The answer is very simple. Both the main door and the garage doors are exposed to the front of the house usually. Such being the case, they need to be treated on par with each other. This is because both are exposed to the elements of the nature. By elements, we mean air, water, sunlight, cold, wind etc. If you want to have a completely safe and easily operated door withstanding all the natural elements indicated, then you must maintain it properly. The minimum required maintenance activities have to be undertaken periodically to keep them in working condition.

The maintenance part of the garage door can be either monthly or annually. You need to attend to both to keep your garage door in a good and working condition.

Tips for monthly maintenance:

The door springs and the door hardware to be checked for their easy operation

The door rollers need to be checked. If the movement is hard, apply oil to them for easing the movement

As an initial task, close the garage door

Using the emergency release cord, release the carriage assembly from rail assembly
