Your Garage Door Health Check

SERVICING

We recommend that your Dominator Garage Door and Opener be serviced by an experienced technician within the first 12 months after installation and then every two years, or earlier if required. The garage door is a very large moving part in your home and operating at its optimum level is important for safety and longevity. In fact, if correct maintenance and servicing are not kept up your warranty may be void.

Please do not attempt to carry out your own repairs.

When you think about how often it is used and what it protects, the garage door performs a significant role in keeping your family and assets safe. Don’t overlook the importance of regular care.

Contact your local Dominator dealer for more advice or you can book a service or repair here. 

REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS

We recommend that you check the operation of your door at least every three to six months - more regularly for doors in extreme environments and those in frequent use. The effort required to manually open the door and close the door should be roughly equal. If your garage door has an automatic opener, make sure to put it in manual mode before testing the door.

Unexposed areas of the garage door can be prone to a build-up of contaminants that can lead to corrosion. To keep the door well maintained, wash it every few weeks and more often if you are located close to the sea or geothermal areas. Use clean water and a cloth or soft-bristle brush, paying particular attention to the curtain face adjacent to the door head, and inside over the top of a roller door. Timber finishes should be cleaned and maintained according to the timber finish manufacturer’s recommendations. Please do not attempt to wash your garage door opener!

A well-maintained garage door not only looks stunning, but it will also serve you longer and provide better protection for your family.
