How to Lubricate your Wood Carriage House 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.

Customer Feedback
Posted on Beth BlairTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ADM Garage Door is my favorite and the best garage door install and repair company I have ever worked with. I hired Andre of ADM years ago when he first moved to Folsom and sent out flyers to the Folsom area. I needed emergency repair for a garage door installed by a different company and it was falling off the ceiling rails. He made the repair the same evening. At my next house, Andre replaced the automatic door motor, later replaced broken springs and adjusted rails for soundless lifting. For each of my jobs, Andre of ADM calculated load, advised me on various manufacturer choices and used the best products for my job. He performs a tune up when he does a repair, and has taught me how to maintain my garage door to extend the life of my equipment. He works methodically, fast, neatly and efficiently. When he leaves my job he makes sure I am happy with his work and his rates. I always am. Garage doors are, for most of us, main access to our homes and equipment we use several times a day. Andre keeps them working. I use and recommend ADM Garage Door.Posted on Peter BolyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quick and efficient! Thank you.Posted on Gayle GoinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Andre with ADM Garage Doors multiple times. His services that were provided to us included, but not limited to, replacing the garage door gear drive, springs, servicing for maintenance, and providing professional advice for obtaining a replacement garage door remote opener. We highly recommend ADM Garage Doors for any of your garage door needs, maintenance, and if necessary replacements. Definitely five star service!Posted on Victor KessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highest recommendation! Extremely responsive, worked to understand the issues, and discussed solution options before doing the work extremely efficiently and at the highest quality. A spring broke on my door. After a quick search, scheduled an online appointment for the next day. I followed up with a text to confirm the appointment. Within minutes, I was contacted and Andre offered to come over the same day. I texted a few pics of the issue to make sure it was something that could be done same day. Once he arrived and inspected the situation, he recognized the root cause of improperly sized cabling causing issues that led to jamming and breaking of the spring. Repair and installation done within 2 hours along with replacing the door rollers. No issues with me watching and talking through the repairs and installations so that I can understand more about garage doors. If you need anything with regards to your garage door, I give ADM the highest of recommendations for responsiveness, completeness, and quality of work performed.Posted on Kate ReidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andre was able to come over on short notice and get my garage door working again. Super easy to work with and clearly explained everything. Would use again!Posted on Woody petkovichTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a repeat customers. I recommend this super hero to everyone. He does quality work. No shortcutsPosted on Raymond LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Garage door spring broke. Made an appointment online and ADM was there the next day. Arrival to my house was a little behind schedule but once the work started it was done within 30 minutes!Posted on Lacy SullivanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Andre at ADM. He has worked on our garage door twice recently (two separate issues). He's fast to respond and quick to schedule. Both issues were repaired quickly for a fair price. He's also very friendly and easy to work with!Posted on Susan TrachtenbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andre was there on a Friday to help when I couldn’t close my garage door. I backed into it. Called and he was able to come within 45 min. Worked with me to find a similar garage door and was able to get one with the same design and got some money off. Knew our garage wasn’t working and the rain was coming and got it installed by Monday morning. Great communication and we’ve used him for years. Good guy!Posted on Mike LopesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andre did a great job! He arrived on time and got right to work. The work was done efficiently and fast plus he tested everything thoroughly when the work was completed. I definitely recommend.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
