Annual Garage Door Maintenance Checklist (Save Thousands)

March 1, 2026 · 4 min read

Skipping garage door maintenance is the fastest way to a $500 emergency repair bill. Here's the annual checklist we recommend to every homeowner.

DIY (Quarterly)

Lubricate hinges, rollers, and springs with white lithium grease. Wipe sensor lenses. Listen for grinding or squealing.

Pro Tune-Up (Annually)

Spring tension calibration, cable inspection, roller and bearing check, track alignment, opener force/limit adjustment, safety reverse test, and a 25-point safety inspection.

Why It Matters

Doors that get yearly maintenance last 25–30 years. Doors that don't usually fail by year 12, and the failure is almost always sudden and expensive.
