Stop Garage Door Squeaking

If the door has wheels to go up and down spin the wheels.

Stop garage door squeaking.

First inspect the garage door rollers. The special garage door lube penetrates the parts as a liquid and dries to form a non tacky grease that won t attract dirt and dust which can gum things up. Make sure the wheels do not wobble when opening and closing the door. Here are the steps that you should follow to properly lubricate the garage door and minimise the noise.

Lubricate all of the moving parts on the garage door. Disconnect the garage door from the motor. Inspect the hinges the opening mechanism the door tracks and the wheels in order to identify the source of the squeaking noise. Make sure that the garage door is in the closed position.

This is the same concept. Your garage door making unnecessary noise is a warning that something is going wrong. Lubricate the track once or twice a year when you notice uneven lifting or squeaking. Avoid other lubricants such as oil grease or spray lithium grease.

Think of it like when a tornado watch is issued for your area. Step 1 inspect the garage door use a ladder to access to the upper parts of the door. Replace the batteries in the garage door opener remote. Giving the door a stronger signal may help it move.

Each time you open or close the door the rollers on the track of the door move causing wear and eventually damaging each roller s surface. Wipe off any dirt or debris that has built up on the garage door. Using a wrench and socket set to retighten these bolts and screws can potentially quiet the garage door almost completely. Once the pin is loose pull it out lift up on the door handle to relieve pressure if the pin binds.

While watching the rollers open and close the door. Keep the door closed and work on only one hinge at a time. The garage door noise you are hearing may simply be due to the fact that the door and track supports have loose or missing track bolts and screws causing the door to rattle in its rails. The problem is that such noises can be a sign of a bigger problem.

If you ve got a door hinge that squeals every time you open the door we ve got the fix for you. Lubricate all moving parts every six months to reduce wear and keep the door quiet. The cause of the noise is from the moving parts on your garage door. Loosen each hinge pin by tapping an 8d nail up from underneath.

You plan for a possible tornado.
