Do you have any idea how dangerous
it is to have a broken garage door at home? Having one is like inviting thieves
and burglars in your homes. It is the single easiest way for them to break in.
And just like that, you have put yourself and your family in danger.
A faulty garage door will need
immediate garage door repair. However, not every problem will require the
service of the professionals. While there are problems that will definitely
need their expertise, you first have to focus on making sure that problems
don’t get worse and there’s one way you can do that.
The one best way to prevent costly
garage door repair is through lubricating. Do you notice a weird sound when you
open and close the doors? This may just mean that the garage door hinges, track
and metal rollers need lubrication. Garage door hinges, tracks and metal
rollers may accumulate dirt, which will cause rough movement as well as pushing
these parts out of alignment.
Lubricating your garage door is
something you can do alone. You just buy a garage door lubricant from a
hardware store and apply it to all moving parts of your door. Keep in mind that
lubricating the movable parts should be done twice a year.
Apply it on the garage door hinges
and inside of the track. Apply as properly as you can to make sure everything
is covered. A tip to follow is to lubricate when the door is down and start
spraying horizontally on the track. After that, pull up the door and lubricate
the track vertically.
Don’t forget to lubricate the
chains while you are closing the door. To guarantee that the chains are
properly lubricated, open and close the door a couple of times for the
lubricant to spread out.
Garage door repair need not be
costly and problematic. Most of the time, you only need a lubricant at hand to
solve the faulty mechanism. Call it the best preventative maintenance that
won’t burn a hole in your pocket. Proper lubrication of garage door hinges,
track and metal rollers, extend the life of the garage door.
On the other hand, if you are
experiencing far bigger problems than this, you’d know better than to tinker
with the garage door yourself. Call a garage door repair company right away and
let the experts handle it.
