A garage door tune-up from Charles & Sons Garage Door Service covers every mechanical and safety element of your door system in a single visit. Our technicians inspect and lubricate springs, cables, rollers, hinges, and tracks; test and adjust opener force limits and auto-reverse sensitivity; check weather seals for gaps; and tighten all hardware that has vibrated loose over time. Most homeowners are surprised how much quieter and lighter their door feels after a professional tune-up.
Safety is the centerpiece of every inspection. We test the photoelectric sensor alignment and the mechanical auto-reverse feature using the current industry standard—a 2x4 board placed flat under the door. If either safety system fails to respond correctly, we diagnose and correct the problem immediately. We also verify that the manual emergency release cord operates freely in case of a power outage.
Annual tune-ups are especially valuable in Chicago, where harsh winters cause lubricants to thicken, metal parts to contract, and springs to work harder against the cold. Investing in preventive maintenance once a year consistently reduces the frequency and cost of emergency repair calls.

Common Questions
How often should I get a garage door tune-up?
We recommend a professional tune-up once a year for most residential doors. Doors used very frequently—such as those on homes with multiple drivers or doors accessed more than eight to ten times daily—benefit from a tune-up every six months.
What lubricant should I use between professional tune-ups?
Use a lithium-based or silicone spray lubricant on springs, hinges, rollers, and tracks. Avoid WD-40 as a primary lubricant—it's a solvent and will dry out metal parts quickly. Our technician will point out exactly which components need lubrication during the tune-up visit.
