What type of care and maintenance is necessary for a steel door and hardware?

Good Day! So I have had some calls this week and the most popular question was maintenance on their garage door so I have pulled one of our FAQ's to help with this.

What type of care and maintenance is necessary for  a  steel door and hardware?

Answer: We recommend that you wash your steel door a minimum of one (1) time per year with: (a) One cup of Tide® (or other common detergents which contain less than 0.5% phosphate), dissolved into five gallons of warm water. NEVER BLEND CLEANSERS OR DETERGENTS WITH BLEACH.
      

The use of a well-soaked cloth, sponge, brush (with very soft bristles) or low pressure spray washer is recommended. Once the door is washed, thoroughly rinse with clean water to eliminate the possibility of residue.

In addition, lubrication of rollers and hinges is recommended on a yearly basis. Visually inspect springs and cable for wear and binding once each year and contact a professional garage door dealer/installer if damage is suspected. Do not attempt to remove, repair or adjust springs. HIGH SPRING TENSION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

We offer service to all of our existing customers at a special reduced rate and if you would like us to come out we will perform a full safety inspection, lube & tune the door and full balance of your door for only $89!
