In these tough economic times, maintenance and refurbishment makes far more sense than replacement.
Most improvements or refurbishments on houses and gardens end up
costing far more than was originally expected. By trying to do as much
of the work yourself within your capabilities is going to help at times
like these.
Garage doors for example are items that
if working properly are marvellous and can add to a properties
aesthetics and value. We all take for granted the opening and closing of
the garage door on a day to day basis, usually with very little though
as to any routine maintenance!
So imagine the horror when the cables, rollers spindles, springs or even the garage door handle breaks and you are left unable to gain access to your car, motorcycle, freezer or garden equipment!
An old garage door can look shabby and make the whole property look less
desirable especially when it comes to selling a property. A well looked
after garage door in good decorative order is all part of the external
appeal of a house. Routine maintenance of oiling all moving parts can
prolong the life of any garage door, especially if near to the coast.

The cables and cones or even the garage springs are the main components on garage doors
that do tend to need replacing first usually due to wear and tear or
damage, if fitted correctly and with routine maintenance there is no
reason the running parts should not last average 20 years or more!!
The cables and springs can often be easily and cost effectively replaced.
