MAINTENANCE
Since
the garage door is a large, moving
object, periodic maintenance along
with following the manufacturer’s
instructions will insure safe and
reliable operation.
|
|
Safety |
Do not allow
anyone near the door when it is in
motion. Keep hands and fingers away
from all parts of the door except
the handle. Do not allow children to
play with, or around the door. |
|
Adjustments |
For your
safety, have any needed adjustments
made by a qualified specialist. The
door springs are under a
considerable amount of tension and
require special tools and knowledge
for accurate and safe servicing.
Have the door inspected by a
professional garage door technician
after any significant impact to the
door. |
|
Oil Drips on
Cars |
Do not over
lubricate; doing so can result in
drops on cars or the concrete floor.
|
|
Waxing |
Paraffin
wax, rubbed on the side jambs, will
help the door operate smoothly. |
|
Opener |
If an
electric door operator is installed,
be sure the door is completely
unlocked and the pull-down rope has
been removed before using the
operator. |
|
Painting |
The garage
door should be repainted when the
home is repainted or more often if
needed to maintain a satisfactory
appearance. |
|
Locking |
If the lock
becomes stiff, a graphite lubricant
will make it work more easily. Do
not use oil on a lock as it will
stiffen in winter and make the lock
difficult to operate.
|
|
Light Visible |
Garage overhead doors cannot be
airtight and typically light will be
visible around the edges and across
the top of the door. Severe weather
conditions may result in some
precipitation entering around the
door. This should be expected. |
LIMITED
WARRANTY
The garage
door should operate smoothly and
with reasonable ease. The door can
become misaligned and require
adjustment, which Tahoe Homes, LLC
will perform one time during the one
year warranty period following the
home closing.
