The single most important thing you can do to prolong the life of your garage door is to disconnect it from the opener and run it by hand twice a year. In the name of safety disconnect it while it is closed (if you happen to have a broken spring and disconnect it while open it may fall causing damage or worse injury). Then run the door by hand. Does it open and close nice and easy/smooth? If not it may be a simple as lubricating it or it may need service. Either way you have saved yourself a much larger expense later on by catching it now. If you do notice loose screws or missing screws be very careful if you attemp to replace them. Do not under any circumstances remove or try to adjust the bottom brackets on your door. These are located at the bottom on each edge of the door and are under extreme tension as the lift cables are attached to them. Also avoid the bearing plate the the springs are attached to, again under extreme tension and are very dangerous.

Have a great Spring!!
