How do I lubricate my garage door?

There are 5 basic steps required to maintain your garage door.

Garage Door Maintenance:

  1. Garage door should be fully closed before maintenance begins
  2. WD-40 is only recommended to clean components prior to lubricating and should not be used as a stand-alone solution for noise.
  3. Use a White Lithium Grease or Silicone Spray for rollers & bearings. Lube all steel rollers and tracks to allow door to come down smoother and prevent binding/skipping.
  4. Use a Silicone Spray or any approved lubricant for garage doors for all hardware and moving parts.
    1. Spray all hinges, torsion spring at top, cable pulleys and chain drive to the opener.
    2. Prevent over-spraying by holding a piece of cardboard behind each component as you spray.
  5. Open & close your garage door a couple times to allow the lubrication to spread evenly

Tip: Maintenance should be performed at least every 4-6 months.
