Spring is the perfect time to give your garage door a thorough inspection and cleaning. Inspect the moving parts such as springs, cables, and rollers for any signs of wear or damage. Tighten any loose bolts or screws, and lubricate all moving parts with a good quality silicone-based lubricant. Make sure to also check the weatherstripping on the bottom of the door to ensure a tight seal.
As summer arrives, it is important to keep your garage door clean and free of debris. Use a mild detergent and water to clean the exterior of the door, and make sure to remove any dirt or debris from the tracks. Check the balance of the door by disconnecting the opener and manually opening and closing the door. If the door does not open smoothly or stays open, it may be unbalanced and in need of professional adjustment.
Fall is the time to prepare your garage door for the colder months ahead. Check the weatherstripping around the door for any signs of wear and replace if necessary. Insulate the garage door to help keep the cold air out and the warm air in. Also, make sure to check the batteries in your garage door opener and replace them if needed.
As winter sets in, it is important to keep your garage door clear of snow and ice. Use a snow shovel or ice melt to keep the area around the garage door free from obstructions. Check the seals around the door for any signs of damage or gaps, and repair as needed to keep the cold air out.
