The manual will tell you how to best lubricate and adjust the parts of the door and opener for maximum performance.

If you aren’t sure about the maintenance of a garage door, it is advisable to hire a professional garage door repair service to do the job for you. They look for anything that appears worn or broken. There are some dangerous aspects to garage door repairs that shouldn't be attempted by anyone except a professional. These include such tasks as roller or spring replacement and overall door replacement. After all, the springs are tension-loaded, and the door is extremely heavy.

Lubrication of all parts is one of the most critical maintenance jobs that need to be performed, and it's a job you can feel safe doing yourself. Tracks, springs, hinges, and rollers all need to be lubricated periodically. Other inspections you will need to do include testing the balance of the door, monthly checks of the automatic door opener, and alignment of the safety sensors on the door.
