Garage Door Adjustment

Ever had your garage door get stuck halfway when you’re rushing to leave? Or maybe it’s making a loud screech every time it moves? These are classic signs that your garage door needs an adjustment. At 24/7 Garage Doors Inc, we help homeowners in Houston, Katy, Spring, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and nearby areas get their garage doors back on track—literally.

Why Garage Door Adjustment Matters

A garage door is like the front gate to your home. When it’s not balanced right, the door strains the opener, the springs wear out faster, and before you know it, the whole thing can break. I’ve seen doors tilt so badly that homeowners couldn’t even close them. One of our clients in Cypress said their door slammed down unexpectedly because the tension was off. Scary stuff, but preventable with a simple adjustment.

When your door feels heavy, squeaks, or won’t stay open, it’s not just annoying—it’s dangerous. That’s where we come in.

Common Signs You Need a Garage Door Adjustment

Wondering if this is your problem? Here are some easy signs to watch for:

• Door feels heavier than usual – like lifting weights.
• It doesn’t stay in place – it drops or shoots up.
• Uneven gaps at the bottom – one side hits the floor before the other.
• Noisy operation – grinding, screeching, or popping sounds.
• Slow movement – or it jerks up and down.

If you’re nodding yes to any of these, it’s time to call us.

How We Adjust Garage Doors

We’ve fixed thousands of garage doors around Houston. Our process is simple but thorough:

1. Check the balance – we manually test to see if the door stays halfway up.
2. Inspect the tracks – dents or bends can throw the door off.
3. Adjust the springs – this is the tricky part; it takes the right tools and know-how.
4. Fine-tune the cables and opener – to make sure everything moves smoothly.
5. Lubricate and test – no more squeaks, no more jerks.

A garage door adjustment might sound small, but it can save you from a costly spring or opener replacement later.

Can You Adjust a Garage Door Yourself?

A lot of folks ask me this. The truth? You can lube the rollers or tighten some screws, but adjusting springs is a whole different game. Those springs are under massive tension. One wrong move and you could end up in the ER.

If you think it’s a small fix, like the tracks are just dirty, sure—clean them. But for spring tension, call us. It’s safer and quicker.

When to Call Us Right Away

Some garage door issues can wait, but not these:

• The door slams shut instead of closing gently.
• The opener struggles or burns out trying to lift.
• The cables look frayed or loose.
• The springs look stretched or broken.

If you see any of these, don’t wait. It’s better to deal with it now than face a busted door later.

Tips to Keep Your Door Working Longer
