Q: How often should I get my garage door inspected?
A: Most garage doors have a very long shelf life with very little maintenance but if
your garage door is making unusual sounds or is not performing properly, you should
contact a garage door company immediately for service.

Q: What are some tell-tale signs to look and listen for indicating an eventual
failure?
A: If a garage door is not closing properly and your sensors are in alignment, you
may need to have your garage door serviced.

Q: Can current safety features be installed on my older garage door?
A: No. All new garage door openers installed come with safety sensors which stop
the door from descending in the event there is an object in the way. Some new
garage doors are made "pinch-proof" so little fingers (or big ones too) don't get
caught in between the door panels.

Q: How long does an installation take?
A: Depending on the size and special order of the garage door, most installs can
take about half a day.

Q: What happens to my discarded door?
A: Cal-Western hauls away all old doors as part of the installation package and
they are recycled.
