You should lubricate your garage door springs every 3 to 6 months. Regular lubrication helps to reduce friction, prevent rust, and ensure smooth operation. It is important to use a garage door-specific or silicone-based lubricant, as these are designed for metal components and won’t attract dust or debris like other lubricants (e.g., WD-40). Lubricating the springs at these intervals will help extend their lifespan and keep your garage door functioning properly.
Also, remember to lubricate other moving parts, such as hinges, rollers, and tracks, during routine maintenance for optimal performance.
