Garage Door Maintenance Tips

Extend the life of your door by:
  • Washing your door using a mild detergent and a car brush.
  • Waxing your garage door once a year with car wax.
  • Washing the frame and bottom edge weather-stripping with a multi-purpose vinyl cleaner.
  • Lubricating the weather-stripping every other month using a silicone-based product.
  • Lubricating rollers, hinges, springs, and the tracks with motor oil.
  • Not using petroleum-based lubricants.
Important
Have your garage door professionally inspected once a year. Only qualified installers should adjust the springs, the lower hinges, and the hoisting cables on your garage door.
