Spring Garage Door Maintenance: Keep Your Door in Top Shape!
Spring is the perfect time for a garage door tune-up! After months of winter wear, your garage door may need some attention to keep it running smoothly and safely. Regular maintenance can extend its lifespan, prevent costly repairs, and ensure reliable operation.
Spring Garage Door Maintenance Checklist
🔹 Inspect the Springs & Cables – Look for signs of wear or rust. If your springs seem loose or damaged, call a professional—never attempt to repair them yourself.
🔹 Lubricate Moving Parts – Apply a silicone-based lubricant to rollers, hinges, and tracks to prevent squeaking and improve movement.
🔹 Check the Weather Stripping – Cold weather can crack or harden the bottom seal. Replace it to keep out moisture, pests, and drafts.
🔹 Test the Auto-Reverse Feature – Place a small object in the door’s path and close it. If the door doesn’t reverse, your safety sensors need attention.
🔹 Tighten Hardware – Vibration from daily use can loosen bolts and brackets. Tightening them helps prevent misalignment and wear.
