The Australian Garage Door Association and most manufacturers
recommend that a garage door is serviced at least once a year by a
factory-trained garage door technician.
If your garage door is starting to sound noisy, appears to be
struggling or hasn’t been serviced for a while then the chances are
it’s time for a service. Remember, just like the car it protects,
the garage door is a large mechanical product and needs ongoing care
and maintenance. We recommend you have it serviced at least once
every 12 months.
