Tips for Maintaining Your Garage Door’s Warranty

Your home’s garage door is most likely the primary entry to your home, the first line of home security and an improvement to your daily functions and energy efficiency. Having a garage door warranty is essential and can protect homeowners from installation defects that could later cause property damage or personal injury.

Clopay® offers a one-year installation warranty, covering garage door replacement from one of their Authorized Dealers or Master Authorized Dealers. With an Authorized Dealer, Clopay is guaranteeing work completed by skilled, knowledgeable, honest and capable technicians. This warranty begins the day the installation was completed and is not applicable to new construction.

Having a garage door warranty is great assurance for homeowners to know they always have dependable repair or replacement services for the first year. However, voiding your warranty could mean paying out of pocket for replacement expenses that would normally be covered.

So the question is, how can you maintain your garage door warranty? Here are some good places to start:

• Your Clopay warranty will not cover damage related to or resulting from alterations or attachments to the automatic opener or photo eye sensor. They also won’t cover damage resulting from improper garage door use, like operations beyond the rated capacity or other abuses by anyone other than the Authorized Dealer.
• The warranty will be void if you decide to have your garage door installed by anyone but an Authorized Clopay Dealer.
• Your warranty will also be void if the installation is performed without using the supplied installation hardware or failure to properly install the opener reinforcement.

If you’re ever unsure about what is covered under your warranty or want additional information, reach out to your Authorized Clopay Dealers at Best Overhead Door, LLC. Also, to ensure you’re guaranteed warranty coverage, don’t forget to register your door through Clopay.
