Maintenance

Mackie Portes et Fenêtres recommends the following garage door maintenance program to ensure smooth operation for years to come. You may want to hire a qualified installer to perform an annual inspection.

DOOR SURFACE:

  • Clean your door at least once a year using a car brush and mild detergent.
  • Avoid heavy-duty cleaning products, which might damage the paint.
  • Apply a layer of car wax to achieve a lustrous shine for easier maintenance.

WEATHERSTRIPPING AND PANELS:

  • Wash with a mild detergent to preserve appearance and mobility.
  • Lubricate at least twice a year with a silicone-based lubricant. (CAUTION: Never use a petroleum-based lubricant.)

HARDWARE:

  • Lubricate all moving parts twice a year (rollers, hinges, sheaves, springs and locking mechanisms) with motor oil (i.e., 10W30).
  • Check integrity of hinges, rollers, bolts and tracks.
  • If you spot an irregularity, contact a garage door installation and repair specialist immediately.

ELECTRIC OPENER:

  • Check your opener on a quarterly basis
  • Operate the door manually and check that it is perfectly balanced. If it is lopsided or stiff, contact a garage door installation and repair specialist immediately.
  • Check security detectors. The garage door must reverse course immediately if an object or person is in its path. If you spot an irregularity, contact a garage door installation and repair specialist immediately.

IMPORTANT:
It is crucial to perform recommended garage door maintenance tasks for smooth operation for years to come. You can also hire a qualified installer for an annual inspection.

Note that, for your own safety, you should never attempt to adjust springs, bottom hinges or lift cables yourself. Contact a qualified Mackie Portes et Fenêtres installer.
