  2. Your garage door is considered the largest moving part of your home. It is used several times a day, at any given hour, and any season. Therefore, it’s very important to take preventive maintenance measures, to ensure that it will last a long time.

  3. Best preventive maintenance care tips you can follow:

  4. Looking and listening • Observing your garage door in action every time you use it. • Make sure that it is moving smoothly and not jerking in places. • Observe if it operates silently or if it makes grinding noises. • Ensure that both sides of the garage door – springs, pulleys, and cables – are symmetrical.

  5. Tightening up the hardware • The average garage door moves up and down several times a day. • It generates a lot of movement and vibration which can cause the hardware to become loose.

  6. Weather seals installation • Test the balance of the garage door • If your garage door is unbalanced, the opener will have to work harder to open it, which will reduce the life of your garage door opener. • The spring may be improperly balanced, if this is the case. It’s best to leave the adjustment of the springs with garage door repair professionals

  7. Inspecting and replacing the rollers • Rollers need to be inspected twice a year and be replaced every seven years or so. If your rollers are worn out or are have chipped, it needs replacement right away.

  8. Resetting the garage door opener • Replacing the weather-stripping • If your rubber weather seal strip on the bottom of your door is already brittle or cracked, it’s best to replace it as soon as possible. *NOTE: Unless you have this kind of garage door spare parts available, you can purchase it from a garage door company or an online store like www.gateandgaragedoorspareparts.com.au.

  9. Lubricating the moving parts • Your garage door parts needs to be lubricated regularly for seamless operation through the years. • Lithium grease is best use for the opener’s chain or screw, and a spray lubricant for the overhead springs.
