Suggestion: Every 4 months, have a small tag on door for a reminder. Run the door up and down, use a semi stiff brush to do the rollers and guides and springs. As door goes up and down. spray a small amount of WD ON the pins holding the runners. Wipe off excess. On the springs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,LEAVE THEM ALONE YOU ARE NOT A DOOR SPECIALIST. also CHECK WITH MVP DOORS, THEY ARE ON rolling acres, AND WILL GIVE GOOD ADVICE. YOU CAN BE HURT BADLY BY PRETENDING TO BE A DOOR INSTALLER. also STAY AWAY FROM THE OCCASIONAL MECHANIC COMING AROUND. BE SAFE.

I read somewhere to NOT use WD40 but to use LITHIUM GREASE SPRAY on door parts/tracks/rollers because WD40 is mostly water.
