Some Tips on Maintenance of Your Garage Door

With proper maintenance, your garage door can serve you for much longer than the time you have to fix and replace it. Here are a few easy tips that will ensure your garage door remains functional throughout its whole lifespan:

Regular Inspection: Check the parts of the door regularly: Once every three months or so, run a visual inspection on your garage door’s springs, cables, rollers, and tracks. Look for rust, tarry marks, or any strange noises that might herald some form of problem.

Lubricate Moving Parts: Garage doors have many moving parts that would appreciate being lubricated from time to time. Apply a high-grade garage door lubricant on the rollers, hinges, and springs to reduce friction and keep things running smoothly. Grease should not be used because it attracts dust and dirt.

Check the Balancing of the Door: The garage door will be safe and not exert strain on the opener if balanced. To check if the door is balanced, unplug the door from the opener and lift it manually. It is balanced if the door stays open without resistance; otherwise, you need a professional to adjust it.

Clean the Tracks: Dust and debris inside the tracks cause it to misalign or stick. Use a damp cloth to clean the tracks, and ensure that they are not bumpy. Do not spray lubricant on the tracks because it may make dust and debris build on it.

Check Weather Stripping: Weather stripping at the bottom of the garage door prevents moisture, debris, and pests. If it’s cracked or damaged, just replace it to maintain the insulation in your garage.

Check and Tighten Hardware: In time, the nuts and bolts, and other hardware attached may loosen due to regular usage. Check and tighten the parts from time to time to keep the door stable and safe.

Test Safety Features: The auto-reverse is one of the safety features a garage door possesses. Observe how it works and check for sensors that are working and not by placing an obstacle in front of the opening to test whether it reverse automatically, if not that’s time for a tune up.

Examine Cables and Springs with Care: You should never attempt to repair springs and cables by yourself, but you may notice signs of wear and fraying on the cables and springs. In that case, you can be prepared for a problem and call a professional to work on the high-tension parts safely if you have observed anything unusual.
