CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR DOOR
CONSIDER YOUR GARAGE DOOR AS AN IMPORTANT PART
OF YOUR HOME. PROPER MAINTENANCE WILL RESULT IN
PROBLEM-FREE OPERATION.
WASH YOUR DOOR
Rinse the surface with a garden hose to remove all residues, apply a
liquid, car wash and wax product with a good quality car wash mitt as you
would use for your car, and rinse the surface with a garden hose. (Follow
instructions on the bottle). Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong liquid soaps.
The use of liquid car wax once a year will revitalize your door. Evenly
spread a thin layer of wax to avoid wax accumulations in the wood grain
finish, and follow car wax application instructions. If wax accumulations
cannot be removed with a cloth, use a soft bristle brush, and gently
remove the excess. (Avoid accumulations around window frames
and overlays)
CLEAN THE WEATHERSTRIP
The weatherstrip is made of quality PVC and therefore should be cleaned
with an all-purpose vinyl cleaner, as you would use on your patio furniture.
Lubricate the weatherstrip every three months (more frequently for high
usage doors) with Garaga weatherstrip lubricant or a silicon-based oil.
Do not use petroleum-based oils as this will cause loss of elasticity.
Petroleum attacks the rubber and decreases its flexibility.
LUBRICATE TRACKS, HINGES, ROLLERS, SPRINGS
Lubricate the rollers, springs and hinges with Garaga metal lubricant or
a small amount of motor oil. For the tracks, apply Garaga metal lubricant
primarily in the curve of the track. This will result in a quieter operation
of your door.
AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER
Carefully read the instructions provided by the opener manufacturer, as
special lubricants may be recommended.
Warning – Every 3 months, disconnect the opener (pull the cord) and
open the door by hand several times. If you have difficulty opening the
door, your opener will have the same difficulty, and you should therefore
contact your Garaga dealer.
This difficulty could be caused by a number of factors, including warped
tracks, a disengaged cable, or a problem with the spring.
It is also possible to adjust the door yourself if the door does not
close properly. Consult the operation guide provided by the opener
manufacturer, as many openers have simple adjustment buttons.
