Performing regular tune-ups and annual inspections protects your investment and ensures whisper-quiet, reliable garage door operation year-round.
Monthly Visual & Operational Checks
- Listen and observe: Watch for jerky movements, squeaking hinges, or grinding sounds.
- Test safety sensors: Ensure infrared photoelectric eye sensors trigger reverse movement when an object blocks the beam.
- Test auto-reverse: Place a block of wood under the door path to ensure it reverses upon contact.
Lubrication & Track Upkeep
Apply silicone-based lubricant to metal rollers, hinges, and springs every six months. Never apply grease directly inside the tracks, as it collects dust and grit.
