Your Garage Door and WD-40

When something is squeaking we usually reach for a can of old reliable… WD-40.

Did you know it may not be the best option of your garage door? WD-40 is meant for water displacement, not lubrication. You may be thinking “well it quiets things down when they’re noisy, why not use it?”
Here’s why, WD-40 will soften plastic, rubber, and nylon. If you have nylon rollers, applying WD-40 to them can shorten the life span. WD-40 can also damage the powder coat finish on your garage door. Using the correct lubricant is very important to extend the life of your garage door.
As much as we love WD-40, it has its place in this world and on your garage door isn’t it! If you need service for your garage door, make sure you reach out to a professional to make sure the job gets done right!
