Nothing else in your home experiences as much wear and tear as your garage door. Think about it. You’ve got a 500 pound door going up and down several times a day, literally thousands of times a year. It’s easy to understand why regular maintenance can help cut down on your garage door cost. All nuts and bolts need to be tightened once or twice per year. The chain or screw needs regular lubrication. You can get a spray on oil to make it easier. This will make it easier for the door to go up and down, extending the life of both the chain and the opener.
You’ll also want to periodically test the balance of your door. Disengage the door from the opener by pulling on the rope. Lower the door half way. A properly balanced door will stay in this position without any help. If it starts to go down on one side or another, you need to get a professional to balance it. It’s generally the result of too much tension in the springs. Adjusting the springs is a dangerous procedure.
