What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is an Annual Safety Inspection & Report?
A preventive service that evaluates mechanical, electrical, and safety performance, brings the system into spec, and documents findings:
Mechanical: Springs, cables, drums, bearings, rollers, hinges, tracks, fasteners.
Door geometry: Alignment (plumb/level/toe-in), back-hangs, section integrity, struts.
Opener: Limits/force, rail/trolley, gear/sprocket, logic board indicators, power quality.
Safety: UL 325 photo-eye function and 2×4 floor reversal verification.
Report: Photos, condition ratings (Good/Monitor/Action), next-steps with itemized estimates.
Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors
One accountable team: Inspect → test → tune → document → quote in one visit.
Measured & transparent: We record balance, force readings, part wear, and pass/fail notes with photos.
Lifecycle guidance: Spring cycle-life, roller/hinge wear, and replacement planning—no surprises.
Insurance/HOA friendly: Time-stamped report that’s easy to file and share.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Note any noises, reversals, or sticking you’ve seen recently.
Don’t increase opener force to “push through” issues—this can hide hazards.
Gather any service history (last spring change, panel repair, opener model).
Call our team—we’ll schedule your annual check and customize the report for your needs (home sale, HOA compliance, rental).
Common Scenarios We Handle
Preparing for home sale, insurance review, or rental turnover
HOA/common-area doors requiring documented safety checks
Coastal corrosion degrading cables, hinges, and fasteners
High-cycle households (multi-car, gym/storage access) wearing parts early
Following impact/wind events needing a system-wide check
Intake & Safety
Review concerns; secure the area; verify door can be safely hand-cycled.
Mechanical Survey
Inspect springs (specs/cycle-life), cables/drums, bearings/plates, rollers/hinges, tracks/back-hangs, section/strut integrity; photograph findings.
Balance & Geometry
Check neutral hand-lift; measure reveals; correct minor toe-in/back-hang; recommend struts if needed.
Opener System
Evaluate rail/trolley, gear/sprocket, limits/force, wall control and remotes; check power/surge and Wi-Fi (if applicable).
Safety Tests & Tune
Align/clean photo-eyes; run UL 325 tests (beam interruption + 2×4 reversal); adjust limits/force to spec.
Report, Priorities & Estimate
Deliver photo-rich report with Good / Monitor / Action ratings, timelines, and itemized pricing; review upgrades (nylon rollers, surge, high-cycle springs).
What’s Included
Comprehensive inspection (mechanical, geometry, opener, safety)
Minor tuning (alignment tweaks, fastener torque, targeted lubrication)
Balance check & opener calibration (limits/force)
UL 325 verification (photo-eyes + 2×4 reversal)
Photo-documented report with condition ratings & priorities
Itemized recommendations with clear estimates and timelines
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: 30–60 minutes per residential door/opener.
Key cost drivers: Number of doors/openers, corrosion level, required minor adjustments, add-on tests (high-lift/low-headroom complexity).
Estimate clarity: Transparent pricing for inspection/tune and separate quotes for any recommended repairs or upgrades.
Insurance & Claims Help
Receive a time-stamped report with photos, measurements, and a concise cause/condition narrative—useful after impact, wind, or surge events.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Hidden wear (cables, bearings) can lead to sudden failure
Opener overforce masking friction risks gear/board damage
Out-of-balance doors strain panels, tracks, and hinges
Noncompliance with UL 325 could jeopardize safety and claims
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Spec accuracy: Verify spring wire/ID/length/wind; document cycle-life and replacements.
Alignment: Plumb verticals, level horizontals, precise toe-in; back-hangs set to eliminate chatter.
Hardware quality: Recommend sealed nylon rollers, heavy-duty hinges, and reinforcement struts where warranted.
Power quality: Suggest UL-listed surge protector and dedicated outlet; tidy cord routing.
Coastal OC: Stainless/galv. fasteners; corrosion checks; lubrication suited to marine air.
Compliance: Documented UL 325 pass, opener force within spec, and safety notes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the visit include minor adjustments?
Yes—alignment tweaks, fastener torque, targeted lube, and opener calibration are included. Parts replacements are quoted separately.
How often should I schedule this?
Annually for typical homes; every 6 months for coastal/high-cycle or rental/HOA properties.
Will I get a written report?
Absolutely—a shareable PDF with photos, ratings, and prioritized recommendations.
What if my door fails a safety test?
We’ll correct on the spot if possible (alignment/force). If parts are required, we’ll secure the door and provide same-day quotes.
Can you service multiple doors at once?
Yes—ask about multi-door/HOA pricing and synchronized maintenance plans.
Is this required for home sales?
Not required, but many buyers/agents favor a third-party safety report for peace of mind.
