Garage Door problems

brk-lnt · 11-01-2011, 03:33 PM

Before you pay money to have someone come out, you can just pull the cord that releases the the part that connects to the door itself from the track, which allows you to move the door freely. Move it up and down and see if it's catching on anything. If it's not, then whatever the problem was probably is no longer an issue.

Also I would reccomend that you spray the rollers and the entire tracks with WD-40 or maybe some other lubercant that wont freeze. has worked great on mine for years now.

I found out the hard way that WD-40 is not a lubricant, but is a cleaner and used for water displacement. WD-40 has a very interesting history. Including the way it got it's name. Water Displacement formula #40.

I now use Liquid Wrench when I need a spray lubricant.
