At LI Garage Doors Carle Place we recommend to apply any light weight oil (WD40 or spray oil is easiest) to the moving parts of the garage door - the rollers and hinges - annually as a good preventative maintenance strategy. There are end hinges with rollers, which hold the rollers in the track, as well as center hinges. Lubricate all pivot points to keep the door running smoothly.
Garage door springs should be coated about once every season. Allow the oil to drip down and coat the cables on the sides of the garage door.
While lubricating, you should also check the garage door hardware parts. With repeated use, the hardware on the garage door wil tend to loosen over time. This hardware holds a lot of heavy weight (the door), so if you notice any loose screws, bolts, or nuts, tighten them so this hardware won’t fall out of adjustment.
If you need professional help, remember you can always call LI Garage Doors Carle Place at (516) 847-4891 and we'll be more than glad to send out one of our highly-skilled technicians you way.
