Garage Door Garage Door Safety Inspections Kyle, TX
Homeowners across Kyle and the surrounding area call us for garage door safety inspections because we know Kyle. The common drivers locally are moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and corroded springs and cables in the humid air — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Because Kyle has hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year, the doors here age differently than inland or coastal homes elsewhere. The usual culprits are salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware — exactly what our techs come prepared for.
We've fixed thousands of doors around Hays County, and the pattern holds in Kyle: moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and corroded springs and cables in the humid air. None of it should leave you without a working garage for more than a day.
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.
