Next, you’ll have to make sure the tracks are clean. Use a household cleaner that has
strong cleaning power to get rid of dirt and grease. This allows the tracks to work at
their full capacity use water and cleanser for cleaning, then wipe the rollers and tracks
with a paper towel or washcloth until they are completely dry.
Finally, after cleaning, check on and around the garage door to make sure there are
no loose pieces. If you see that a track or bracket isn’t tight enough, secure it before
you start using the garage regularly again. If your garage door rolls up, inspect the
hinges that hold the door together, and replace hinges that are damaged. If you see
that the screw hole is too large, get a new screw that is longer but has the same
diameter. To hold the screw in place, dip the screw in carpenter’s glue and place it in
the hole that you’ve already drilled in order to keep the screw in place. If you see that
the wood around the hinge is cracked, take the hinge from the wall an fill in the cracks
with a wood filler. Allow the filler to dry before replacing the hinge or move the hinge
onto solid wood if you can.
