A Simple Garage Door Maintenance Checklist

A practical guide from the MS Facility Solutions team.

A few minutes of maintenance each season prevents most breakdowns and extends the life of your door.

Listen and look as the door runs, grinding, jerking, or sagging are early warnings. Lubricate rollers, hinges, and springs with a proper garage-door lubricant. Wipe the photo-eye sensors, and test the auto-reverse safety feature by placing a roll of paper towels in its path.

Once a year, have a professional check spring tension, cable wear, and balance. A yearly tune-up is the cheapest insurance against a surprise repair.
