How to Lubricate Your Garage Door
Most doors squeak when they need to be lubricated. We recommend lubricating the garage door every 6 months. This will keep it working smoothly and make sure all moving parts are not metal on metal contact and this will ensure that parts do not get worn out. Then we recommend having a professional come out and do the harder stuff and also make sure nothing is worn out and needs to be replaced.
Choose the Right Lubrication
The best lubricant is the ones that are specifically for garage doors. This spray is formulated specifically for garage doors. The cheaper sprays come out in color and also spray out so much you can hit the hinge 10ft away. Also they drip a lot and can be huge safety hazard if they drip down on a epoxy floor and then someone can slip and fall. Do not use a WD40. This is not a lubricant. WD40 has a cleaning agent that will break down grease and remove the grease from places that has grease packed around the bearing.
The is the best lubricant out on the market! We sell it private label with our name on it.
