Fifteen minutes twice a year is the highest return maintenance a Weston homeowner can do. Here is exactly what to touch and what to leave alone.
Use the Right Product
Use a lithium or silicone based garage door lubricant. General purpose penetrating spray is a solvent and a water displacer, not a lubricant. It cleans the old grease out and leaves the part dry within weeks, which is why doors treated with it get louder rather than quieter.
Buy the aerosol with the straw applicator. Precision matters more than volume here.
What To Lubricate
Hinges at the pivot points, roller stems and bearings where the roller is not sealed, the end bearing plates and center bearing on the torsion shaft, the springs themselves with a light even coat, and the lock mechanism if the door has one.
Wipe away the excess. Lubricant that drips collects dust and grit, and grit is an abrasive.
What To Leave Alone
Do not lubricate the tracks. The rollers are meant to roll along a clean dry surface, and grease in the track turns into a paste that pushes rollers out of alignment. Wipe the tracks clean with a rag instead.
Do not spray the photo eye lenses, the belt on a belt drive opener, or the nylon tires of sealed rollers.
Or Let Us Handle It
Our annual tune up covers lubrication, balance, hardware tightening, seal inspection and a full opener safety test.
