FAQs
How Do I Insulate My Garage Door?
An insulated garage door can be an essential part of your home that provides safety and warmth for your garage. At Banko, we offer a broad selection of insulated garage doors, which our team can professionally install for you.
Rain and Other Debris Are Coming Through My Garage Door. What Should I Do?
If rain and other debris are coming through your garage door, an expert likely needs to reseal your door because of potential wear and tear on the weather seal that happens in the Florida climate.
How Do You Know You Might Need a Garage Door Alignment?
If your door only closes halfway, stops and goes back up or the lights on the opener are flashing, your garage door is most likely out of alignment. Call the professionals at Banko Overhead Doors to come out for a quick tune-up.
Why Will My Garage Door Not Open or Close While the Motor’s Running?
If your garage door opener runs but the door doesn’t move, the emergency release cord may have been pulled. If the door opens and closes manually, simply push the red emergency release clip toward the back of the garage until it snaps back into place to reconnect the opener. If this doesn’t work, Banko can come out for a service call and get you back in working order.
Can I Save Money by Using My Old Door’s Original Tracks and Springs for a New Door?
Note that new garage doors can’t use old tracks and springs due to safety. Still, you can get warranty on your new parts, so if they break or malfunction somehow, they’ll likely be covered.
Why Do I Need Regular Service on My Home Garage Door and Opener?
To ensure your garage door remains safe and operational for years to come, we recommend getting an annual maintenance check from a trained technician. Don’t try to attempt to fix or tune up your own garage door. An expert will be able to make the necessary repairs to your garage door without putting themselves at risk of an accident or injury, which is possible when you attempt to fix a garage door without the right training and knowledge.
Garage Door Installation: DIY or DI Don’t?
We never recommend trying to install a garage door on your own. This is a complicated process that should be left to a trained technician. When you choose a trusted company like Banko, you receive warranties on your new garage parts, expert installers and quality products and customer service from our team, all of which make installation a breeze, and something you don’t have to worry about completing yourself.
Can I Replace Garage Door Springs Myself?
If a garage door spring breaks, we ask that you don’t “spring” into action to attempt to replace them yourself. Garage door springs are under high tension and can cause serious damage to you and your garage door when handled improperly.
Let a professional complete this project for you by figuring out what size of replacement springs your garage door requires and replacing them for you. If you have a garage that won’t open, it is time to get on the phone with Banko.
Should I Get an Insulated Door?
The answer is yes for a variety of reasons. We recommend selecting an insulated door to protect your storage, keep your living spaces warm in colder months and provide extra durability with unpredictable weather conditions. An insulated door is also energy efficient and reduces noise.
Do I Need a Permit to Install a New Garage Door in Florida?
Yes, you need a permit to install a new garage door in Florida. At Banko, we include a permit with the purchase of our garage doors. You need a permit when replacing a garage door to ensure your new door is hurricane rated and the door’s installation process goes smoothly.
Should I Choose Hurricane Kits or a Hurricane-Rated Garage Door?
If safety is the goal, we don’t recommend buying a kit to brace your door. If you buy a brace, no one tests the door and the springs and track won’t be able to handle the added weight on the door. You want the best protection from Mother Nature and something the insurance will cover in the event of a major storm or damage — a hurricane-rated door.
Does Banko Stock Hurricane-Rated Garage Doors?
Florida building code requires hurricane-rated garage doors, so every door we stock is WindCode rated. These protective and stylish garage doors can add an extra safety feature to your home.
My Garage Door Remote Isn’t Working. What Could Be Wrong?
Garage door remotes have four main reasons for malfunctioning — a low battery, a locked remote feature, a need for a remote reprogram or an issue with the garage door receiver. Before calling a professional, check your batteries first and switch them out for new ones. When the wall-mounted button works but the remote does not, you may need to reprogram your remote. If all else fails, you can reach out to us at 877.902.2656 for guidance.

How Do I Clear My Garage Door Opener’s Memory?

How Do I Replace a Garage Door Opener Battery?
Replace the battery by unplugging your opener and taking off the light lens. Pull the current battery out after unscrewing the battery compartment and disconnecting the red and black wires.

Plug in the garage door opener and enjoy smooth opening and closing functions from a brand-new battery.
How Do I Disconnect My Garage Door From the Garage Door Opener?

How Long Does a Garage Door Opener Last?
While a garage door typically lasts up to 20 years with proper maintenance and care, you can expect your garage door opener to last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. Take note of any strange noises from the opener — this may be a sign you need a new opener installation. If your garage opener has been in your garage since 1993, we recommend replacing this security feature to ensure your garage is secure.
