There are a number of regular maintenance items you can carry out on your garage door.

LUBRICATION (every 3-6 months)

• Guide Tracks:(Rolling Doors) Clean the internal sections of the guide tracks with a cloth dampened with mineral turps or methylated spirits. Polish vigorously to achieve a smooth, dirt and moisture resistant surface, allowing the Nylofelt to glide more easily. DO NOT USE GREASE OR OIL ON THE GUIDE TRACKS. (Sectional Doors) Should be cleaned as per rolling door instructions, but do not required polishing of the internal guide tracks.
• Steel Hinges: (If fitted). Sparingly lubricate with an all purpose machine oil. Also lubricate wheel to axle bearings. Lithium grease spray can also be used.
• Plastic Hinges: No lubrication is generally required; however Lithium spray may be used if necessary.
• Springs: (Where accessible). Wipe over with an oily rag or spray with CRC.
• Locks: Your lock does not require special maintenance, however if the key becomes stiff, a spray lubricant such as CRC is recommended. Do not grease the lock.
• Fasteners: Check all screws, nuts and bolts to ensure they are secure.
• Automatic Openers: If you have an automatic opener fitted to your door it is important that you ensure the optimum operation of your door; otherwise you may reduce the effective life of the opener, and void your opener warranty. For more information refer to the maintenance schedule in your opener's instruction handbook.

The following items also need to be checked regularly, however maintenance/repair to these needs to be done by a qualified technician.

• Lifting Cables: (If fitted). Check for wear through by rubbing. If there is fraying or signs of corrosion contact 89 Enterprises. These cables are under extreme tension and should never be adjusted, except by qualified technicians.
