Does a garage door at a Dibba holiday home need special care when the house is empty?

Yes. A door left unused for weeks can seize, and sand, damp and heat build up. Before leaving, clean the tracks, close the door fully, disconnect the remote if you wish, and switch off the opener. A battery left in an opener can also drain.

When you return, open the door by hand first to see that it moves, then power it back and test the sensors. Check the bottom seal for insects and damp. Ask someone to run the door now and then if the home stays empty a long time.
