Check the Safety Features

Your garage door includes safety features that you will need to check to ensure it's in working order. Also, make sure you test your garage door's auto-reversing mechanism, emergency release, and other safety features designed to keep you safe.

Look for Signs of Winter Damage

Winter can be harsh with the ice, cold, and snow that can leave your weather strip brittle and cracked, and in some cases, the extreme cold can warp tracks in unusual ways. Just make sure you inspect for anything that appears out of the ordinary.

Garage Door Care

You can provide some do-it-yourself maintenance each spring. First, you will need to clean the noted parts above, and don't forget to lubricate your garage door tracks and rollers. When garage doors get noisy, it's often a sign of misalignment, or something is blocking the rollers along the tracks. Adding just enough lubrication can help quiet the noise and allow it to rise and lower in a more streamlined fashion.
