Proactive care to extend the life of your garage door in Calgary
Your garage door is one of the hardest-working systems in your home — yet it’s often overlooked until something breaks. In Calgary’s changing climate, regular maintenance isn’t just smart — it’s essential. With some simple upkeep, you can avoid costly emergency repairs and keep your garage door running smoothly year-round.
Whether you're using a torsion spring system, automatic opener, or older manual setup, here’s how to stay ahead of problems.
Friction is your garage door’s worst enemy. Every few months, check the rollers, hinges, springs, and tracks for wear and tear. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to:
Tip: Don’t use grease — it can attract dirt and gum up the system.
Calgary's wind and dust can build up debris in the tracks, causing your door to jump or stall. Wipe the inside of the tracks with a damp cloth and check for dents. At the same time, inspect the rubber weather seal at the bottom of the door — if it’s cracked or brittle, it’s time to replace it to keep out drafts and water.
A well-balanced door takes less strain on the opener. Disconnect the opener (usually a pull cord) and lift the door halfway. It should stay in place. If it falls or springs up, the springs may be unbalanced — and that’s a job for the pros.
Also, test your auto-reverse safety system by placing a small object (like a 2x4) under the door. It should reverse when it touches. If not, get it checked immediately.
Grinding, squeaking, or rattling noises can signal early issues with rollers, opener gears, or alignment. A quiet garage door is usually a healthy one — unusual sounds are your early warning system. Catching them early can save hundreds in repairs.
Even with regular DIY checks, some issues require a trained technician. Schedule a garage door tune-up at least once a year — especially before winter. A pro will:

I signed up thinking I might use it once or twice a year, but Happy has already helped me twice this month — first for a dead battery and then when my garage door cable snapped. Both times, they showed up fast, handled everything professionally, and I didn’t pay any call-out charges thanks to the membership. It’s honestly a no-brainer if you own a home or car.

Happy came through when I needed them most — my front door lock jammed on a weekend, and I couldn’t get inside. Within an hour, their locksmith had it fixed. I didn’t expect the level of service to be this good for a membership plan, but they’ve definitely earned my trust. I’m glad I found them.
