Garage Door Maintenance: What to Check

Routine maintenance helps keep a garage door operating smoothly and can reveal wear before it leads to a breakdown.

Watch and listen during normal operation

Notice new noises, uneven movement, slow response or a door that does not close normally. Keep the opening and sensor area clear and inspect weather seals for visible damage.

Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions

Cleaning, lubrication and inspection requirements vary by door and opener. Follow the instructions for your specific equipment and ask a technician about any procedure you are unsure of.

Leave adjustments to a professional

Garage door springs, cables and related hardware can be under significant tension. Do not adjust or remove them yourself. A technician can inspect the system, assess its balance, check the opener and recommend worn components for replacement.
