Prolonging the lifespan of your garage door requires regular maintenance and careful attention to its components.

Here are some essential steps to help extend the lifespan of your garage door:

Regular Inspection: Perform visual inspections of your garage door system, including tracks, springs, cables, and rollers, to identify any signs of wear, damage, or misalignment.

Lubrication: Keep moving parts well-lubricated to reduce friction and wear. Use a silicone-based lubricant to grease rollers, hinges, springs, and tracks regularly.

Tighten Hardware: Periodically check and tighten all bolts, nuts, and screws on your garage door system to ensure they are secure and stable.

Balance and Alignment: Test the balance and alignment of your garage door by disconnecting the opener and manually opening and closing the door. It should move smoothly and stay in place when partially opened.

Weather Stripping Replacement: Inspect and replace weather stripping around the perimeter of your garage door to prevent moisture intrusion and maintain energy efficiency.

Keep It Clean: Regularly clean your garage door and its components to remove dirt, debris, and corrosive substances that can cause damage over time.

Professional Maintenance: Schedule professional maintenance services at least once a year to ensure all components are in good working condition and to address any potential issues promptly.
