Welcome to our guide on garage door maintenance for optimal performance and longevity. While our garage doors are crafted to the highest quality standards, a little care goes a long way in ensuring they stay in top-notch condition. Here are some essential maintenance tips:

Aluminum, Zinc Steel, and Aluminum Doors (Sectional and Tip-Up):

Cleaning: Treat your garage door to a monthly spa day! Rinse it down with cold water, wash with a mild soap solution using a soft sponge, and rinse again. Avoid abrasive materials, especially in coastal areas.

Lubrication: Say goodbye to squeaky sounds! Give roller shafts, hinge axles, and springs a monthly dose of a penetrating lubricating oil like Silicone Spray. Remember, avoid greasing any moving part, especially roller tracks and the opener mechanism.

Adjustments: Hands off the adjustments! Garage door systems are precision-engineered. Leave adjustments to our Accredited Technicians and Installers.

Sectional Doors: The torsion gear is a no-touch zone! Seeking professional help is a must for anything related to torsion gear – don’t risk personal injury.

Tip-Up Doors: Respect the tension gear! Whether open or closed, it’s under constant tension. Never attempt adjustments yourself. Call our Accredited Technicians for assistance.

General Advice: Never open your garage door while the physical locking mechanism is engaged. This can prevent severe damage to the door and opener.

Wood Doors (Sectional and Tip-Up):

Cleaning and ‘Oiling’: Treat your wood door with care. Sweep it clean monthly with a soft broom or cloth. Every three months, give it a coat of Silkwood Oil. Repeat every six months and annually thereafter. This ensures lasting beauty and protection.

Additional Advice: Remember, regular servicing is key. Schedule a yearly service with our Qualified and Accredited Technicians to keep your garage door and opener in peak condition.

Guarantee/Warranty: For new installations, enjoy a 12-month warranty. Repairs come with a 6-month warranty. Please note, batteries are not covered.

Final Reminder: Your garage door deserves a yearly checkup. Ensure it’s done to preserve its condition and maximize its lifespan, and keep up with good garage door maintenance regularly.
