Today, I just received my spray can of white lithium grease. It's made by WD-40, but, it is not the regular WD-40 oil in the blue can. It is in a black can. It cost $5.23, including tax, on Amazon. I sprayed it on all moving parts of my cheap Romac door. It is still noisy, but there is a definite improvement in the noise level. Well worth doing, and it may make the door last longer.

Did it all
I downloaded an app to measure sound from the App store. Then I did a few things to my door.
1. Installed insulation 65-67 Db $116 Lowe's 2 kits 2. Installed new nylon rollers with sealed bearings. 64-65 Db $24 Lowe's 3. Installed new springs and balanced door (mine were 11 years old) 64-65 Db $110 4. Installed Chamberlain B1381 opener 57-58 Db $287 (Lowe's on sale) I did not think to measure at the start and I did all the labor myself. Nothing was super hard to do, just took time. THANK YOU YOUTUBE The springsI I got from Express Garage Door.They would have been $77 at Lowe's but I was not sure what size I needed and Lowe's did not sell the winding rods that were included at Express. I did lube everything when finished. There are some dangerous things listed above so don't try some of them unless you are mechanically inclined. |
