Is your garage door making a squeaky noise? After watching this video, you’ll know all the tips and tricks to properly lubricate your garage door like a pro! This garage door maintenance should be performed every six months, or as recommended by your garage door supplier.
- Remove any cars from the garage.
- Make sure the garage door is closed and disengage the door from the opener for safety.
- Use a white lithium grease based lubricant to lubricate all the hinges, springs, bearings, rollers, and pivot points, as shown in this video. See below for some links to good garage door lubricants.
- Don’t oil the tracks. Rather, clean them using a rag.
- Once these simple tasks are completed, simply open and close the garage door a couple of times to work the lubricant in all the moving parts.

thank so much! our door is loud enough to wake the dead. unbelievable i know.
Thank you so much for your video !! Living alone and maintaining your own house is a job. But with people like you helping the "damsel" in distress plus everyone else is wonderful!!! It was easy to follow and my door sounds like new again!!!
Thank you again !!! 😊
Thanks for the feedback Susie! How did you discover my channel by the way?
My automatic garage door installed almost a year ago started making a lot of squeaking noises already so I ordered up some 3-In-One and my first search for a tutorial brought me to a familiar face, Pan, one of my favorite detailing gurus. 👍
💪🏻👍🏻
Wish I would have seen this video a lot sooner. We have lived in our home for little 3 years and have yet to lube the door. Time to get to work. 😂
Your garage door will thank you! Have a good weekend Ricardo!
Thank you for this video. I was victim of price gouging a few years ago by a garage door company who charged me $196 for doing what you have shown in the video. I am able to do this myself now that I know how.
Expert-level demo edited really well, fast tasks, easy to follow -- and not a ton of begging to like and subscribe. Thank you for respecting my time! I hate that esp. when I'm watching something I feel dumb not figuring out myself. Big thumbs up.
Thanks Lisa!
Great video! The door is significantly quieter now. I'll be sure to perform the procedure on a regular basis. Thanks!
Thanks a bunch! Typed in UA-cam 'How to grease your garage door' and 4 minutes later going to do it for the 1st time. Fast and easy )))
You're welcome!
I had the lubricant but didn't know exactly where to apply it. Thanks to your video I was able to lubricate the garage door this evening. It is so wonderful not to hear those awful squeaks and screeches when I put the garage door up or down. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
I just replaced a 10 year old screw drive (circuit board died) with a belt drive and amazing how much quieter it is. I was just about to Grease the rails so glad I ran into your video on UA-cam... also didn't think about the hinges across the door itself. Thanks for the quick and easy fix!
Thanks for the comment Tony!
How did you discover my channel?
Thank you! Didn’t even think of the garage door. I was checking out how to clean the washing machine when I noticed the garage door section! So happy I found you. Yes, of course I subscribed!
Thanks Robin!
Just want to say, thanks for bringing to my attention the track. I pretty religiously lube all components to keep her running smoother. Noticed recently is was actuating a little jerky jerky, so I searched for a demo on YT (led me here), and realize I never lube the track. Laid a good application of lube on the tracks and she’s buttery smooth. Thanks!
Exactly what I needed. I was missing that black spring at the top! I've been dealing with a squeaky garage door forever, thank you so much for this post!
Same here. Finally a helpful video on squeaky garage doors.
Thanks Pan. This is the second time I am replacing my torsion springs. From now on, I will not forget to lubricate.
Glad my video could help!
How much does it cost to replace torsion springs?
@@ibanezgeorge I think its a few hundred dollars for a pro. You dont want to do it yourself, even if you found a place to buy them. That amount of tension can do some damage to a person.
Clearly, my garage door needed lubrication at installation! Thanks for the nice video!❤
Pan, great advise. This I think is the most forgotten part of having a garage, especially in colder climates like we have. As always keep up the great work.
Thanks Todd! As usual, your input and comments are always appreciated. And yup, that's one of the main reasons for this video, is to educate people on the proper steps to take and more importantly, how easy it actually is to perform yourself as a nice DIY 5 minute project. With only one tool really needed (white lithium grease or a dedicated garage door lubricant) it makes a world of a difference on the smooth operation of the garage door.
As many "car guys" are on my channel, I think this video will benefit them directly. ;)
Advice
Thanks for this video. I would greatly advise wearing a face mask for the fumes from this product but otherwise ...great video.
Thank you for your video and clear instructions. The tennant that lives above my detached garage will sleep better now that I lubrcated the two garage doors below him. I open one door at 0530 every weekday morning when I depart for the gym. I appreciate the quieter sound.
You are welcome!
Well well well. I was watching another video and then this one started autoplaying in the background... I knew I recognized that voice! Subscribed because I'm always going to trust your advice when it comes to cleaning or maintaining something (anything). You're by far the most meticulous person I've ever encountered when it comes to that sort of stuff!

Thank you! I've asked my husband to do this over and over. Three years later, your video show me what to use and all the places to spray.
Thanks for the feedback Rachelle!
I just watched your video and performed this maintenance on my door. EUREKA! Close to silence and the action is 100% smoother. No more bounce at the end either.
Thank you Pan for your valuable tips. First time home owner with garage door that squeaks - but no more!!
Thanks Joe!

Thank you for the informative and quick video! Maintenance supervisor here, property manager called garage door company and I had to run out there to grease it up. Saved my company thousands!
Glad it helped!
This was so helpful! Should have watched before I tried to do this, the white lithium grease I purchased in a tube didn't work well at all.
Oh my. I'm so glad I happened upon your channel..I really needed this advice. I'm going to get right out there and get it done, just as soon as I can get the lubricant. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the feedback Linda! How did you discover my channel?
@@PanTheOrganizer I just happened to be looking on You Tube and it came up...By the way, I got the lubricant and I used it on my garage door. So much better. Thanks again. I ordered the lub from ebay.com Professional Garage Door Lubricant with Smart Straw Spray 2 WAYS Fast Dry 11 OZ.
Thank you for this video. You are complete in-process - AND straight to the point. Your recommendation work like a charm.
Thanks Xavier! How did you discover my channel?
@@PanTheOrganizer - I did a search for "garage door lub application" and your video popped up.
Your video was nicely presented, you spoke slow enough so the viewer could retain the video information. Lastly buy showing the exact areas that need to be lubricated it eliminated the guess work. Thanks
Thanks for the positive feedback Wayne! I appreciate it. I work hard to produce all my videos (in English and French too) so it's nice to see my viewers highlight that!

Thank you. I literally did the exact opposite on the door at my new home. Growing up our tracks were always heavily greased, and my new home had a brand new door installed that was LOUD and extremely squeaky and all that. I bought a tube of garage door grease and hit the tracks only, and nothing changed. Defeated, I gave up in anger. I just opened it again and I had to find out what exactly to lube. I'm not sure why I didn't think to spray the hinges and whatnot. Sounds much better.
Just purchased your recommended grease! Thank you for this video!! My garage door has been so noisy so I'm hoping this helps!

Love your videos. I did this and found it to be much quieter. Still having noise, I went ahead and sprayed the length of the screw drive which made it super quite.

Thanks we're moving in our new build home, good to know
OMG... I don't mine has been maintained in over 12 years... Thanks for your video! Will work on this right away!
Wait, so I should have done this 30 times since we had the new garage built! I feel very lucky that I didn't learn that until now but: Thank you, sir! The garage door was all of a sudden opening only half-way, whenever my wife tried to open it and after watching this I was able to solve the problem in the time it took to grill dinner, so thank you! As long as I grill every six months (a given), I should be in good shape. Thanks, Pan!
Glad I could help!

Thank you Sir for the information. Take care.
In watching Garage Door installers they say to not lubricate the spring where it connects to the cones. It is best to stay an inch or so away. It could cause the spring to slip on the cones. One other point is I’m not sure why you are lubing the contact points for the set screws that hold the cones and spools on the bar.
Excellent!!!....Simple and concise....Easy peasy...Thanx...
Nicely done as always Pan. Enjoying your videos. Going to maintain my own garage doors today.
Thanks Lee!

Thanks for the how-to. I still have a bit of a catch when closing. I looked at the inside of the rails and and I see a bit of stress shininess that coincides when the door snags. Do you have a video on how to adjust the roller clamps (?) for realignment? And how much play should there be? Sorry for all the questions. (Debbie)
