Worry-Free
Garage Door Maintenance
in Berkley

Common maintenance issues we address:

Sensor Alignment and Cleaning

If your garage door won’t close all the way, starts to reverse mid-close, or flashes its opener lights, the issue is likely with the photo-eye safety sensors. These sensors are located near the base of the door on either side and are designed to prevent accidents by detecting obstructions in the door’s path.

In berkley, where snow, slush, and road salt are common, debris can easily accumulate on the sensor lens, blocking the infrared beam. Even a small smudge can cause your system to behave unpredictably. Additionally, vibrations from daily use or slight settling of the garage structure can knock sensors out of alignment.

At Super Door Garage Door Service, we carefully inspect, clean, and realign your sensors so they’re perfectly positioned and operating reliably. We also check for damaged wiring or brackets, ensuring long-term performance and peace of mind.

Roller Lubrication and Replacement

Does your garage door screech, grind, or wobble when opening or closing? That’s often a sign of dry or worn rollers, which can cause strain on the opener and reduce the lifespan of your entire system. In colder climates like berkley, MI, the freezing temperatures can cause metal rollers to contract and stiffen, increasing friction and noise.

We recommend bi-annual lubrication using high-quality silicone-based lubricants. At Super Door, we don’t just lubricate and leave—we also inspect each roller for signs of wear, cracking, or flat spots. If necessary, we’ll replace them with durable nylon or steel rollers that offer smoother and quieter operation, especially during Michigan’s harsh winters.

Loose or Missing Hardware

Every time your garage door opens and closes, it vibrates slightly. Over weeks and months, these vibrations can loosen bolts, screws, and brackets throughout the system—especially around the hinges, tracks, and roller stems. Left unchecked, loose hardware can lead to misaligned tracks, door imbalance, or even premature wear on the opener motor.

During our maintenance checks, Super Door’s technicians tighten every bolt and screw to manufacturer torque specs. We also replace missing or stripped hardware with industry-grade fasteners to maintain the structural integrity of your system. This simple but essential step can prevent major repairs down the line.

Weatherstripping and Bottom Seal Wear

If you’ve noticed cold air seeping into your garage or puddles forming near the door, the problem could be worn-out weatherstripping or a degraded bottom seal. These rubber or vinyl components are your garage’s first defense against rain, snow, pests, and temperature loss.

In berkley, where winters can be brutal, cracked or flattened seals can lead to freezing garage interiors and skyrocketing energy bills. Super Door provides custom-fit weatherstripping solutions, including:

• Bottom seals (for uneven floors or cracked concrete)
• Side and top weatherstripping (to seal door frame gaps)
• Threshold seals (for added moisture protection)

We use heavy-duty materials that hold up to Michigan weather and extend the life of your garage door system.

Remote and Keypad Troubleshooting

Few things are more frustrating than a garage door remote that works intermittently or not at all. Sometimes, the fix is as simple as replacing batteries—but other times, the issue lies deeper. Interference from nearby electronics, outdated remote programming, or even worn-out keypads can disrupt your access.

At Super Door, we troubleshoot remotes and keypads by:

• Testing signal strength and replacing batteries
• Reprogramming remotes and syncing with new openers
• Inspecting keypad circuits and membrane wear
• Replacing faulty wiring or worn buttons

We also advise on upgrading to smart garage technology, allowing berkley homeowners to control and monitor their garage door with a smartphone app.
