What are some common problems with garage doors?

Garage doors, like any mechanical system, can encounter a variety of common problems that may affect their operation. One frequent issue is a malfunctioning opener, which can result from old age, faulty wiring, or broken components. This may prevent the door from opening or closing properly. Another issue is misalignment, where the door may become off track due to wear and tear or a buildup of dirt and debris in the tracks. This can cause the door to bind or make unusual noises during operation. Additionally, worn-out springs are a common concern, as they can cause the door to become heavy and difficult to lift. Sensors that are misaligned, dirty, or damaged can also lead to problems by preventing the door from closing. Another typical issue involves remote control malfunctions, which can stem from dead batteries or interference from other devices. Regular maintenance and inspection can help alleviate many of these issues before they become serious.
