Avoid Costly Garage Door Repairs With Regular Maintenance

Most people don’t think about maintaining their garage doors. But, as with anything else mechanical, maintenance is a vital aspect of keeping your garage door opener in working order for longer. Generally, garage door maintenance should be done once each year, or before a major seasonal change, as explained in “How To Prevent Seasonal Damage To Your Garage Door” blog post.

Main At-Home Garage Door Maintenance Tips To Follow:

While we don’t advise D.I.Y. garage door repair, it is perfectly safe to maintain your garage door without a certification under your belt. Follow your five senses by listening and noticing how your garage door operates, and apply the following steps to your operating system when necessary.

Listen for unusual sounds like grinding, popping, or banging from your garage door spring, cables, rollers, or tracks.
Make sure there are no signs of rust on your garage door hardware or on the door’s exterior.
Carefully clear away any dirt, dust, or debris surrounding your safety eye sensors and garage door tracks.
If you notice anything missing, broken, or out of place, contact our office immediately.
Always use a silicone-based lubricant that is meant for garage doors and its mechanisms.
Apply garage door lubricant to the parts of your garage door that experience the most friction, or where you suspect grinding noises are coming from. We are happy to demonstrate how to apply garage door lubricant during our maintenance appointment.
Contact DC Garage Door & Services if problems persist.

Can I reverse my noisy garage door with general garage door maintenance?

This may sound far-fetched, but something as simple as ensuring your garage door is regularly maintained could cure a noisy garage door. If your garage door is balanced, this relieves unnecessary strain for your opener’s motor, springs, tracks, and cables. Once we restore your door, we can better identify if wobbly garage door rollers, unbalanced garage door springs, or a burnt out garage door opener motor is the root of the problem.

What is a garage door tune-up?

A garage door tune-up is another name for the overall service your garage door undergoes including testing the balance of your door and lubricating all mechanisms if needed.
