What type of care and maintenance is necessary for my steel garage door and hardware?
Ranch House Doors recommends washing your steel door at least one time per year. To clean your pre-finished, steel garage door, mix one cup of mild detergent (containing less than 0.5% phosphate) with five gallons of warm water. Wipe down the door’s surface with a soft cloth, washing behind the weatherstrips on the sides and top of the door. When you are finished removing any dirt and debris from the door, dry the door using slightly damp drying towel.
We also recommend lubricating your rollers and hinges on a yearly basis. Inspect springs and cable for wear each year. Contact your local dealer if you suspect any damage.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR YOUR GARAGE DOOR ON YOUR OWN AS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH CAN OCCUR.
