Look And Listen
The biggest, and most important, preventive maintenance task a
homeowner can do is to just look and listen.
Simply observe your door in action every time you use it.
Is it moving smoothly or is it jerky in places?
Does it operate silently or does it make grinding noises?
Inspect Your Door s ’Hardware
It is important to routinely inspect your door’s hardware, for loose bolts and nuts, which can loosen each and every time
your door opens and closes.
Tighten all roller brackets and the bolts that hold the rails to the support brackets to ensure the door’s smooth operation.
Test The Door s Balance’
An unbalanced garage door opener in orange county
can cause the opener to work harder thus limiting its lifespan.
With the door closed, disconnect the opener by pulling the release handle and then manually open
the door about halfway.
If the door doesn’t stay open, it’s improperly balanced, and will
need to be adjusted.
Replace The Weatherstripping
If the weatherstripping on the bottom of your door is
brittle or cracked;
Replace it right away to keep the elements, and insects out
of your house.
To install, simply cut to size, and insert into the grooves with the wide angle of the
flange inside the door.
Lubricate The Moving Parts
The less friction you have when the door opens, the less work the opener has to do, and the
longer its motor will last.
Use quality lithium grease on the opener’s chain, and a spray lubricant, to coat the overhead
springs.
Avoid getting any grease or lubricant into the door’s
tracks.
Test The Auto-Reverse Safety Feature
In order to test your door’s auto-reverse safety feature,
place a 2” by 4” on the ground, towards the middle of the door.
When the door touches that object, it should automatically
stop, and reverse direction.
If it doesn’t, then you should contact a local service provider,
to provide prompt repair.
Clean The Tracks
It’s a good idea to make sure the tracks on either side of the
door are free from debris.
You can use an old toothbrush to dislodge any buildup of
grease, grime or dirt.
Lightly spray disc cleaner into the tracks then thoroughly wipe out the tracks with a
clean rag to remove both the cleaner and debris.
Groom Your Garage Door
To maintain your home’s curb appeal, it’s important that the garage door – which comprises more than 30% of your home’s
curb appeal, looks its best.
To rid it of grit and grime, you can wash steel and aluminum
door surfaces with a mild household detergent, then
rinse with water.
