PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

You’ll receive our 25-Point Safety Inspection at every maintenance visit:

• Door balance
  This ensures the spring(s) are fully functionally.
• Rollers
  Elite Door inspects every roller for signs of wear and tear, or damage.
• Cables
  Cables are inspected for fraying and kinking, which leads to damage.
• Drums
  Drums are looked over unusual defects and cracking.
• Center Bearing
  Inspection for wear and tear or burned out bearings is executed by Elite Door. There are generally 2 types of center bearings; a single piece nylon bearing and a metal housing with actual ball bearings.
• Center Bracket
  Center brackets are inspected for signs of bending and other anomalies.
• End Bearing Plates
  The bearing plates are located at each end of the spring bar mounted outside the drums. The bearings allow the spring bar to turn freely as the door opens and closes. We check to make sure there are no faults.
• Shaft
  We inspect for rust and bending. The spring bar holds the springs and turns as the door opens and closes.
• Hinges
  Hinges are inspected for damage and excessive wear.
• Top Brackets
  Top brackets hold the top roller in place, and meticulously inspected.
• Bottom Brackets
  Bottom brackets are mounted at the bottom of the lower garage door section, they hold the bottom rollers in place. These brackets contribute to the lifting point on the garage door. We inspected for wear, damage and breakage.
• Vertical Tracks
  Bending and damage can occur; we check them to ensure they are up to par.
• Horizontal Track
  We also inspect for bending and damage.
• Jamb Brackets
  Jamb brackets attach the vertical tracks to the frame work on each side of the garage door opening, our Inspection searches for position, bending and other damage.
• Strut
  Struts are added supports for the garage door structure. Generally, garage doors have a strut mounted at the top of the high garage door section. Some garage doors are equipped with multiple struts depending on the weight of the door. Struts may be added if damage requires additional struts for support.
• Weather Seal
  Weather seals are rubber located at the bottom of the garage door. This seal helps prevent wind and windblown objects from entering the garage. We inspected for dry rot and any other damages.
• Section (interior/exterior)
  We check for any dents, tearing in the metal along with any other damage.
• Opener Controls
  Controls are inspected for functioning efficiency.
• Opener Trolley/Carriage
  Inspected for damage and grinding in screw drive openers.
• Safety Eyes
  The safety eyes keep the door from closing if a person or object is in the garage doors path. Safety eyes are inspected for efficiency.
• Motor Gears
  Motor gears are susceptible to wear and tear in belt and chain drive we check the belt and/or chain for proper tension and sign of deterioration.
• Wires
  Visually inspected for any signs of wear and tear or cracking in the wire coating.
• Limits
  We test the limits to ensure the door opens and closes to the proper travel locations.
• Opening/Closing Force
  We also test the force limits to ensure there is proper force being applied to the door during opening and closing.
• Springs
  Finally, we visually inspect the springs for signs of rust and deterioration. We also measure each spring to make sure they are adequate.
