Spring maintenance checklist for your Jammer Doors

Posted

As the weather warms and spring arrives, it’s the perfect time to ensure your garage doors, entry doors, and storm doors are in top shape. After enduring the harsh winter months, your doors may have experienced wear and tear, making seasonal maintenance essential. Here’s a simple spring checklist to keep your Jammer Doors functioning smoothly and looking great:

1. Inspect for Damage

Winter weather can take a toll on doors. Check for cracks, warping, or rust, especially on garage doors and storm doors. If you notice any significant damage, it may be time for repairs or a replacement.

2. Lubricate Moving Parts

Squeaky hinges or sluggish garage doors? A little lubrication goes a long way. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to rollers, tracks, and hinges to ensure smooth operation.

3. Check Weatherstripping

The changing seasons can weaken weatherstripping, allowing drafts and moisture inside. Examine the seals around your doors and replace any that appear worn or cracked.

4. Test Safety Features

For garage doors, test the auto-reverse function by placing an object under the door. If it doesn’t reverse upon contact, the sensors may need adjustment or cleaning.

5. Clean and Refresh

Give your doors a fresh start with a thorough cleaning. Wash off dirt and debris, repaint if needed, and consider adding a protective finish to keep them looking new.

Spring is a season of renewal, and that includes your home’s doors. By following this checklist, you’ll ensure your doors remain safe, efficient, and visually appealing all year long.
