GARAGE
How to Use a Gear Hugger to Lubricate a Garage Door
Shut the garage door manually or with the remote. This allows you to access the tracks and the rest of your door's moving parts. 1.Close the garage door.
Before you lubricate your door, make sure it's not in use. After closing your garage door, disconnect it from the power source. If the plug for your garage door opener is difficult to reach or hard- wired, turn off the breaker in your circuit box. 2. Unplug the power to the door.
The garage door rollers move along the tracks as they open and close. You don't need to lubricate these, but you do need to make sure they're completely clean for your door to work properly. 3. Clean out tracks with a wet rag.
If you're having trouble getting debris out of the tracks, you can suck it out with a vacuum and a hose extension. This is an excellent solution for getting to the higher portions of the tracks that you may be having difficulty reaching. 4. Vacuum dirt & dust from tracks.
