Garage Door Safety Inspections Leroy, AL
Garage door safety inspections in Leroy, AL is routine work for us. Local failure modes — pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors — are exactly what our trucks are stocked for.
Ask any Leroy tech and they'll tell you the climate decides what fails. A humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity brings intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, year after year.
Run down the service log for Leroy and the same repairs repeat: pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We carry every part needed to close them out in one trip.
Safety inspections are formal, documented evaluations of the entire garage door system — useful for home sales (preempt buyer-inspection negotiations), insurance audits (some carriers require periodic verification), post-incident review (after a near-miss or actual injury), and rental-property compliance. The inspection covers every safety-critical component plus structural items, and produces a signed PDF report that meets the documentation needs of most buyers, insurers, and property managers.
Our standard report covers: UL-325 compliance (photo-eyes present, aligned, and triggering auto-reverse on obstruction test), spring health (visible wear, age, cycle estimate), cable health (fray, corrosion, secure termination), drum and shaft integrity (set-screws tight, drums spooled correctly), opener motor and gear health (audible inspection, force/travel calibration), photo-eye function, manual-release operation, balance verification, and structural items (track alignment, bracket fasteners, panel integrity, hinge condition). Every check is photographed and the report includes the photographs.
Inspections take 60–90 minutes. The signed PDF is emailed within 4 hours of completion. If we find issues, we present a separate flat-rate quote for any repairs — you can address them during the same visit, schedule a return, or share the report with the relevant party (buyer, insurer, etc.) and decide later.
