A working rule: a visual once over twice a year, and a professional tune up when the door gets loud, slow, or uneven. Check monthly that the auto reverse works (the door should reverse when it meets a roll of paper towels on the floor) and that the sensors reverse it when the beam breaks. In cold climates, do the twice yearly check in fall before the cold sets springs up to fail, and in spring after the salt season has had its way with the bottom panel and cables.
