What's the Best Garage Door Maintenance Schedule?
Routine maintenance prevents most unexpected repairs. Here's the schedule we give every Pittsboro, NC customer.
Monthly
Visually inspect cables for fraying. Listen for new noises. Test the auto-reverse by placing a 2x4 flat under the door — it should reverse on contact when contact is made.
Quarterly
Tighten all hardware bolts (except red-painted spring bolts). Wipe photo-eye sensor lenses. Test the manual emergency release with door closed.
Twice a Year
Lubricate hinges, rollers, springs and bearings with white lithium grease. Wipe excess. Inspect weatherstripping for cracks.
Yearly (Pro Tune-Up)
A professional tune-up in Pittsboro, NC includes a balance test, spring tension adjustment, opener force calibration, and a full safety inspection.
Mark your calendar — every spring and fall lubrication doubles spring life.
