A well-maintained garage door not only ensures smooth operation but also extends the life of its components. At Tuscany Garage Door Repair, we know how vital it is to keep every part of your garage door in optimal condition. One essential service we provide is the lubrication of moving parts. Here’s why it’s critical and how it benefits your garage door.
Garage doors rely on various moving parts to function effectively. Without proper lubrication, these parts can wear out faster and compromise the performance of your door. Regular lubrication helps:
Reduce Friction
Friction between metal components can cause unnecessary wear and tear. Lubrication minimizes this friction, allowing your door to move smoothly.
Prevent Rust and Corrosion
Metal parts exposed to moisture are prone to rust. High-quality lubricants act as a protective barrier against corrosion.
Minimize Noise
Squeaky, grinding noises are a common sign of poorly lubricated parts. Proper lubrication silences these noises, providing a quieter operation.
Improve Energy Efficiency
A well-lubricated door opener motor doesn’t have to work as hard, saving energy and extending its lifespan.
To ensure your garage door runs like new, these components need regular attention:
Springs
Torsion and extension springs bear the weight of the door. Lubricating them prevents brittleness and prolongs their functionality.
Hinges
Hinges allow the door to bend along its tracks. Keeping them lubricated ensures smooth flexibility.
Rollers
Rollers guide the door along its tracks. Lubrication prevents them from sticking or jamming.
Tracks
Although tracks don’t need direct lubrication, cleaning them and applying a light coat of lubricant ensures smooth roller movement.
Garage Door Opener Chain or Screw
Lubricating the chain or screw of your garage door opener keeps the mechanism running efficiently.
