Woodlands TX garage door expert reveals how to fix loose garage door chains

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Woodlands, Texas, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 24, 2012 -- Garage door chains enable the doors to operate on the push of a button. Occasionally, they become loose making it impossible for the doors to function.

Woodlands, Texas garage door specialist, Lone Star Overhead Doors (http://www.garagedoorwoodlands.com) says that loose garage door chains are easy to fix with the right tools and knowledge.

Joe King, owner of Lone Star Garage Doors of Woodlands TX said that it is common for garage door chains to become loose and need tightening.

“A garage door is something almost every home has and it is common to need some type of garage door repair at one time or another. Sometimes the chain that opens and closes the garage door can become loose,” he said this week.

“You may find that it is just creating an annoying sound. You may also find that a loose garage door chain has less power to open and close your garage door. As long as you have some simple home improvement tools, you should be able to fix this problem yourself. Getting the correct tightness in your garage door chain is not very difficult, and you should be able to complete the project within a few short hours,” King added.

The garage door expert said It is important to make sure that the chain is just loose and not broken or damaged.

“You want confirm that it is just loose, not damaged or broken. This is important. To check for a loose chain, first observe the door as it opens and closes to make sure that there is not an obvious problem with the garage door itself. If you hear noises such as creaks or groins or the chain is slapping, this could indicate a problem with the chain drive system. If that is the case, then you will need the assistance of a professional garage door repair service,” King said.

He said that if there is any doubt about the garage door chain, it should be replaced.

“If in doubt about the stability of the chain, replace it completely. After you are sure that a loose chain is the only problem, then you can begin to repair it,” he said.

“On the garage door opener there will be a place where the two chain ends meet. One side has a bolt and two nuts. Loosen the two nuts then run the one on the right side toward the right slightly, tighten the nut on the left to pull everything toward the nut on the right. This will tighten the chain, repeat if the chain is still too loose. There should be a little slack in the chain when correctly tightened,” King said.
