Top 4 Winter Garage Door Problems Number 4

4.) Excess grease / thickening of grease.

Symptoms: Garage door has trouble going up and down or will not go up and down. (Similar to contracting metal symptoms)

Solution: If a garage door has grease in the tracks the cold weather can make this grease thicken up and make the door unable to travel or not travel smoothly.  It is not recommended to put grease in the tracks in cold climates because of this reason.  Depending on how extensive the problem is sometimes it may be necessary to replace the vertical tracks and rollers to combat this problem.
