These tips below will help you deal with sudden garage door problems and give answers to your questions.

Take care of the surface of the door

Garage door maintenance must also include the inspection, cleaning and treatment of the panel, too. Make sure the door is free of mold and rust and dents must be treated accordingly. If the door is hinged, make sure garage door hinges are in good condition.

Keep the clicker away from kids

It's good to remember that the garage door clicker is not safe in children's hands. In fact, it can be a dangerous toy, especially if you have an overhead door according to our specialists. Make sure it is kept somewhere safe and out of their reach.

Rust care

Every year you should take the time to consider whether and how far the garage door is rusting. This is a normal sign of wear and tear regardless of the quality of the installation products. Of course a good lubricant is a good preventative strategy. If you can create a barrier to the elements then that is better.

Remove thick and stubborn rust with steel wool

Use the steel wool to scrape off the rust. You may need to rub quite hard. After you have removed the thick layer, you can use a solvent to complete the job. Just keep in mind that garage door parts and panels which have started corroding must be replaced.

On how to care for your door

When it comes to your doors, garage door maintenance should always be your top priority. Remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. So regularly spray lubricant on the garage door parts to ensure that it is well oiled for smooth operations.
