Garage Door Installation Service Tips on How to Lubricate Noisy Doors
Heading home from a long stressful day at work generally reduces your stress levels greatly, that is until you are faced with using your noisy garage door again. The screeching, banging, and groaning is something which will put you right back on edge again, however, that is what garage doors do? Wrong, you would be surprised how often our
team has heard this from our Columbus, OH clients. We tell them once a garage door is properly lubricated then the noise should go away.
Tracks.
Start cleaning your garage door tracks to remove any build-up which could be interfering with your door’s smooth motion. Never lubricate the tracks, just make sure they are clean as this is vital to your garage door’s operation.
Springs.
Spray down your garage torsion springs, these are what lift your garage door on a daily basis. Again, you should only lubricate them enough so they move better, without the lubricant dripping all over the floor.
Hinges.
With steel hinges, you should lubricate them at their pivot points, however, leave plastic ones alone. As plastic will not require any lubrication, as it can actually result in the hinges to break down given enough time.
Rollers.
When you have nylon rollers which make contact with the track, make sure you only lubricate the bearings and try not to get any of the
lubricants on the actual nylon. All-metal rollers will not need as much precision, however, make sure you remove any excess lubricant to stop it from dripping all over your garage floor or car.
Locks.
When your key sticks or the lock, or it is hard to open and close, try using some lubricant on it, make sure you get it into the tumbler and any other moving parts. So if you need a professional
