You get to use your garage door frequently, and hence it requires regular maintenance to prevent it from deteriorating over time. When you properly care for your garage, it will prevent unnecessary rust, noise, and even accidents in extreme conditions.
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO CARE FOR YOUR GARAGE DOOR PROPERLY:
Lubricate the rollers, hinges, and other moving parts: The purpose of frequent lubrication is to reduce stress and wear-and-tear in these parts and ensure their longevity. Make use of a quality spray lubricant on hinges, extension-spring openers, and rollers. However, ensure that you do not make use of any lubricants or grease on your belt-drive opener.
Listen and watch: The best way to identify any faults in your garage door is by paying attention. Watch how your garage door moves and sounds when it is in operation. Pay attention to any jerky or wobbly movements or any strange sounds and squeaks that sound out of place. Also, look closely at the directions of the cables, springs, and pulleys in your garage door to ensure they are in their right position.
Tighten all bolts and screws: Because the parts in your garage door are constantly in motion, there is a tendency for them to loosen up with time. This is why it is important to check all nuts, screws, fasteners, and brackets, keeping your garage’s door tracks in place. You can make use of a socket wrench to carry out this task.
Maintain the surface of your garage door: Caring for the appearance of your garage door is just as important as caring for its intrinsic parts. Clean the surface of your garage door with warm water, mild-action soap, and a soft cloth. Ensure you do not make use of harsh substances when cleaning your garage door.
