Quick cure for many garage door problems.
Proper lubrication of your door can
save you any unnecessary repair cost. If you hear unusual noises coming from
your garage door when it is operating, try a spray lubricant like WD-40
or 100% silicone. Pay special attention to directing the spray at the
following door parts:
- Door rollers (these are the wheels that your door rides up and down on in the tracks).
- Door pulleys (there are four round
pulleys - one located at the top front corner of each door track and one
connected to one end of each garage door spring).
- All hinges that allow the door sections (pieces) to bend as it travels in the door tracks.
Many door problems can be eliminated by a
quick application of an aerosol spray lubricant. Please exercise caution
when applying. It is suggested to wear gloves and have adequate room
ventilation when using any of these products. Try to avoid any excess
lubricant from dripping onto your automobile or other valuable
belongings. Please remember, never, never use grease to lubricate a
garage door. It only makes the door operator poorly and it’s down right
messy! :)
Good luck.
