Garage Door Garage Door Safety Inspections Brookings, OR
For garage door safety inspections in Brookings, experience with Curry County pays off: Curry County is part of Oregon. We know what the area's doors need.
Weather matters more than most Brookings homeowners expect. Local conditions — a cool, wet maritime climate — abundant rainfall, frequent fog, and damp, salt-tinged onshore wind much of the year — drive standing damp that corrodes the lowest hardware first, near-constant damp that swells and warps wood doors, and year-round moisture that never lets metal fully dry, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Oregon's cool, wet Pacific coast.
Across Curry County, the garage door problems we see again and again are moss-fouled, stiff rollers on shaded doors, rotted bottom seals and brackets, moisture-faulted openers and sensors, and fastener rot loosening the door assembly. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.
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.
