- PrecisionDoor.net provides a detailed instructional on how to properly lubricate a garage door. Invest the 7 minutes to watch the video and we promise you'll be lubricating your garage door like a pro.
The best garage door lubrication video you will find on TH-cam!
I was not prepared for this sense of humor in a home improvement video. Thank you so much, brother.
This is a huge garage door franchise.
This was a great video. No bs, no fluff and just a bit of humor.
Derek Zimmer Could not have imagined a better, more professional presentation with greater explanations. Thank you!
Also, if you have metal rollers, I'd highly recommend swapping them out for the white, sealed nylon rollers he shows in this vid. A complete set can be had for less than $20, and they are MUCH quieter rolling up and down in your metal tracks. Great video!
Best garage door lube video ever. Love the humor thrown in, too. Excellent job, guys!
I agree, the humor is fun
I didn’t know that
WOW! This has to be the best done how-to-video I have ever seen. Kudos to Derek and the script writers!
Thank you!
Love this! Why can't all home DIY videos be like this. A little creativity, nice production value - shite, we need to have an Oscar ceremony for DIY videos, this one would be on the list!
One of the best how-to videos on TH-cam
Service tech here with PGDS. I just found this video and I love it. I would recommend this to some of our customers when we are completed if they feel like they may forget where to spray down their door. A simple QR Code on our stickers that we place, that redirects to this would be amazing. Much love from Atlanta Franchise.
Best presentation I've seen on Lubrication you garage door! Right to the point and easy to understand! Great job!

tony - so some other comments claim you should NOT use lithium or silicon because it attracts dirt and dust. How did this work for you as you put this comment a year ago??? Thanks. We live in Michigan so freezing temps are an issue.
Try Bacon grease it works

Lynne Pope I use a Dow lubricant that has teflon. No mess and works great!
Man, I wish videos like this were out for all DIY. Visual solutions and very informative. I also learnt something new about powder coating. :)
And you learned how to enhance the flavor of your breakfast
Learned
lucyferina "Learnt" is more common in Britain.
@@suebelzer6536 Okay. However, when dismantled, it is quite nonsensical.
I mean, let's use some other examples: burn/burned/burnt - learn/learned/learnt - concern/concerned/concernt - govern/governed/governt?
Edit- Ahh... Maybe it works for you weirdos ;-) when using only single syllable words.... mean/meaned/meant? 8-)
Can someone clarify this for me?
@@anonymouse7011 I'm not sure what is confusing. British usage? Irregular verbs?
your sense of humour makes having to do this chore less intimidating. I'm going to have to skip WD on the cereal though. My Dr recommended I use another type of cleanse.
Butt the WD makes things come out better in the end!
Whiskey?
You recommend whiskey? Could work...
Mindy Jones another type of cleanse? Enema? 😂
Mindy Jones alcohol and methane fumes...yeah! That would work...and how! 😂
Thanks for the useful and humorous video. Your company did not install my new home door in NPR, but you will be my first call when service is needed. And thanks for working to debunk the use and misuse of WD-40 (water dispursing) solvent. It is not a lube oil!
I’ve never commented a video before (and I’ve watched many) but this is an excellent and thorough tutorial! Thank you so much!
The best infomercial I have seen in years... Great advice, great humor, thank you!
This is a fairly old video but still has great information that I can use today 20190708. This is not the first time that I've heard that wd40 is NOT a good lubricant. Great video.
For those who might not know, when uisng a straw on a can, the splash-back factor is increased, suggest using some eye cover and long sleeve shirts, old long sleeve shirts.
+Dan Lo Fat good tip...... thumbs up!

Great video! Have watched several times and I don't even have a garage door! Waiting for the sequel!
I just had my garage door replaced by Precision and am really happy with the door install that they did. I had one of their own garage door openers in addition to the door. It is really an Linear P800 product but Precisions name is on it. The opener is a belt drive unit and I can hardly hear the door opening and closing now. What a difference from my old worm drive Genie! I highly recommend this company and the products that they sell.
just fixed my embarrassingly loud door for $3 thanks to this video!
Do you know how long I've been searching for this information?.. Finally found this video with the search term, Can I oil my Garage door
Thank you!! I have lubricated the track now I will clean it!! The rest I was doing right with the lithium spray.
5 stars!!!! it took me 10 minutes and my door is super quiet now..... THANKS PGD
This video is spot on... I reduced the noise my brand new garage door makes by 50% easily just by doing what's in the video.
Derek, you should have your own television show. Like that cheeky sense of humour and knowledge. If I was in America I’d even use you to repair my garage door
I love the humor, FYI - Powdered Coated springs can only be sprayed on not dipped,
A great video. The guy doing it was GREAT!👍👏👌
Thank you. You made something, that can be puzzling, simple and easy to understand. Helped me realize some mistakes I’ve made in the past and ways to correct them. Your presentation is a model for others.
Thank you! So nicely put together and the presenter is delightful!
As most others mentioned ...great video. I'd also highly recommend homeowners ensure all "bolts", used to secure the garage panels, track, assembly, etc., are properly tightened. Regardless, if door made of wood or metal, one should inspect all "bolts" ..and, if loose, tighten, but be careful not to overtighten! The fasteners a.k.a. bolts work themselves loose over time & doing an annual inspection ...in addition to proper lubrication, are important. Also, if you unable to securely tighten a bolt due to being "stripped out", try filling hole w/ a few toothpicks & break off at surface then tighten ...AGAIN, don't over muscle when do'in.
Thanks so much. It told me everything I was looking for and that I need to clean up those tracks that I mistakenly greased a few years back!!
Great advice. Did as you said. The garage doors are MUCH quieter now. Thanks!
thanks. this video is useful.do you recommend to use this type of garage door?
You're my heroes! Thanks for making this video!!
Great 👍 job explaining all the do n don’ts of every single part on garage doors. I’m one of those folks guilty of applying grease to my track. Cleaned off all grease n wiped it down with WD 40. Thanks 🙏 and have a nice day
Excellent video. Thank you.
One safety feature I would add is to wear safety goggles, not glasses. Spraying into small channels have a nasty way of, sometimes, redirecting the spray into one's eyes. I discovered this decades ago spraying carburetor cleaner into a, what else, carburetor port. I was careful to turn the carburetor 90 degrees from my face when I sprayed. Didn't know that that particular port exited at 90 degrees and the spray coated my face. Lesson learned, the hard way.
Great video, very helpful and entertaining too. Thank you
thank you so much this really did help me fix my garage door!!! did exactly what you said and everything worked out perfect thank you again!
This video was absolutely fantastic. Great information (exactly what I was looking for) but the added personality and humor made it watchable as well. Well done Precision!
Ha! Nice work dude! I know this video is 10 yrs old, but was refreshing and informative! You should teach (assuming you are still around) presentation skills. Anyone looking to solve this problem should start and end right here!
Love it! Fun, but also packed with very useful information. Thank you Precision Door.
Excellent video. The Presenter was was great & very well cast. Is he an actor &/or an actual Garage Door Tech?
Probably...nope, definitely one of the most informative yet FUNNY videos on maintaining a garage door. Job WELL DONE. Thank you! And keep it up
Great video and I enjoyed your sense of humor. It took a somewhat dry topic and made it fun and enjoyable to watch while learning.
Funny! THANK You! This video was useful!

Great job! We've been going through torsion springs every 3-4 yrs, so needless to say, I'm out to grease the spring (and all the associated parts). Hope to have a quiet and longer lasting spring from here on out!
Wow. Wonder why. I just had my torsion springs replaced on a heavy all wood door. One of them broke after 43 years. Now I'm going to lubricate everything and get it quieter. Service tech didn't do that unfortunately.
Very informative, to the point with enough information to follow and FUN!!! Thank you!
This video is the best DIY I've ever seen. Thanks!
Thank you!! Was very informative and entertaining. I will be using these techniques on my garage door.

LOL...u had me going for a minute with that cereal, I was like NOOOO😳don’t eat that😁!! Great video, VERY helpful...thx for posting!!!
Great video on lubing your garage door. I have seen many videos that talk about lubing the track. You are correct do not lube the track. The wheels are ment to roll not slide on the track, Good Job
I work as a garage door technician, and I gotta say, that lithium grease spray dries up and causes the door to get stuck sometimes. We don't use silicone based lubricants. The oil based shown on the left works well. Doesn't leave a mess and doesn't dry up like the lithium grease does.
One of the best DYI videos on the net. Great job and it was a bit funny, yet informative. There are some lubricants on the market which are especially made for garage doors that cost more than lithium spray. Which do you prefer and/recommend? Thanks in advance.
Amazing! After 12 years of steadily increasing groaning, screeching, and grinding (they all do that, right?), it's almost now dead silent. I'm a believer. Now I plan to lube it every 6 mos.
Wow! This is seriously one of the best DIY videos on TH-cam.
Clear, easily understood direction with a bit of humor sprinkled in. Nice Work Precision Door! I now need to go back and do the maintenance on my garage doors correctly but I’m okay with that...
I installed many doors in my 20 years. I miss it good video door guy
great production! thanks so much for sharing this info, as you've pointed out very common mistakes, as well as more in depth, detailed information regarding the chemical properties of hardware and pm applications (i.e. double-coated torsion springs, lithium, silicone, etc). yikes! torsion springs, I get jumpy whenever I have to adjust those things!! thanks, again!
Very complete and clear. Really fun to watch, love the humor. Thanks!
Thanks, Derek! Like Mindy said, your presentation made the chore less intimidating. Also, there were lots of spots I would have missed (That's why I looked for a video.) Much appreciated!
Incredibly informative. Thanks, nice humor adds as well.
Just id this to m y garage door for the first time (installed 10 years ago). What a difference!!
Good video! Very helpful. This is what I come to youtube to watch.
This was in my recommended this morning and what is totally weird about that is I haven't done any searches on the subject on my phone or computer, but I was thinking to myself this morning as my wife left for work that the garage door was getting pretty noisy and I needed to do something about it. I've had the chain break on a garage door once before at a place we were renting. It was either the chain or the spring, I don't remember exactly. I do know however, that I would rather spend the little bit of money for some lithium spray lube instead of a garage door repair. Thank you for this timely (for me) video. Which I'm still trying to figure out exactly how that happened.
Nice informative video for the DIY homeowner & maintenance of the OH garage door.... Tks...
I agree with the other comments about torsion springs (and, for that matter, any coil springs designed to support more than 50 pounds). The amount of potential energy stored in these springs while under load can maim or kill if released quickly. In my opinion, anywhere these springs are installed should have a DANGER! warning sticker nearby, similar to those for electrical hazards.
Some double torsion spring's don't use steel bearing but use a plastic disc in the center. If you hear a chirping spray between the spring's. The plastic disc can make that sound when the shaft is turning.
Very Very useful tips, well explained, including hacks about the springs, thank you!
@5:10 - Wait, wait, wait! Tape some plastic or painter's paper BEHIND that spring BEFORE your start spraying the goop all over the place! Or, would you rather trash the paint and wall?
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Just did this for our super-squeaky doors. Problem solved! Thank so much for the good intel, and for making it fun to watch too.
Thank you! What a great and informative video. Clear, succinct, and with great humour too. Could have been very boring, but I howled with laughter at times ... and learnt a great deal!
Thanks for sharing those helpful tips! Very clear & straight to the point.
Outstanding video, clear and easy to follow. Funny too, thank you! Too bad you aren’t in AZ, you would have my business!
Good video with much good information which is quite surprising for YT.Good advice about WD40; I have a can that's now about 25 - 30 years old. I haven't found many appropriate uses.
Very well produced How To Video. Thanks
Not only informational but entertaining too. Thanks!
Excellent. Well done, easy to understand and follow.
Thank you SOOO MUCH, this was extremely detailed in every aspect of what to do and what not to do, with a twist of humor. Much appreciated.
Well I learned one thing from this video. Why my garage door sounds as bad as it did before.....
Using WD-40. Thanks for a great lesson on what not to use on my garage door.
Someone who knows what the hell to do. Wonderful video my friend.
Well done video. Thank you. I routinely use compressed air to blow off the dust and cob webs from my doors.
Great video, lubricated as per video , door has never been so quiet, cereal tastes pretty good too:) thank you!
Awesome video. Thanks!!

Excellent information, funny guy! I saved this so I can come back to it when it is time to lube my garage door.
Loved this tutorial..very informative with a sense of humor! I would just add
. Wear safety glasses.. the lithium spray really splashed!
.if you're a neat-nic like me, put down a drop cloth
This was good in the fact he covered both types of openers. It was a little lacking in my 'view ' because he told us where to grease, but showed the full area without little arrows to pinpoint exactly where the grease should be placed. Specifically at time location 6:15 - 6:30. But I did hit 'like'.
Good job, J, you found something to criticize.
@@BloominOnion1 You're welcome. I guess it takes all kinds of bloomin idiots to not know the difference between critiquing & outright criticizing. If I may point out as well, I did say I liked the video, and tagged the thumbs up icon. But now that I know how much of a snowflake sensitivity you hold, I will be very careful not to view your videos.
@@j.morrison73 No pun intended, but it sounds like garage door repair might be over your head. "Snowflake sensitivity"? Bruh, what are you even talking about? You are complaining because he didn't show "little arrows" in his useful, free video. He spelled it all out for you and you're gonna complain about the lack of "little arrows"? C'mon dude
@@BloominOnion1 I know you are biased, but take another look at both your comments as well as mine. Bye snowflake.
The third, much more friendly Salamanca twin who never broke bad.
I like the sense of humor! Good job
Great advice. Saved eighty nine dollars! Thanks!
Good sense of humor. Thank you!
Excellent video, thanks so much!!!! My understanding has been improved at least 50%.
In a lot of cases on older doors I would clean the old gunk off BEFORE lubing with fresh, new grease, otherwise you are just greasing up your old "grinding compound".
Informative, well explained, and entertaining...great presentation.
Very good - and comprehensive video! Thanks! 👍🏼👍🏼
The presentation was great, Gus. I like your NY accent too. (Long Island?) Could be a north Jersey accent. The company jingle sounds like it's from the '70s.
Thanks for such a informative breakdown. Also for keeping it light heated for such a bland topic.
May be an old video but it is great! Thank you!
The video was very helpful with a nice bit of jokes. I appreciate it.
I don't have a garage door yet, but if I ever get one, I'll know what to do. Thanks and Great video...
