Remote Control Issues You should frequently check that the batteries are still working. If not, replaced them and reprogram the remote. ## 2. Old or Damaged Torsion Springs As the garage door springs have extreme tension and help lift these heavy doors. If the spring snaps suddenly, there is a possibility that this can cause serious injuries, damages, and even causalities. ## 3. Worn or Damaged Rollers Ask a garage door repair pro for service when you identify this issue. The solution will be: Aim to keep your rollers and their tracks free from debris and frequently inspect for wear and tear. ## 4. Worn or Damaged Cables If you find that your cables are torsion or worn out, ask for professional service. You should inspect them regularly. ## 5. Damaged Sections or Panels A new rolling or sectional door will offer more warranty options than replacing damaged sections, though it can be a more economical solution when comparing both. ## 6. Improper Alignment This issue also needs the assistance of a professional to be repaired when you find gaps between the rails or, bent curved metal. **[![Request a Repair](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/167911/bb4b6137-35c6-4554-8397-cdfb73b425ee.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/167911/bb4b6137-35c6-4554-8397-cdfb73b425ee)** ## **Maintenance Plans for Commercial & Industrial Doors** The Overhead Door Company of the Meadowlands & NYC strongly recommends a regularly scheduled [maintenance plan for commercial overhead doors](https://www.overhead-doors.com/overhead-door-blog/preventative-maintenance-program-for-overhead-doors) because they improve operational efficiency, safety, and reliability as our professional technicians will be able to identify the potential problems before they have a chance to occur.  [**![rolling-gate-spring-barrel-rollup-roller-overhead-door-repair-new-york-new-jersey](https://www.overhead-doors.com/hs-fs/hubfs/rolling-gate-spring-barrel-rollup-roller-overhead-door-repair-new-york-new-jersey.jpg?width=400&name=rolling-gate-spring-barrel-rollup-roller-overhead-door-repair-new-york-new-jersey.jpg)**The importance of Regular Maintenance** **](https://www.overhead-doors.com/schedule-service-call) ## Need Some Help?
