Garage Door Maintenance

Routine observation can help you notice developing garage door problems before they become larger failures. Maintenance does not require adjusting high-tension spring hardware yourself.

Watch and listen

Notice changes in movement, vibration, balance and sound. A door that becomes crooked, jerky or much louder deserves attention.

Keep the operating area clear

Keep tracks and the area around the safety sensors free of obvious debris and objects. Do not use lubricant as a substitute for correcting damaged or misaligned hardware.

Know the DIY boundary

Do not loosen spring hardware, bottom brackets or lift cables. Those components can be under substantial tension.
