Garex Garage Door Maintenance:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FOR DOOR SURFACE MAINTENANCE:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • Wash the door at least once a year with mild soap and a car brush to maintain its appearance;<\/li>
  • Avoid using powerful cleansers that could damage the paint finish;<\/li>
  • It is recommended to apply a car wax coating on your Garex garage door for a nice shine and an easier cleaning surface.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    FOR DOOR JAMB AND IN-BETWEEN PANEL WEATHERSTRIPS:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    • Wash them with mild soap to preserve their appearance and flexibility;<\/li>
    • Apply a silicone-based lubricant on the weatherstrips about twice a year;
      Caution: Do NOT use an oil-based lubricant.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      FOR THE HARDWARE:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      • Lubricate all moving parts with motor oil (ex. 10W -30) twice a year: rollers, hinges, pulleys, springs and the locking mechanism;<\/li>
      • Inspect for soundness all the hinges, rollers, bolts and track supports;<\/li>
      • If you notice anything unusual, immediately contact a Garex specialist in garage door maintenance and installation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        FOR ELECTRICAL OPERATING SYSTEM:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        • Inspect the Garex garage door operating system every three months;<\/li>
        • Open and close the door by hand. A properly balanced garage door will open and close easily. If the door is unbalanced or hard to open, immediately contact a Garex garage door installation technician;<\/li>
        • Check the safety device (sensor edge along the bottom of the door). The garage door should reverse its movement automatically if an object or a person is located in the path of the door. If something seems amiss, immediately contact a Garex garage door installation technician.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          IMPORTANT MESSAGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          It is important to conduct the recommended maintenance to ensure a smooth operation of your Garex garage door for many years. You can also hire a qualified Garex installation technician to conduct the yearly maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          To avoid injury, do not attempt to carry out springs, hinges and lifting cables adjustments by yourself. Consult instead a Garex installation technician.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
