Smart Ways to Maintain Your Wooden Garage Door


When it comes to choosing a garage door type, most of us go for wooden ones. They are elegant and come in a variety of options to choose from.
Although wooden garage doors are flawless in terms of looks and functionality, they demand a bit extra care and attention from you!
Here is how you can keep your wooden garage door in proper working order for many years to come:
1. Protection from Weather: Something to worry about wooden garage doors is their high susceptibility to damage done by rain water. Even if your garage door is not fully exposed, water can easily reach it and cause the wood to decay, especially after heavy downpour in rainy season.
Tip: Have whatever it takes to ensure protection against water handy! The best way is to paint the door at least once every year.
2. Regular Examination: Large, single-piece wooden garage doors can often be seen sagging from the middle over time. If you are regular with inspection and maintenance, it’s a small fix-up. Ignored, however, this small issue can become more serious on a later stage.
Tip: Make sure full sunlight can’t directly make it to the garage door.
3. Essential Repair and Do-ups: It’s mandatory to check all the parts of your garage door at least once a year. There are components like rollers, springs and hinges that wear down due to frequent use on daily bases. Ensure they are all well in place and properly lubricated. Consider taking expert help if something is really serious.

4. Timely Replacement: When there is negligible scope for repairs, don’t hesitate to get the door replaced! Make sure you hire a reputed professional for a flawless job!
