As the temperatures start to heat up this spring, giving your garage door a refresh might be at the top of your to-do list after a long winter. Whether you need garage door maintenance, repair, or replacement this spring, the dedicated team at RKS Doors is here to help.
Give it a Thorough Cleaning
When the weather permits, wipe down the outside of the garage door from any dirt, grime, and salt that may have accumulated over the winter. Use a damp cloth or sponge for garage door cleaning, and gently rinse off with a hose if you would like. This also gives you a chance to closely inspect the door for any new signs of damage, like cracks or dents.
Listen for Strange Noises
Aside from garage door cleaning, it can also be useful to stand inside the garage and watch the door open and close a few times. Listen for any unusual or screeching noises that might indicate there’s a compromised component, or slight jerking or stopping movements.
These signs might indicate the need for small maintenance or repair tasks, which can help prevent larger, more costly issues and garage door replacements down the line if ignored.
Review Weather Stripping
The sealant strip at the bottom edge of the garage door might have gone through some wear and tear after being exposed to the winter elements. This component is typically long-lasting. However, give it a once-over in the spring to look for any cracks or damage that might impact its energy efficiency and how effectively it keeps moisture, drafts, and pests from the garage interior.
Add Lubrication to Moving Parts
The rollers, hinges, and springs on the garage doors need to be lubricated to move smoothly and stay in good condition. This is a quick and easy garage door maintenance task to add to your checklist.
