It really depends on how often the garage door is used and how well it's maintained.

A general rule of thumb is to have it serviced every 6 months, but it's best to consult with a professional to get a more accurate estimate.

One of the most important things for garage door maintenance is keeping the tracks and rollers clean. If they get too dirty or clogged, it can cause the door to malfunction or even break. So make sure to give them a good cleaning every now and then.

And if you notice any strange noises or see that the door isn't opening/closing properly, be sure to have it checked out by a professional right away.

Garage doors can be dangerous if not properly maintained!

There are a few things you'll want to consider when selecting a garage door opener.

The most important factors are the weight of your door and the type of motor.

 You'll also want to make sure the opener is compatible with your door's system. The weight of your door is important because you'll need an opener with enough power to lift it. You can find this information on the garage door opener's specifications sheet.

The type of motor is also important – choose an AC motor if you have an insulated door, or a DC motor for a non-insulated door.

In addition, make sure the opener is compatible with your garage door's system by checking the manufacturer's list of approved openers.

Finally, think about what cool, extra features *you* want! Modern garage door openers can have advanced features such as WIFI, battery back up, LED lighting, cameras, keypads, and remotes.

It sounds like your garage door sensors might be out of alignment. To fix this, you'll need to adjust the alignment of the sensors. Here's how to do it:

1. Open your garage door and locate the sensor on each side of the door. There are often two screws on top that you can loosen to adjust the sensor's alignment.

2. Carefully loosen each screw until you can move the sensor into better alignment. Be sure to tighten the screws back up once you've adjusted the sensor's position.

3. Test your garage door to see if it now opens and closes correctly. If not, repeat these steps until it does.

There are a few ways that you can open a stuck garage door from the outside.

One way is to use a wire hanger. Straighten out the hanger and insert it into the crack between the garage door and the ground. Try to move the door up and down with the hanger. If it doesn't move, you can try to pry it open with the hanger.

Another way to open a stuck garage door is to use a tennis ball. Place the tennis ball on top of the garage door and hit it with a hammer. The force of the impact will cause the tennis ball to bounce off and either push or pull the door open.

Finally, you can try using a piece of wood as a lever. Pry the wood between the garage door and ground, which should open up a gap for you to access the emergency release.

It depends on the type of spring and how often it is used. If a garage door spring is being used every day, it might need to be replaced every year or two. However, if it's only being used once a week, it might last for five or six years.

The best way to extend the life of a garage door spring is to keep it lubricated. A little bit of WD-40 or motor oil go a long way in preventing corrosion and metal fatigue.
