Summer Garage Door Check List

Hello everyone and welcome to Innovative Garage Door's 1st blog. We are here to help and give some tips on maintenance for your garage door and opener. This summer's pre-inspection should be as follows:

1. Close door, pull rope to use door manual lift. Is it heavy? Does it stick or bind? Try oiling all moving parts with 3 in 1 oil, sewing machine oil or pump can action (like the Tinman in The Wizard of Oz)

2. Check the safety reverse of the opener. Put a 2x4 down on floor, the door should reverse when it hits the 2x4.

Thank You.
