Residential Overhead Door
Preventative Maintenance – Residential Overhead Door & Operator
Overhead Door
- Every 6 months – or whenever a squeak is heard – lubricate your overhead doors with a spray lubricant. This includes your hinges, rollers, tracks, and springs.
- Complete a visible inspection of your overhead door annually. This includes checking your cables to ensure they are not frayed.
Operator
- Photoeyes – make sure your photoeye sensors are in line, the lenses are clean, and there is nothing blocking their path. If your door will not close, this is most likely why. Also be careful not to get the photoeyes wet as they are not waterproof!
- Chain drive openers – make sure that the chain is oiled and your rail is greased.
- Belt drive openers – make sure that your rail is greased.
