How to grease garage door spring.

When it comes to lubricating the springs of the garage door there are many who never even thought about doing that. Do not spray the cable drums for torsion springs. Spray the length of each spring liberally with the silicone lubricating spray. Slowly lift your garage door up manually and spray each hinge as it meets the bend of the track.

We recommend using a non silicone lubricant such as lps 2. Always avoid spraying wd 40 on any part of your garage door. Use one or two sprays on each hinge. Open your door and spray the lubricant on each of the hinges.

Step 3 lubricate the springs. The springs are located in the front of the system at the top. Set up a stepladder under the front torsion springs if your door has springs on a torsion bar above the 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. Open and close the garage door to work the silicone into the spring.
