We love a good DIY spirit—but when it comes to garage doors, not every fix is safe or simple. Here are three quick fixes you can try at home, and three situations where you should call in the experts at Tiktak Garage Repair.
DIY Fixes You Can Try:
- Lubricate the rollers and hinges – A little silicone spray can silence that squeaky door.
- Check the sensors – Misaligned sensors often cause doors to stop closing. Realign and wipe them off.
- Replace remote batteries – It sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how often this solves the issue!
When to Call Tiktak:
- Broken springs – These are under high tension and can be very dangerous to replace yourself.
- Cables off the track – Messing with cables can lead to serious injury or more costly repairs.
- Door won’t open or close at all – This may involve complex electrical or mechanical issues.
When in doubt, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Tiktak Garage Repair is just a phone call away for all your garage door needs—DIY not required.
