Mechanical
- Spring condition, rust check & balance test
- Balance adjustment (winding) as needed
- Cables: fraying, tension, drum seating
- Rollers: wear, bearing play, stem fit
- Track alignment, spacing & bracket torque
- Every hinge and fastener tightened
- Bottom seal & weatherstripping condition
Opener & safety
- Drive (chain/belt) tension and wear
- Trolley, rail and gear inspection
- Travel limits set to the actual floor
- Force settings calibrated
- Photo-eye alignment & response test
- Pressure-reverse test (2×4 test)
- Remote, keypad & wall button check
Full System Lubrication
Springs, hinge knuckles, roller stems, end-bearing plates and the opener rail's contact points get garage-door-grade silicone/lithium lubricant. Tracks are cleaned, not greased — grease in a Las Vegas track collects dust and becomes grinding paste.
Why It Pays for Itself
- An unbalanced door is an opener-killer. Catching spring fatigue early is the difference between a spring adjustment and a spring + opener gear job.
- Loose hardware compounds. One loose hinge shifts load to its neighbors — vibration loosens them, and the door starts racking.
- Safety systems drift silently. Nobody notices force settings creeping up until the reverse test fails. We test it so you don't find out the hard way.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a tune-up include?
The full checklist on this page: lubrication of springs, hinges, bearings and roller stems; torque check on every accessible fastener; spring balance test and adjustment; cable, drum, roller and track inspection; weather seal check; opener force and travel-limit adjustment; and both safety-reverse tests (photo eye and pressure). You get a verbal report of anything wearing but not yet failed.
How often should I get one?
Annually for most homes. Doors that cycle many times a day (home business, big family, dog on a schedule) benefit from every six months. Las Vegas heat and dust age lubricant and seals faster than the national-brochure advice assumes.
Is a tune-up worth it on a newer door?
Yes — arguably most valuable then. Builder-installed doors are frequently set up fast and never balanced precisely; a first-year tune-up corrects force settings and balance while everything is young, which extends the life of the spring and opener you already paid for.
Will you try to upsell me during a tune-up?
We'll tell you what we found, with the worn part in your hand if it's removable — and the difference between 'replace today,' 'budget for this year' and 'watch it.' Written quote if you want the work, no pressure if you don't. That honesty is the entire reason tune-up customers become lifetime customers.
