Are you waking up the neighbors every time the garage door opens? Do you deal with grinding or squeaking on a daily basis? While some garage doors just seem louder in general, there are concrete ways that you can once again, have a quiet garage door in the residential areas of Castle Rock and Parker.
There are many components of a garage door that may be causing such dreadful sounds. Some issues might be hardware related, while others may be fixable with simple garage door repairs. We are going to explain some of the ways you can take your noisy garage door into your own hands and fix those annoying sounds once and for all.
Here are couple garage door hacks that might help you if the door has begun making noise.
→ Lithium Spray– you can find this at your local Home Depot or Lowes, and it works great if your door is just a tad bit squeaky. Simply apply the spray to all moving parts of your garage door and it should be good to go!
→ Silicone Spray– this can also be found at most hardware stores but lithium spray is still preferred.
It is important to NOT use an oil-based spray or any WD-40 type product. The oil is not the same as grease and it will work against you in the long run. Oil-based spray may also cause damage to your tracks and wheels, so it’s better not to risk it!
