What a Tempe garage door puts up with
Tempe filled in early. It is boxed in by neighboring cities, so there has been little room to build new single-family homes for a long time, and a big share of the houses date from the fifties through the seventies. Those ranch homes often have single-car garages, some converted into extra rooms, plus carports. Where the garage is still in use, the door may be an older wood or thin steel model on springs that have been through decades of summers. Our guide to sagging garage door panels covers a common problem on older doors.
South Tempe came later, much of it in the eighties, with two-car garages and tile roofs. Even those doors are now old enough that original openers are near the end of their run. An opener that hums but does not lift, or a door that starts and reverses for no clear reason, is often a sign of age. Our page on an opener that is humming but not moving explains the usual causes.
With a large university in the middle of town, plenty of Tempe homes change hands or turn over between renters and owners. A door that was nobody's job for years can carry a lot of hidden wear. New owners often find dry rollers, tired springs and safety sensors knocked out of line. Landlords who own a few homes around town face the same thing on a bigger scale, with doors that only get attention once they stop working. A yearly look at each door is simpler than waiting for a tenant to call about one that will not open.
Then there is the heat. Pavement and rooftops hold the warmth long after sunset in the middle of the Valley, so summer nights stay warm and the garage rarely cools down. Rubber seals bake, grease runs thin and the opener's electronics sit in that heat month after month. Monsoon gusts kick up dust from open lots and dry washes. If a spring looks gapped or a cable looks frayed, stop using the door and call for help. That hardware is wound tight and is not something to touch.

Most Tempe homes are older. Does that change what the tune-up does?
The tune-up is the same full inspection on every home, and it matters more on an older door. It checks the springs and cables, rollers and hinges, lubricates all moving parts, tests the door's balance and runs the opener's safety test. On a door that has been through decades of Tempe summers, that is where hidden wear tends to turn up.
How do I request a visit as a member?
Members can ask for a visit on the DoorGuard site or by calling (877) 257-6027. You can use it for your yearly tune-up or for a repair, and members get priority scheduling on repairs. Timing depends on availability in Tempe at the time you call.
Our door is loud enough to wake people up. Can that be fixed?
Often, yes. Most noise comes from dry hinges and rollers, worn rollers, loose hardware or an opener that is working too hard. The yearly tune-up lubricates the moving parts and checks each of those. If a part needs repair, you see the price before any work begins, and members get savings on repair labor.
