• Check whether your garage doors are moving
  smoothly without any jerk and minimum noise.

  the system look symmetrical.
• Spray a small amount of a lithium-based lubricant
  to your rollers, hinges, and springs to ensure

• Inspect whether your garage door is properly
  insulated for energy efficiency. If not, purchase
  an insulation kit from a local dealer and contact
  a professional to get the job done right for you.
• Check for any tears, rips, gaps or if the strip
  is dried out along both the top and side
  weather-stripping. If there are any noticeable
  damages, the strip should be replaced.

• Wash the door exterior at least one time per year
  and more frequently in salt air climates. Dilute
  one cup of common household detergent, like
  Tide, in five gallons of warm water and wash
  door with a dense sponge or cloth.
• Rinse door thoroughly with a hose. Do not
  pressure wash a garage door.
• Never blend cleansers or detergents with bleach.
