Garage Door Maintenance Basic Tip
Although do-it-yourselfers can handle many minor repairs, a qualified garage-door service technician should handle the more complicated tasks. The springs and related hardware are under high tension and can cause severe injury if handled improperly.
The moving parts of a garage door require periodic lubrication. Use an aerosol spray lubricant and wand to clean and lubricate all these moving pieces:
Combination hinge and rollers: Apply lubricant to the roller and the hinge to which the roller is attached (at either side of the door, between each pair of panels). Use lubricant sparingly; too much attracts dirt that eventually will gum up the works.
Hinges in the field or center of the door panels: The hinges that hold the center of the door panels together don’t have a roller. Apply lubricant to these hinges and then operate the door several times to distribute it evenly.
Lock mechanism on the door: Spray lubricant into the keyhole and work the key several times to distribute it evenly. Lubricate the pair of locking latches at each side of a manual door.
If you need further assistance, don't forget you can always rely on LI Garage Doors Manhasset. We'll be more than willing to send out one of our highly-skilled service technicians your way.
Call (516) 828-1301 anytime day or night. Our dispatchers are standing by assist you 24/7.
