How Often Should a Garage Door Be Maintained?
Garage door manufacturers generally recommend routine inspection and maintenance at least once a year to help keep the door operating safely, smoothly, and reliably. Your garage door contains numerous moving parts that experience wear every time the door opens and closes, making regular inspection and lubrication an important part of preventive maintenance.
Why Is Annual Garage Door Maintenance Important?
Regular garage door maintenance can help extend the useful life of your garage door and its moving components while reducing unnecessary wear and friction. Proper lubrication of rollers, hinges, bearings, springs, and other appropriate moving parts helps reduce friction, minimize noise, and promote smoother operation.
Annual maintenance also provides an opportunity to identify worn rollers, loose hardware, spring or cable concerns, balance problems, and other developing issues before they become larger repairs.
Can Lubricating a Garage Door Make It Quieter?
Yes. Proper lubrication can help reduce garage door noise by decreasing friction between moving components. A properly maintained garage door will generally operate more smoothly and quietly than a system with dry or worn moving parts.
However, lubrication won’t correct damaged or improperly adjusted components. Excessive squeaking, grinding, popping, or other unusual noises may indicate that the garage door should be professionally inspected.
