You can use the spray on your garage door rollers also...

Spray the springs also once a year at least. Will extend the life of the springs.

If it a new door, call warranty. Ours had to be replaced due to faulty installation.

We had to also have warranty out, I believe replaced the rollers. Always make sure your tracks are clean before spraying silicone. Could be you just have alot of "stuff" in the tracks like sand, etc...

Called warranty and they did all that stuff twice, still not easy. We will try the spray.

Better stock up on rollers for when the warranty runs out!

It could also be that the frame was not installed square. Measure the frame to ensure it is square. If square, then measure the door to ensure it is square. If the frame is not square, the door will bind.
