Best Garage Door Lubricants - (HINT) It's NOT the brand you know.

[@lidsr7896]

SOS is awesome, he has done maintenance and installed new garage opener for me and my father. He does great work, honest and showed me how to do the maintenance myself.

[@sosgds]

Thank you!

[@Shannon-ij1pm]

Thank you for your post. I bought a can of the SuperSlickSlickStuff. It does have a pleasant scent and I appreciate the short straw like applicator. It still comes out rather forceful and does splatter a bit, so have some paper towel handy when applying.

[@BjornV78]

I have always used those little handpumps and fill them with engine oil (10W40 or 5W10). In the past i used White grease spray, but that leaves a mess behind, and attracts dust.

[@halffast7799]

This is probably the best thing to do actually.

Hello, this is a great video! Can you tell me the name of the song that is playing in the background? I wasn't able to identify it on the Uppbeat music link that you provided.

[@ericordemann5806]

Would be great if you made a video showing all your favorite lube points on a door assembly or did I miss that on here?!

[@sosgds]

We can make that happen!

[@garagedoorgenius]

Nice work buddy! 🙏 Getting your editing game up there. That makes me excited! 👊🏼💯

[@sosgds]

Thank you my friend! You have inspired me to up my game! Hope we can collab soon.

So, the comparison of the products was good and many of the other comments are good. But, what I would also like to know is - if I am in the store looking for a lubricant - short of spraying a little bit out - how would I identify a more "liquidy" type product vs a more "foamy" type product? Is there a specific ingredient in the product that make the difference? Appreciate the information and suggestions.

[@sosgds]

Hello! Yes indeed! The silicone lubricants will spray on runny and can drip. I like to apply these types of lubricants by starting on the top roller and just let it drip down. This can save you lube as you apply less on the other rollers. The lithium based lubricants will leave a sticky film along the rollers. If you cheaper rollers then I would use a lithium based lube. If you have a bearing roller, silicone lubes all day.

[@Randall-kr3gm]

@@sosgds outstanding! Thanks, I appreciate the clarification for me.

[@joannewu6394]

I use the 3in1 kind and the smell is not great but quiets down my door and opener well

[@sabugdalantx]

How long did the smell last for you?

[@Morganwmahan]

What's ptfe?

[@sosgds]

Polytetrafluoroethylene ... aka Teflon.

[@mtnbikerva1]

I live in the midatlantic. Is there a best brand or model garage door company or model that is not for people that make 100k or more a year? I care more about quality/ durability vs color or style.Is a steel the best quality/strength/durability/non rust... Or do some brands and models very greatly? I need 2 smaller/normal garage doors. Opener quality? Clear winner and looser/crap? Thank you.

[@sosgds]

Hello. These are great questions. Mid-America might be big in your area. Hauus Doors are very sought after also. I prefer C.H.I. and Wayne Dalton for a custom made door.

[@jesusfreakster101]

Thank you sir for this review!

[@johnwhite2576]

How could you miss testing Blaster garage door lubricant? Same results as get some and super slick but 50-75 less price!! $5 vs 11 or 15$!

[@sosgds]

Hey John! Great suggestion. I do like some of the Blaster products. Maybe I will have to do a versus video between the two lubricants. Stay safe party person!

[@jdjohnson]

I tell people to use the one by 3n1 garage door lube. How do you think that stacks up. Reason why I recommend is because you can find it at the hardware stores reliability and 3n1 has been around for a while with a prominent brand, never really tested it out like this.

[@sosgds]

Hey Justin! Thanks for the great question. Yes I have used it. I find the smell to be a bit harsh. Some customers have complained about it. So when I use the Super Slick Slick or GS1000 they don't complain as much. It's strange but it's a common complaint I get.

[@bjennings1966]

Anybody have a trick keep the drips off your car? I have waited several hours before bringing the car back in. I've tried wiping the screw drive when finished lubing, but its so messy. All these videos show nice clean garages so I know you're not making a mess. What's the secret??

[@vitalsteve1]

wipe everything down as you spray.. super thin coatings are the best

[@sosgds]

Hello! Great question! I prefer to wipe down after applying on the hinges. Yet I mainly focus on spraying the rollers. I also prefer to use a dry lube as it does not run as much.

[@fiouable]

I can’t find any, any of these lube in my region

[@sosgds]

Wow! Really? Not even on Amazon?

[@mtnbikerva1]

Dupont chain saver lube is a dry kind of wax lube, may be better than all these.

[@andrewm1346]

best oil out there is 3 and 1 Garage door oil. Last the entire can, and has 2 spray settings. Plus it has less pressure against over spray. Place on your ladder. Homeowner takes a picture, and they can pick-up at there next Home Depot visit. Always oil bottom brackets. Especially where cable connects. A big problem with salt or moisture coming thru the concrete. And this works as a rust inhibitor.

[@sosgds]

Hey Andrew! Thanks for the pro tips. I have used it. I have customers complain about the smell.

[@sabugdalantx]

@@sosgds good video, how long does the smell last on the 3 and 1? I have it on my Amazon cart right now.

[@sosgds]

Great question! Super Slick (3) does not last long but it does have a more pleasant smell. The Wayne Dalton lube (1) has a stronger smell.

[@sabugdalantx]

@@sosgds thanks

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Made by WD 40 company,

[@TBHD724]

Great video. I like the national door #400 lube. It doesn't drip or leave any residue, and it lubes really well... some doors i've used it on haven't needed to be lubed for 5 years now

[@sosgds]

Thanks for the feedback Andy! I will have to try it.

[@igorek1035]

Thank you for really useful information

[@DefensorFortis]

T9 or TEC seem to last a while

[@garagedoordoctorofhouston6518]

Another great video !

[@sosgds]

Hey CODY! Thank you for the support my friend!

[@blaynefossati7156]

All the lube in the world isn't gonna fix the tiny hinges on that 9100 😂,fellow door company here.I remember when we used to buy from the owner of get some,awesome stuff and it's food grade but due to cost we went back to blaster silicone.Great vid btw.

[@sosgds]

😂 You're not wrong! Thanks for the support!

[@eprohoda]

SOS,Hey- thanks,incredible !see ya!~ 😯

[@garypic4083]

I like using old cooking grease, it free bascially

[@sosgds]

Free works too.

[@cchat3491]

Good video. Call me a rebel but WD40 will lubricate and quiet garage door squeaks. I use it all the time on various moving metal parts and it never fails me. And NO it will not degrade rubber parts. Problem with all these specialty lube products is that you need to buy a bunch of them to have the "optimum" one for each specific problem, and these cans do have expiration dates.

[@sabugdalantx]

Be careful - if you use WD40 on your garage door parts, you'll put extra wear and tear on them. For instance, WD40 can actually soften and deform nylon rollers. Plus, it'll attract dirt and debris, making for gunked up tracks and gears, and a noisy, rickety garage door

[@fiouable]

Let’s party. 😂😂😂

[@rajparekh218]

TOO MUCH TALK .....MAKE IT MORE SUBSTANSIVE.

[@halffast7799]

WD-40 Is a Water Dispersant. Hence the WD. It was the inventers 40th attempt. W-D-40.

[@sabugdalantx]

Overtime wD 40 is not good it can destroy your rollers over time.

[@jeffhildreth9244]

They no longer use the original formula.. actually decades ago changed. Used to smell like bananas.. that was the real stuff.
