Garage Door Safety Inspections Orlando, FL
Local matters for garage door safety inspections. In Orlando and neighboring Belle Isle, Conway, Pine Castle, and Edgewood, the failures we address most are rusted track hardware and seized rollers, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Orlando's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware, doors here face frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, storm-season wind that stresses panels and bottom seals, and damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
The short list of what goes wrong on Orlando garage doors: rusted track hardware and seized rollers, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, and storm-driven debris and water in the tracks. Whatever's on yours, the diagnosis is free on most repairs and the quote is in writing.
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.
