Maintaining Your Sacramento Garage Door

By Tammy Saphire


Keeping your Sacramento Garage Door in good condition will provide you with a smooth operating door and a safe one as well. Remembering to clean your garage door when you wash your car, for instance, will benefit you year round. Salts from the roads can build up, if you live in an area that uses salt on the highways you should remove it from your door as it is corrosive.

The most important components of your garage door are the springs. They power the door and do about 95 per cent of the work in opening and closing it if you have an overhead style door. If it is hard to open the door than most probably the springs are out of adjustment.

With repeated use the hardware on the door will loosen, tighten loose bolts, screws, and nuts making sure everything is securely tightened. By having everything tight you will avoid the door becoming out of alignment.

Coat the springs once a season with a lightweight oil and allow it to coat the cables by dripping down the sides of the door. Lubricate the roller and hinges at least once a year, you can use WD-40 or any light spray oil.

Make sure the garage door opener is in good working order. Check the door lock for proper alignment. The safety-reverse sensors should have an unobstructed line to work properly, remove anything in the way and check that it is aligned for proper operation.

After all of the basic hardware checks it is important to remember to keep the door painted and the weatherstripping in good repair. Paint both the inside and outside of the door to prevent it from warping and peeling from moisture getting into the wood.
