In a fascinating discussion on the Check A Pro Radio Show, show host Jim, also known as Check A Pro Joe, converses with Adam Greer from EZ Lift Garage Doors. They delve into the evolution of garage doors - from durable but simple structures to sophisticated modern designs equipped with advanced technology.

Adam highlights the regulatory and safety challenges of these old models. He mentions a critical factor - safety sensors, which started being a requirement approximately in 1994. If a garage door opener lacks these, it is out of code and needs updating. Adam explains the dichotomy that old models, although built to last, lack the enhanced technology and safety features of their modern counterparts. He provides an example of sounds, noting that older openers may work like a horse but also sound like one! He stresses the need for replacing old garage door openers not just due to imminent break down risks, but also to upgrade to the modern conveniences and increased value that new ones offer. Drawing attention to the technological advancements like cameras, wi-fi, and innovative products like MyQ, the duo convey how modern garage door openers provide additional security and convenience. They enable homeowners to monitor their garages even from remote locations, with notifications and video feeds for any activity detected. Emphasizing the role of such advanced openers in assuring safety and peace of mind, Adam emphasizes the importance of changing old openers at the right time. He assures users that professional help is readily available for interpreting and troubleshooting any problems using the detailed reports generated by modern openers.

Join Check A Pro Joe as he sits down with Adam Greer from EZ Lift Garage Doors and More on the Check A Pro Radio Show. This enlightening episode centers around one of the most critical elements of the garage door - the garage door rollers. Adam emphasized the critical role of rollers in the function of any garage door. However, not all rollers are made equal. The episode elucidates the primary differences and features of different roller types - from a lower end that drags to a high-end nylon roller, likened to the Cadillac of garage door rollers. Adam categorically pointed out that your choice of a roller can significantly impact your garage door's performance, longevity, and efficiency. The episode didn't just halt on identifying roller types; it also dived into the significant details you need to know about each roller type. Adam comparatively explained the life span, maintenance requirements, effects on your garage doors, and so on between different rollers. But that's not half all it offers. The episode also featured some practical tips for homeowners regarding garage door maintenance. One standout advice from Adam is that swapping out a basic roller for a premium one, even in a default builder-grade door, can dramatically increase your door's longevity and decrease the noise it generates.

In this episode of the Check A Pro Radio Show, host Joe speaks with Adam Greer from EZ Lift Garage Doors and More, a reputable provider and garage door specialist. They dive into the importance of garage door sensors, their functionality, mandated existence since 1994 and how they help prevent unnecessary accidents or damage. Adam explains that the prime function of these sensors is to save lives. They are installed approximately six inches off the floor and produce a safety beam. As such, when an obstacle like a pet, child or object crosses the beam's path, the garage door sensor communicates to the opener to stop, preventing potential harm or damage. Erroneously enough, some people tend to modify the installation of these sensors, aiming to circumvent their triggering. However, these modifications can lead to dangerous situations and are strongly discouraged. Moreover, if a professional from Easy Lift Garage Doors and More encounters a sensor that's out of code, they are obligated to bring it up to code before servicing the door or opener. This emphasizes how critical these sensors are to our safety. During the discussion, the duo also brings up the question of who mandates the installation of these sensors. Apparently, an agency (whose name eludes Adam for a moment) is behind the rule. Although not a governmental body, the agency's stance is crucial when it comes to insurance coverage should an accident occur. On a lighter note, Joe shares an orbital-related issue he experiences periodically during the year when the sunrays hitting his sensors triggers the reversal of his garage door mechanism. Adam confirms this occurrence and suggests some remedies. He mentions there are even aftermarket products available to help counter this issue. In conclusion, Adam emphasizes the need for these sensors not just for protection of children, but general household safety. Therefore, remember that your garage door sensors are crucial, a well-maintained sensor can go a long way in ensuring the safety of your home.

In this episode of the Check a Pro Radio Show, Joe Pro discusses the effect of weather on garage doors with Adam Greer, a garage door professional from EZ Lift Garage Doors. Considering the fluctuating weather in the Greater Houston area, Joe asked how various weather conditions may affect the operation of garage doors, and how should homeowners properly maintain their garage doors. Adam reveals that there shouldn't be any prime concerns regarding doors in different weather if they are properly installed and lubricated. However, it's also essential to note that incorrect lubricants or an ill-done installation can cause the door to function abnormally, causing potential damage. The lubricant stiffness may increase in cold weather and loosen in hot weather, causing a false operation. Furthermore, both heat and coldness can lead to the shrinking and swelling of wood, which in turn, may affect your garage door. Thus, Adam recommends a minimum of once and ideally twice-a-year garage door inspection and maintenance service. The use of correct material, lubricants, rollers, and regular upkeep play a pivotal role in the door's health. He cautions against the use of inappropriate substances like axle grease or WD-40 on the door parts (spring, hinges, rollers, etc.) and advises the use of non-stick, silicon-free lubricants. This episode brings to light the importance of regular maintenance and correct installation for a long-lasting and properly functioning garage door, irrespective of the weather conditions.
