Should I replace the garage doors when I need new motors?

Garage door motors are not meant to do any hard work. It is merely there to guide the door up and down. The garage door parts are responsible for the heavy lifting and as long as the garage door is balanced and the parts are working at their optimal function, the garage door motor will incur little wear and tear . However, over time, the door parts start to weaken, the tracks may collect debris, or the homeowner does not maintain the door's parts, and so now the door is not functioning well and loses its balance. To make up for the lack of function, the motor starts to work harder causing it to wear out faster. 

So do you have to replace the doors? We recommend it if your door is old, has not been maintained, is not balanced, or too heavy for the motors you will be installing.
