Warm Weather Garage Door Maintenance Tips

  • Even if the winter wasnt a particularly harsh
    one, there is still a transitional period as the
    months warm up, and this is a good time to
    perform a few, simple maintenance checks on your
    garage door. Some basic checks you can easily get
    done yourself, whereas others may require a visit
    from a professional, either way, its important
    that you follow these to prevent you from having
    to carry out costly repairs or pay for a
    replacement door later in the year.
  • A quick but effective basic clean and external
    inspection
  • Cast your eye over your garage door and look for
    dust and grime that may have built up over the
    winter period. Cleaning it with plain old soap
    and water should do the job, and then you can
    shift your focus to other areas that may require
    some maintenance.

  • While youre looking at the overall appearance of
    your garage door, you might want to consider
    getting it re-painted or re-sealed in areas that
    might have gotten worn down, which will help to
    prevent water from seeping in and causing damage
    during summer rains.
  • A thorough inspection of the moving components
  • You can also have a good look at the moving
    components of your garage door while youre
    cleaning it, but pay special attention to the
    hinges, cables and track bolts to ensure that
    theyre all tight. The springs are the final
    vital component that youll need to inspect, and
    youre looking for signs of rust, corrosion, or
    anything else that doesnt look quite right.

  • For a more detailed inspection of these parts of
    your door, call in the professionals to ensure
    that any damage gets repaired before it causes a
    major problem.
  • Re-lubrication
  • It pays to re-lubricate the tracks of your garage
    and the rollers at least twice a year, but once
    annually, as a minimum. When lubricating, always
    use a lithium or silicone based one, and try not
    to use too much, otherwise youll just find that
    dirt, dust and grime simply stick to it and cause
    a build-up of debris that could prevent the door
    from opening and closing properly.

  • Checking the insulation and weather stripping
  • Whether you use your garage for storing items in
    or not, its important that your garage is
    properly insulated, or youll soon notice an
    increase in your monthly bills. Check the seals
    and weather stripping to ensure that they havent
    worn down, and if they have, youll need to get
    them re-sealed as soon as possible. Since the
    insulation itself is inside the panels of your
    garage door, you may need the professionals to
    come and check this aspect, and while theyre
    there, they can give the whole door a maintenance
    assessment.

  • To check whether your garage door is in tip top
    condition and will see you through the summer
    months and into winter, reach out to your local,
    trusted garage door supplier who can arrange a
    thorough, maintenance assessment.
