Lubrication
Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the door.
However, do not lubricate plastic parts such as
plastic rollers and plastic idler bearing. Consult
the door owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s
recommendation.
Door Balance
Periodically test the balance of your door.
•
Start with the door closed.
•
If you have a garage door opener, use the release
mechanism so you can operate the door by hand
when doing this test.
•
You should be able to lift the door smoothly and
with little resistance. It should stay open around
three or four feet above the fl oor. If it does not,
it is out of adjustment. Have it adjusted by a
qualifi ed service person.
