How to grease garage door spring.

We recommend using a non silicone lubricant such as lps 2. Slowly lift your garage door up manually and spray each hinge as it meets the bend of the track. The goal is to see metal again and not black grime. This will lubricate the moving parts on the door and will make opening and closing the garage door much smoother.

Do not spray the cable drums for torsion springs. Use one or two sprays on each hinge. Spray the length of each spring liberally with the silicone lubricating spray. Step 3 lubricate the springs.

Set up a stepladder under the front torsion springs if your door has springs on a torsion bar above the door. Open and close the garage door to work the silicone into the spring. Open your door and spray the lubricant on each of the hinges. Always avoid spraying wd 40 on any part of your garage door.

Take some time to use rags to rub the tracks and cables of the garage door assembly. Invest the 7 minutes to watch the video and we promise.
