What Do You Do if Your Garage Door Is Making Noise?

Your garage door is most likely the largest moving object on your home. It needs a little TLC sometimes to keep it running well.

If your door is making a squeaking noise, it may need to be lubricated. Select a lubricant for garage doors from your local hardware store or PDQ Garage Doors.

Once this is done, you want to close your garage door and lubricate all the rollers, track, springs, hinges, etc.

After lubricating the door, you will want to operate the door a few cycles to work in the lubricant.

If you are still having noise from your door system, it could be your opener, which usually requires a different lubricant, also available at hardware stores or PDQ Garage Doors. Read your garage door opener’s manual before lubricating the garage door opener — different openers require lubrication in different places.

After lubricating the garage door and garage door opener system, if you are still having noise coming from your door system, you should give PDQ Garage Doors a call at 513-PDQ-DOOR for a service call — it is most likely something more than just lubricant can fix. Our garage door repair team is ready to diagnose and fix the problem.
