**3 Ways to Prevent Garage Door Issues This Winter**
Is it just us, or does everything seem to work perfectly until the worst possible moment? For garage door problems, that worst time is usually when you're coming home during a heavy ice storm on a freezing winter night.
Even if you enjoy the cold, there's no fun in getting out of your car and struggling with a frozen or jammed garage door. The good news is, you can take a few simple steps now to avoid these frustrating issues later.
Here are three things you can do right now to keep your garage door running smoothly all winter long:
**1. Lubricate the Moving Parts**
Your garage door needs regular maintenance, and winter is the perfect time to give it some attention. Applying the right lubricant to the moving parts will help them operate more smoothly and protect them from the harsh winter elements.
Use a petroleum-based lubricant for metal components like springs and hinges, and a silicone-based one for weather stripping and seals. This small effort can save you from major headaches down the road.
**2. Inspect the Roller Tracks**
The roller tracks guide the door as it opens and closes. If they’re not aligned properly, the door might get stuck or not close completely. To check this, disconnect your garage door opener and try opening and closing the door manually. If it feels rough or uneven, it’s time to adjust or clean the tracks.
**3. Check the Bottom of the Door**
During fall and winter, debris, snow, or ice can accumulate at the base of your garage door, affecting its safety features. Make sure the area around the door is clear, and check that the sensors aren’t blocked by leaves or snow. A small amount of buildup can prevent the door from closing properly, which could be dangerous.
Winter is coming, but with a little bit of preparation now, you can avoid many common garage door problems. Taking care of your door early will save you time, money, and stress when the cold really sets in.
