Don’t Keep Santa in the Cold!

5 Holiday Tips to Keep Your Garage Running Smoothly This Season

The holiday season is here, and while you’re decking the halls and prepping for gatherings, don’t forget about one of the hardest-working parts of your home: your garage door. Cold weather, increased use, and the hustle and bustle of the season can take a toll on your garage door. Here are five tips to keep your garage door in top shape so it doesn’t ruin your holiday plans.

1. Inspect and Lubricate Moving Parts

Cold temperatures can make metal components contract, leading to creaks and jams. Take time to inspect your door’s springs, rollers, and tracks, and apply a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

2. Check the Weatherstripping

A damaged or worn-out weatherstrip at the bottom of your garage door can let in freezing air, affecting your heating bill and comfort. Replace it to keep your garage cozy and energy-efficient this season.

3. Test Your Door’s Balance

An imbalanced garage door can strain your opener and lead to costly repairs. Disconnect the opener and manually lift the door halfway—if it doesn’t stay in place, it’s time to call a professional.

4. Ensure Safety Features Are Working

With family and kids visiting during the holidays, garage door safety is essential. Test the auto-reverse feature by placing an object in the door’s path. If it doesn’t reverse, schedule a repair immediately.
