How to
Step 1: Inspect the Door
Before starting any maintenance work, it’s essential to thoroughly inspect your garage door. Look for any visible damages, loose parts, or signs of wear and tear. Pay close attention to the springs, cables, rollers, and hinges.
Step 2: Lubricate Moving Parts
Regular lubrication helps to keep your garage door functioning smoothly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the rollers, hinges, and tracks. Be sure to avoid using grease or oil, as they can attract dirt and cause more harm than good.
Step 3: Check and Adjust the Balance
An unbalanced garage door can put unnecessary strain on the opener and lead to premature wear. To check the balance, disconnect the opener and manually lift the door halfway. If it stays in place, it’s properly balanced. If not, you may need to adjust the tension on the springs or call a professional for assistance.
Step 4: Test Safety Features
Garage doors come with various safety features, such as photo-eye sensors and auto-reverse mechanisms. Regularly test these features to ensure they are functioning correctly. Place an object in the door’s path and check if it reverses immediately. If not, contact a garage door specialist to inspect and repair the safety features.
Step 5: Schedule Professional Maintenance
While regular DIY maintenance is crucial, it’s also important to schedule professional maintenance at least once a year. A skilled technician from Samuel Garage Door Maintenance can perform a thorough inspection, identify any underlying issues, and provide preventive maintenance to keep your garage door in optimal condition.
