What Is the Best Lubricant for a Garage Door?
A well-lubricated garage door runs smoother, quieter, and lasts longer. The best lubricants are silicone spray for nylon or plastic rollers and humid conditions, and white lithium grease for metal parts under heavy friction.
Popular choices include WD-40 Specialist White Lithium Grease, 3-IN-ONE Professional Garage Door Lubricant, Blaster Garage Door Lubricant, and CRC Heavy Duty Silicone Lubricant.
Apply lubricant to rollers, hinges, springs, and locks every 6 months, cleaning parts first and using it sparingly to avoid buildup. Avoid regular WD-40, motor oil, or automotive grease, as these can attract dirt and cause wear. Proper lubrication prevents rust, reduces noise, and extends your garage door’s lifespan.
