Below are some DIY garage door tips you can use in Connecticut:
  • Garage door sticks when opening or closing - If the garage door sticks, the metal rollers and hinges probably needs lubricating. The tracks may also be dirty, clogged or out of alignment.
  • Noisy Garage Doors - Noisy garage doors are problematic for anyone who has to sleep above or next to the garage. It can be fixed with a combination of routine maintenance and the replacement of a few parts like you can tighten the nuts, replace the rollers or hinges etc.
  • Frozen Garage Door – During the coldest days of the year, cold and moisture combine and make it difficult for garage door to open and close. Garage doors can and do freeze to the garage floor. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to melt the ice. Standard de-icing products will also work. And, if you are careful not to damage the door or the seal on the bottom of the door, use a flat shovel or similar tool to chip away at the ice.
Once you get the door open, clear any water, ice or snow from the spot on the garage floor where the door rests when closed. That way, you should be able to plan on getting the door open next time you need it.
