How To Lubricate Your Noisy Garage Door (Goodbye, SQUEAKS!)

Do you have a noisy garage door that is loud enough to wake the dead? In this video I show how easy it is to quiet a loud squeaky garage door. If you lubricate your noisy garage door about once a year, it'll stay quiet and last much longer. Garage doors don't have to be so loud when they operate, and the process to quiet a loud door is really easy. Make your squeaky garage door a thing of the past by following this simple step-by-step guide that will only take about 15 minutes to complete. A quiet door is one that also lasts longer, so keep your garage door running smooth and quiet for years to come.

It appears there is some disagreement about what is actually the best lubricant to use for garage doors. Multiple garage door manufacturers and repair technicians have suggested a light spray-on lithium-based lubricant is the best. Others have said that a silicone-based lubricant is better. Still others have suggested a 3-in-1 lubricant marketed specifically for garage doors (it's also silicone-based). One person even suggested used motor oil was the best... but everyone agrees that regular old WD-40 is NOT the thing to use here. So use whatever you like for the lubrication, just not regular WD-40. I still prefer a white lithium-based spray lubricant, but a silicone-based one is a great choice as well.

[@joelhunton8600]

I used the (blaster) white lithium spray, as you suggested. I even used it on squeaky lawn mower wheels, handle and height adjustment knobs. It seems to work better than the silicon spray.

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

Not sure who built your house but it must be really poorly constructed if the garage door wakes up the whole house 😂😂

[@AmplifyDIY]

@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 One bedroom shares a wall with the garage. Before lubricating the door, it was pretty loud in there. Can't hear it at all any more.

[@AmplifyDIY]

I would not use anything that you cannot spray on.

[@alanrcrews]

Sadly, you must consider the viscosity of your lubricant, based on temperatures, and the resulting service life...

Thanks for this comprehensive video. Had my door serviced a couple years ago when the springs broke, and the guy lubed it up and it was quiet as can be, but slowly over the past couple of years, has gotten quite loud. I got a can of white lithium spray, lubed it up and it was MUCH quieter. For some reason, I would not even have thought about lubricating the inner hinges, until I saw the video. I also noticed that when the door had about a foot of travel left while closing, it was rubbing against the track on one side near the top. I was able to loosen the bolts and move the track/bracket out just enough, 1/4 inch or so, to eliminate that. Thank goodness for elongated holes in the track bracket :) I have a screw drive, so I lubed the screw too. The before and after is AMAZING.

Just did this to my garage door after watching this video, and the decrease in noise when opening and closing was massive! It went from the sound of demons escaping the lower regions to pretty must just the soft whirr of the opener motor.

[@douglasthrelfall5318]

Great video & very informative. I was always told by garage door repair people to use a “light” oil like “3 & 1” or a similar low viscosity motor oil. They were concerned about thickness & said never use regular grease. I was always in a very dusty environment for the garage doors (auto body shop) and the wheels/tracks would accumulate sanding dust and really hamper door operation. We would clean the tracks & wheels with a fast evaporating solvent (brake parts cleaner, “fast” lacquer thinner, etc.) twice a year and then lube the axles/wheels/hinges with a light oil. The lithium grease sounds like a great idea, especially since you a “nozzle it” exactly where you want it to go. Overall, great video and very informative & educational.

[@AmplifyDIY]

That's a great point - and one I probably should have pointed out a bit more. The noise level difference is REALLY noticeable. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your door!

[@TheMrTTT]

A 10db drop is half the volume of sound.

[@meburdick1]

@@TheMrTTT That's really a "rule of thumb" that applies to what is termed Perceived Volume as opposed to measure volume or measure Sound Pressure Level. In other words, your brain believes that the volume has been dropped by about 50% when the actual, measured drop is 10dB. Part of that belief is because other ambient noises are masking parts of the original sound that it couldn't mask before the reduction, removing more of it from being able to perceived than what was actually removed from the source.

Been in the garage door business just over 20 years. You did a great job with video.

But sucks when you get on drywall it stinks and makes a mess on the door itself. Been using wd40 white lithium last few yrs and will not go back ..

Great vid, good clear pronunciation and explanations.

Being able to service the door yourself (save money) and prolong its life (save more money) are perhaps even better than the noise.

[@nigelw598]

Hi, I was recommended by my door installer to always use a dry lube like a Silicon or Teflon spray. I use the WD40 Silicon spray and highly recommend it. My door is silent and the parts are as clean as the day it was installed over 15 years ago and I don’t have to clean before spraying because there is no dirt/grease attracted build up. It’s a very heavy 6 metre wide and tall sectional door that goes up and down at least half a dozen times a day. Gets sprayed about every two years, the roller bearings, roller axle slides, motor parts, chain, hinges etc. Hope it helps, Cheers 🍻

[@claudebieniek385]

20 year garage door service technician, DO NOT lubricant the end of your springs!!!!! They are a compression fit, the lube can work its way in and cause your spring to spin off the cone, know from experience I took a winding bar to the mouth when I was a rookie because I lubed the end of the spring. Plus the ends are considered dead coils since they don’t move. All they do is secure the spring to the cones. Your garage door is the largest moving object in your house. Next to electricity it is also the most dangerous please be careful

[@cronicjointpain1]

But should you lube the middle? I read somewhere something similar. They said not to lube the last 5 coils on each side. Or should I just avoid lubing the spring all together?

[@TechnologyRescue]

Any suggestions on how to wash, strip old gunk out, dirt etc from a 23 years old garage door? It's pretty dirty and I think, what's the point of lubing on top of dirt.

[@privateagent]

​@@TechnologyRescueI've read that brake cleaning oil removes a lot of gunk

[@anthonyhitchings1051]

if you lube an exteral torsion spring, excess lube may drip on the frot ace of your door

[@jamesharber7820]

After greasing it double wrap it with burlap; or modify a round down spout to fit loosely around it and partially cap it’s ends and attach them to the spring’s end support to prevent any noise.

[@bricemacaluso8361]

I've use petroleum jelly (yeah, it's in the health and beauty aisles) on both springs and pulley wheels and it's much quieter and excess can be wiped off but doesn't need to be as it doesn't drip everywhere

[@chandlerjones9150]

Garage Door Technician here... while it may be a good idea to LIGHTLY lubricate the springs, you do not want to soak them. Over time this may actually cause the spring to slip off of the cone (the end piece that locks the spring in place). While repairing and servicing garage doors, I have actually seen this happen multiple times from over lubrication. Once those springs slip off, you lose all tension and this will mean replacing the springs...

[@AmplifyDIY]

Good tip, thanks!
