Garage Door Maintenance Schedule

Looking for fast and reliable garage door maintenance? Anytime Garage Door offers same-day service, free estimates, ​​discounts, and upfront pricing. Our expert technicians provide thorough inspections and tune-ups to keep your garage door running safely, quietly, and efficiently.

A regular garage door maintenance schedule is one of the simplest ways to keep your system running safely and avoid unexpected repairs. Your garage door is one of the hardest working systems in your home, opening and closing thousands of times each year.  

Over time, this constant movement puts wear on springs, cables, bearings, and rollers. With garage door preventative maintenance, you can catch small issues early, prevent breakdowns, and extend the life of your door and opener.

How Often Do You Need Garage Door Maintenance?

The right maintenance frequency depends on how often you use your garage door. Each opening and closing counts as one “cycle.” Most doors are rated for about 10,000 cycles, which equals roughly one to two uses per day for five years. If your household uses the garage as a main entry point, opening it several times daily, your system will need more frequent service.

We generally recommend scheduling garage door maintenance service once per year for average use, or every six months for high-use systems. Keeping a consistent garage door maintenance schedule ensures your door stays balanced, lubricated, and safe to operate.
