Maintenance of your garage door

Cleaning your door

Rinse your door with a bucket of clear water to remove the dust. With a non-abrasive sponge, wash the door with a cleaning product type « wax-soap » as used to wash your car and rinse off. (Follow the instructions on the bottle). Avoid abrasive cleaning agents or strong liquids and never use high pressure washers (Kärcher).

Cleaning the rubber seals and the bottom of the door

We recommend you clean them with an all-purpose detergent for vinyl (the same you use for your outdoor furniture). Then, rinse well with a water hose. Lubricate them once every three months (or more often depending on frequency of use) with a silicone-based product.

Lubrification of the rails, hinges, rollers and springs

Use the lubricant WD40 to lubricate rollers and hinges, especially in the curve of the rail. Do the same for the springs. Spray and wipe with a cloth; you will thus extend the life of your springs.

Quick tip
