Using a level, check both tracks are straight up and down 90º. If you find its not straight loosen the lag bolts that hold the track to the wall. Adjust the track until straight and then retighten the blots. If you need help making sure your garage door tracks are straight contact the professionals at AtlasOverheadDoor.net.
Inspect your garage door's rollers and replace any that are broken or worn. Most rollers are easy to replace but if you need help contact AtlasOverheadDoor.net.
Clean the exterior of the garage door with a mild detergent and sponge or brush. An exposed wood should be sealed or painted to prevent rot.
Clean your weather stripping, rubber/vinyl or foam edge around your garage door frame and also clean the vinyl bottom edge of the door. Once every other month lubricate the stripping with silicone-based product to keep it pliable.
