Garage Door Care for Your Home
Dislosure: This is a sponsored post. I do believe it is important information due to the harm and money it could cost if you are not aware.
Did you know….
June is Garage Door Safety Month
For this quick giveaway, I’m going to be asking readers to watch the quick video here at GarageDoorCare.com that offers homeowners a quick primer about their garage door and tips to keep the door operating safely and efficiently.
The garage door is the largest and heaviest moving object in a home, and a falling garage door can cause serious injuries or even death. Don’t let yourself or a loved one be a victim of one.
This video will introduce homeowners how to keep those garage doors in working order, such as semi-annual lubrication. It also points out the areas best left to the pros, and directs consumers to GarageDoorCare.com to find a garage door service professional before a problem occurs. With a few tips on little maintenance, you can do.
- Professional garage door pros can save you time and money (which we all know is important) when the time comes for garage door service.
- GarageDoorCare.com will send it’s subscribers twice-a-year reminders that it’s time to lubricate the garage door. Don’t forget to sign up if you are like me and tend to forget until the garage door falls off its hinge and smacks you on the top of the head. Oh and yes, that actually happened to me about 13 years ago.
- Learn how and where to lubricate the door, rollers and hinges to help keep the door in good working order and potentially save a service call. It also shows several easy tests and steps that can be taken to keep doors in peak operating condition.
- Learn how to keep children safe from injuries a garage door can do.
Sometimes we shouldn’t expect to fix everything ourselves and unless you are a professional the bigger stuff really should be done by those that specialize in it. Things wear and tear, eventually they will snap if not properly done it can end up hurting you, call an IDA professional.
