It is important to maintain your garage doors to preventative early damage and costly repairs. Excellence Garage Doors LLC offers the following tips for preventative maintenance of your garage doors:

1. Check the tracks and rollers periodically to make sure they are free of dirt, debris, and other foreign objects. You can use a household vacuum cleaner to remove any build-up in the tracks.
2. Inspect the door opener regularly to ensure that it is working properly. If you notice any unusual noises or the door not opening or closing smoothly, then call a professional for assistance.
3. Lubricate the tracks, rollers, and hinges monthly with a silicon-based lubricant to prevent rust and keep the door operating smoothly.
4. Test the door balance monthly by manually opening and closing the door. If the door is heavy to lift or seems to be off-balance, then call a professional for assistance.
5. Inspect the weather-stripping around the door periodically to ensure that it is in good condition and sealing properly. If the weather-stripping is worn or damaged, then it needs to be replaced.
6. Inspect the door panels and hardware periodically for any signs of damage or wear and tear. If any of the panels are cracked or the hardware is becoming loose, then call a professional for assistance.
