Garage Door Noise: When to call for Service
Most homeowners are unaware the hinges and spring(s) need to be lubricated every 3-6 months. You can use and teflon based to do this. Some popular lubricants are Super Lube or Tri-Flow. Both lubricants are available on amazon. Lodi Garage Doors and More sells our own proprietary garage door lubricant.
When lubricating your door, you’ll want to spray all your hinges and the spring above the door. After that run the garage door up and down a few times. You should notice a difference on the third open and close. Try not to spray the black rollers . It is okay to get the lubricant on the metal stem of the roller going through the hinge.
