Maintaining your garage door properly can prevent problems. In order to prevent problems from recurring in the future, it is essential to fix them in the right way:

- Lubricate the moving components of the door. Grease up the door opener's chain or drive screw with spray lubricant. Ensure that the door's hinges, rollers, and tracks are lubricated as well.

- Inspect the hardware for tightness. Garage doors move up and down several times throughout the day, so it is not uncommon for hardware to loosen. You should inspect your hardware and tighten any loose brackets and bolts.

- Check your door's balance. When your garage door is not balanced properly, the opener works harder each time you open or close it, causing it to wear out sooner.

- Make sure the auto-reverse feature works. Auto-reverse features on garage door openers help to prevent injuries. You should test this feature at least once a year to ensure it works properly.

- Check door parts for damage. The rollers and cables of the door can become damaged over time. Regularly inspect your door's parts to ensure they are in good working order and replace damaged or broken parts if necessary.
