A simple seasonal garage door maintenance routine that prevents most emergency repair calls.
Run the door through a full cycle and watch for jerking, popping, scraping or uneven movement.
Release the opener, lift the door halfway and let go. A balanced door stays put. If it drops or flies up, the springs need adjustment.
Place a 2x4 flat on the floor in the door path - the door must reverse on contact. Then wave an object through the photo-eyes while closing.
A door cycles thousands of times a year. Snug up hinge, bracket and track bolts - do not over-torque.
Use a garage-door-specific lithium or silicone lubricant on rollers, hinges, bearings and springs. Never grease the tracks.
Look for frayed strands, chipped nylon rollers and a cracked bottom seal. Book a professional tune up once a year.
