What Stratford homeowners should check on their garage door this month
Start with the basics: test your auto-reverse safety feature by placing a 2x4 on the ground—your door should reverse immediately. Check the tracks for debris near Stratford’s coastal salt air, which can accelerate rust. Lubricate hinges and rollers with a silicone-based spray to prevent squeaks in the summer heat. If your opener’s remote feels sluggish, it might need a battery or sensor adjustment. Need help? Book a repair—our team serves Stratford, Trumbull, and all nearby towns.
