lubrication, adjustment, and calibration to optimize performance. Preventive in nature.
Maintenance
Maintenance is similar to a tune-up but may focus more on basic upkeep. Both are preventive services.
Repair
Repair service fixes specific problems or broken components. Reactive rather than preventive.
