Maintenance Maintenance Yearly Whilst your opener does not require any periodic maintenance, the door that it is fitted to, does. Your garage door is a large, heavy, moving object and should be tested regularly to ensure it is in good condition. A poorly maintained door could cause fatal or serious injuries or serious damage to property. Automatic Technology suggests you contact your installer to perform an annual door service.
