Your garage door is probably the largest movable object in your house. Keeping it in good maintenance ultimately comes down to a safety issue, especially if you’ve got children or pets. There are several routine maintenance jobs you can do on your garage door. This will increase the safety as well as minimize expensive garage door repair costs in the future.
Always keep your garage door well lubricated. WD40 isn’t the best for this job. You want a lithium spray or perhaps a silicone spray. Apply liberally to the top part of the chain rail, stems, hinges, metal rollers that come with ball bearings, the arm bar, nubs, and the lock. Don’t worry about the chain rail, the chain, the garage door track, and the spring.
Rather than lubricate the track, you should clean it regularly. Wipe the inside portion of the track with a wet cloth, followed by a dry cloth. WD40 does make a nice solution if there are any sticky areas on the track.
