Wash the door with a soft sponge or cloth and a cleaner appropriate for the surface.
Follow the cleaning product directions. Then thoroughly rinse the door with a hose.For wood doors, clean the outside of the door by wiping it with a dry, soft cloth. After cleaning, a wood door may also require repainting or staining. Inspect your door once a year or as needed, depending on finish quality and climate, to determine if it needs to be painted or stained. Clean the inside of the garage door in the same way, depending on condition. If relatively clean, use a broom to remove any cobwebs or other debris. Inspecting a Garage Door for Safety Visually inspect the springs for condition, and correct operation every three months. Torsion springs are round springs mounted under high tension above the garage door. Extension springs are long springs that are stretched horizontally above the door’s roller tracks. Replacement parts are available at Lowe’s. Wear work gloves to minimize pinching when handling springs and other parts. Inspect the rollers, tracks, cables, brackets and hinges for condition, and correct operation every three months.
Make sure all the bolts and screws are tight. Look for anything that seems worn or frayed and replace it. Test the door balance: Disconnect the power to the garage door opener, if equipped. Disengage the opener, typically by pulling the cord and the handle hanging from the trolley on the central track. Manually lift the door to waist level and slowly release. If the door drops or rises, it isn't correctly balanced and should be adjusted by a trained technician. Also, the owner’s manual may offer safe procedures for balancing the garage door. CautionTorsion springs should only be adjusted or removed by a trained technician with the proper tools. By law, tension springs and cables will have a red paint mark, an adjustment bolt painted red or have a safety tag to identify it and provide cautions. Lubricating a Garage Door Lubricate the door’s hinges, springs and bearings with a nonsilicon-based lubricant, as recommended by the door manufacturer. Motor oil can be used to lubricate the parts.
Lubricate the door’s rollers: All-metal rollers: Use a nonsilicon-based lubricant such as motor oil. Nylon rollers: Lubricate the bearings, but make sure that oil doesn't come in contact with the nylon rollers. CautionDon't oil the roller tracks as lubricant can cause the door to slip and become unbalanced. Clean the garage door tracks with a cloth and brake cleaner. Wear latex gloves when using brake cleaner. Make repairs as needed, following the instructions in the garage door owner’s manual, or call a trained technician for help.If you are interested in purchasing additional or replacement garage door opener accessories, please contact your local Genie dealer or retailer.

An automatic garage door opener has an average lifespan of about 12 years. But with routine maintenance, it can last even longer. Fortunately, maintaining a typical garage door opener is an easy job that only needs to be performed a couple of times a year. Follow a few simple steps to keep your opener operating smoothly.Know Your SystemFirst, identify what type of garage door opener system you have. Garage door openers have common parts that require maintenance. You likely have one of the following drive types: Chain-drive systems are the most common and least expensive type. An electric motor drives a metal chain that raises and lowers the door.
While reliable, these systems can be noisy.Belt-drive systems use a rubber belt instead of a chain to lift the door. These systems typically offer the smoothest and quietest operation.Screw-drive systems feature a threaded steel rod that turns to raise and lower the door. While these systems operate more slowly, they're able to lift heavy, one-piece tilt-up doors. Whether you're repairing an existing door opener or thinking of installing a new one, talk with an associate in the Lowe's Garage Door and Openers department. You'll learn how to adjust your current system or select the best replacement system to suit your garage and level of use.Maintaining the Garage Door OpenerA key step in maintaining your garage door opener is finding the owner’s manual that came with the unit. If you can’t find it, look online at the manufacturer’s website. Many garage door opener manuals, even for older models, can be downloaded. The manual will include specifics about the power unit as well as maintenance and troubleshooting information.
Step 1Visually inspect all mounting brackets, cables, fasteners, tracks, and supports, looking for loose, bent, or worn parts. Tighten, adjust, or replace as needed.Step 2Check the cord connection between the opener and the electrical outlet to make sure it is secure and not frayed. If the opener has a battery backup, check and, if needed, replace the battery.Step 3Check and, as needed, replace batteries in the remote control and wall control keypad (if applicable).Step 4Every couple of months, test and adjust the auto-reverse system. This system opens the door immediately if it comes in contact with anything while closing. Make sure the two electronic eyes align. You may need to clean or replace one or both eyes. Then try all the following:Set an object that blocks the opener's electronic eyes — such as a roll of paper towels — at your garage's open threshold. When you try to close the door, it should immediately reopen.Set an object in the threshold that doesn't block the opener's electronic eyes such as a folding chair or a sawhorse.
