Common Questions
Garage Door Maintenance FAQs
We recommend professional service at least once a year. Preventative maintenance identifies worn bearings and frayed cables before they trigger costly emergency breakdowns.
Never use WD-40 or heavy grease on garage doors; WD-40 is a solvent that strips factory lubricants, and grease attracts abrasive dust. Always use dedicated non-tacky garage door lubricant.
When springs are properly balanced and rollers glide freely, the motor exerts only 10-15 lbs of effort to move a 250 lb door. Poor maintenance forces the motor to fight resistance, causing burnt gears and premature motor death.
