1. Your garage door is more than 10 years old

Garage doors will need replacement eventually, however, it’s probably a good idea to replace your garage door every 10 years, even with the best-made doors, with the constant wear and tears on doors, including protection from the elements, it’s a good idea to get a door replaced every 10 years so that you don’t begin to run into constant maintenance hassles in the long run and keep that curb appeal without the need for constant garage door repairs.

2. You’ve had to call for repairs more than once in the past year

If you constantly need to call a repairman to service your door, you could be wasting money by not just simply replacing your door.

With age comes a whole host of mechanical problems that can begin to accrue with a door such as signs of damage, auxiliary damage, sensors, and other cables and wires becoming faded and no longer able to open and close, you can replace them, by the time you’re starting to see one problem, you will be starting to notice other problems, that is why a full door replacement is often a great choice after a decade.

3. The door isn’t functioning as smoothly as it used to

If you’re noticing jutting or you’re waking up the neighbors whenever you use the door, it might also be time to replace it, typically when a door isn’t functioning smoothly it is because of the tracks that are right beside them for opening and closing your door, replacing tracks can be a tricky business as they must be made for the specific door frame you’re using.

4. You notice that your energy bills have gone up since you installed the door

If you’ve started to notice your electric bill is more than usual, it might be due to a faulty door or, because a door that has been installed that isn’t needed, such as a heavy industrial door for a home garage that isn’t needed.

5. You find yourself constantly making adjustments to the door

If you find yourself constantly having to make adjustments to the door, or you’re finding new things to fix several times a day, it might be time to replace the door entirely, while you can make minor adjustments to the door if you find yourself doing it all the time, the integrity of the door has likely begun to deteriorate and you will soon begin facing more problems..

Constant adjustments can further degrade the integrity of the door, its frame, and tracks and can lead to danger further down the road or can render your door completely inoperable, no longer working with garage door openers.
