Garages that change hands often

Landlords face a simple choice with an aging garage door: keep it running for the next tenant, or replace it before it becomes a recurring call. Census figures put owner-occupied housing at about 22 percent in New Brunswick, so most garages here belong to rentals, and they take a beating from drivers who don't know the door. We note which parts are near the end of their life so you can plan rather than react.

Between leases is a good time to reset access. We clear stored remotes, set fresh keypad codes and confirm the photo eyes reverse the door when the beam is broken. Federal rules have required that kind of entrapment protection on openers built since 1993, so a much older opener without working sensors is worth replacing, especially in a house full of tenants.

Replacing a door on an older home

Older detached garages often still carry their original wood or thin steel doors. Once panels split, a section separates or the frame no longer holds the track straight, a replacement door usually beats a string of patches. Opening width, ceiling clearance and space beside the track all get measured before we talk styles.

Smaller faults get fixed in place. Worn nylon rollers, a cracked end hinge or a sagging strut can be replaced in a single visit without touching the rest of the door, and that's what we'll recommend when the door itself is sound.
