How To Lubricate Your Noisy Garage Door (Goodbye, SQUEAKS!)

Not quite 20 years eight years garage door installation experience never lubricate an operator T rail for a LiftMaster or Chamberlain, use grease

I just tried this and it quieted my garage door for one opening. Now the screeching is worse haha. I can hear it's coming from the left side track as the door goes up. Doesn't make the sound when the door goes down.

Put the lubricant in the sock😂

Actually, you don't have an internal spring as there is no such thing. Awesome video, you covered everything!

Darn I've been doing it wrong. I've been using silicon and just spraying all the rollers, then running the garage door up and down until the squeaks stop. But now I realize that is substandard. Thanks again for the excellent video! Glad I subscribed.

Your clarity on garage maintenance is over the top, your presentation is what teaching is all about thank you for your knowledge 2 thumbs-up!

Just bought a house with squeaky door. What can I do to remove what appears to be like regular grease first before using the suggested grease?

Always unplug door opener.. we have grandkids that like to open garage door for Mamaw. So communicate with Mamaw that your working on door . 👍be safe always! Great video!

How long does lubrication last?

do not use BLASTER brand…worst crap i’ve ever bought

Thank you 🎉

WD-40 stinks too

Just did this for my garage door - and the noise reduction is AMAZING! I used WD-40 White Lithium Spray as you recommend.

Great video! Terrific production values and very helpful.

Very useful, thank you!

very educative. thank you.

Thank you! I sprayed every roller on the dang garage and was still there. Sprayed the spring going horizontal. And went right away! Thank you!

Thank you and you've explained it really well!

I followed every steps and my garage door sounds so much nicer now. You rock!

Great video. I just did my door and WOW!! what a difference. Mine was probably at least 3 times as loud as yours before I did it. Changed rollers and lubed it all up. Also, I have a Genie screw drive and the cover that covers the board and things was making a lot of noise. I tightened it down but didn't help so I wrapped it with a rubber tarp strap and that worked.. Nice and quite now.. What do you do if some of the screws were over tightened and striped out?? I found a bunch in the center of the door that the previous owner must have done. Can you go with a bigger screw?? Or nuts and bolts?? Thanks!!!

What should I do if I used regular WD-40 😢😢😢

DO NOT LUBRICATE THE ROLLERS AND SPRINGS YOU WILL DIE

Thank you, this was awesome!

Nicely done!

I was doing this maintenance and after completing my springs no squeak/squeal

Use butter.

Why not use a garage door lubricant? I found it at Lowe's and it is made by Blaster or 3 in 1.

Thank you. I used a silicone spray lubricant and the door opens about as quietly as it realistically can. You do need gloves for a project like this.

Thank you, well done!

When you put the sock back on, don't let your wife see you walking on the carpets.

Would you recommend the same lubrication spray for the hinges of house doors (e.g. bedroom, bathroom doors) that squeak?

Thanks! Great presentation very easy to follow.

The silicone helped, but I had to put grease in the tracks to get it really quiet. Im going to get the silicone track wheels

I appreciate the detailed instructions. I ended up with a couple of squeaks left at the end, and I went back over all the rollers and nuts attaching to the door and blasted with more silicone grease and that solved it. Thanks again!

but how about non-rolling garage doors?? I can't find this anywhere

Mate thanks so much for this! I had some really bad creaks and this got rid of them. Turns out one of the wheels was half seizing. It may seem like a simple thing to you but to me you've just taught me a new life skill. Legend!

Can i switch to white lithium after using silicone spray in the past?

Great video! Max dB lowered by 9 and Avg by 12.5. Thank you!

Thanks for posting this! I followed these instructions the other day and now the only sound that is heard when my two doors are raised or lowered is the sound of the motor of the door opener! Simply amazing!

Hi there. I'm sorry to report, but white lithium grease, from any maker, did not work on my garage door. Well... it worked for two days. After that, there was foam on all hinges, tracks, rollers, etc. and the noise level went back to the same level IN TWO DAYS. white lithium grease IS A MYTH. IT'S A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.

What about the chain? My garage door has a chain on the top.

thanks!!!!!!

Which app is that you used for judging how loud garage door was? Is it available for iOS devices?

Great video. Thanks for the video

Finally, someone who doesn’t demand a like and subscribe at the very beginning of a video. I appreciate you and your instructions as well as your no pressure request to like and subscribe.

Technician said absolutely do not lubricate that tension spring

Watched about half dozen videos about lubricanting garage doors, by far this is the most useful one.

TY

Thank you! great tutorial!
