If you have noticed that anytime you open your garage door to pull into it or pull out that it makes a sharp squeaking sound, then you know something is wrong with it. But because you yourself aren't likely a garage repair professional, you may not know what to do. From adding a little bit of grease to it to calling a garage door repair company, this article will take a closer look at a couple things you can do to get rid of the squeak in your garage door. Are you ready to learn more? 

Add Grease to It

Oftentimes, a screeching garage door comes on because it needs some lubrication on it. To help lubricate your garage, first see if you can spot where the noise is coming from exactly. For instance, is it coming more from the tracks on the side, or is it coming from the motor on the top? Once you identify where it is coming from, then grab some grease like WD-40. This sort of grease is usually in an air can which makes it really easy to apply. All you have to do is apply a thin layer of it along either the tracks or the chain at the top of the garage. Just make sure that you don't apply too thick of a layer because then you may have to scrape it off. 

Call A Garage Repair Technician

If you have already tried to lubricate our garage door but you have been unsuccessful, or if you are too nervous to try it by yourself, then you can always call a garage door repair professional. When they come out to your house, they will start off by doing a full inspection of your garage to determine where the sound is coming from. Once they have found out where the sound is coming from, they can then start to make minor tweaks and adjustments to help get rid of it. Additionally, they may do a basic tune-up on your garage to prevent other things from happening to it later on. 

These are just a couple basic ways that you can get rid of a nasty, annoying, squeaking a garage door. To learn more about other ways that you can take care of your garage door, make sure that you reach out to a garage door repair professional today and ask them for some help.
