βοΈ When spring turns to summer here in Lynnwood, the shift isn't just about warmer weather - it's about reversing the damage winter left behind on your garage door's moving parts.
Start by wiping down the tracks and rollers to remove any grit, salt residue, or moisture buildup that accumulated during wet months. π§½ That debris acts like sandpaper on metal components, wearing down rollers and causing binding. Next, apply a silicone-based lubricant to springs, hinges, and roller stems - not WD-40, which dries out and attracts more dirt.
Check your weatherstripping along the bottom seal. If it's cracked or brittle from freeze-thaw cycles, replace it now before summer heat makes it worse. A damaged seal lets dust, pollen, and hot air into your garage, which overworks your opener's motor and shortens its lifespan.
