8. How often should I service my garage door?
An annual garage door tune-up helps prevent breakdowns, extends its lifespan, and ensures smooth operation year-round.
Tips on Garage Door Maintenance
Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs and extend your garage door’s lifespan. Lubricate moving parts like rollers and hinges with a high-quality silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
Check your garage door balance every few months. Disconnect the opener and manually lift the door halfway—if it stays in place, you’re good. If not, the springs may need adjustment.
Also, keep an eye on the weather seal at the bottom of the door. If it’s cracked or worn out, replace it to keep out drafts, dirt, and pests.
