Maintaining & Operating Your Garage Door
How often should I service my garage door?

How often should weatherstrip and bottom seals be replaced?
- Vinyl seals typically shrink or dry-rot after five- ten years and should be replaced when they are no longer flexible and sealing the door.
What’s the average lifespan of a garage door?
- This largely depends on the type of garage door. A quality door should last at least (20 – 30) years or longer. The springs will need to be replaced, based on use, but on average, every ten to fifteen years.
