Garage Door Repair and Service Solution

Garage door maintence tips

Open your garage door and close it again. Look and listen to make sure it’s running smoothly, with no grinding or scraping sounds, and no misalignment or jerky motions. Observe the moving parts, checking to see if any connections or hardware seem loose.

Disconnect the garage door opener. When you’re working on the garage door, it’s important to have it disconnected to prevent injury.

Clean the door. First, use a leaf blower to blast away any bugs, dirt, or debris out of its parts. Follow this with a broom or brush and then a rag, to make sure nothing is left behind. Clean the surfaces of the door by hand, using a low phosphate detergent dissolved in five gallons of water. Never pressure wash your garage door.

If you’ve found any rust on the garage door’s springs or pulleys, see if you can clean it. If it’s truly corroded, consider replacing the rusted parts, to prevent the garage door from having a major malfunction.

Inspect the rollers. This should be done twice a year, and if the rollers are worn, chipped, or cracked, it’s time to have them replaced.

Use a lubricant. Lubricate the opener’s chain or screw with white lithium grease, and use a spray lubricant to coat the springs. Keeping the moving parts of the door well-greased is a simple way to extend the opener’s longevity.

Check the weather stripping. If the rubber seal on the bottom of your door is cracked, brittle, or worn, have it replaced as soon as possible.

Tighten everything. Check out all the brackets and bolts, and tighten them, paying special attention to anything you noticed looking loose when you raised and lowered the door.

Inspect the cables. Look for worn or broken strands, but never try to replace the cables yourself. Instead, call for a professional who has the equipment and experience to safely fix the cables.

Make sure the door is operating safely. Open it manually, half way up. If it doesn’t stay up, you may have a problem. Another smart idea is to perform a test of the auto-reverse safety feature, placing a roll of paper towels in the way of the door, reconnecting the door, and watching to see if it reverses itself before crushing the paper towels. If it doesn’t stop, clean the photo eyes on either side of the door and try again. If there’s still a problem, it needs to be repaired or replaced.
