Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Stanley: what to expect
Why test the force settings?
A powered door that closes too hard can hurt someone. Testing the force limits and reversal is one of the most important parts of a service.
How often should a door be serviced?
For a powered door used every day, once a year is sensible. A lightly used manual door can go longer, though we would not leave it more than two years. Commercial doors that open many times a day need more frequent visits.
Which options are available in Stanley?

- Written reportWhat was done and what is wearing.
- Safety testForce, reversal, photocells and release.
- Annual serviceOne visit a year.
