Derek, you should have your own television show. Like that cheeky sense of humour and knowledge. If I was in America I’d even use you to repair my garage door
That was a solid video. Pretty rare in the world of RUclips to get educational and engaging without going super corny.
The best garage door lubrication video you will find on RUclips!
9 years later and your video is still helpful. Thank you.
May 21, 2020. Watched your video, purchased a can of white lithium grease and greased my rollers, chain and cable. It completely worked as you instructed. Garage door opens easily where before it hung up and it’s quieter than I ever remember. Saving money doing it myself ain’t to shabby either. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I was not prepared for this sense of humor in a home improvement video. Thank you so much, brother.
This is a huge garage door franchise.
hello from 2022, i don't know who made this instructional video, but ya'll are fantastic! The little splashes of humor were gold. Exceptional information. Having issues with my garage and now i'm binging all the dyi videos.
What a great easy way to illustrate how to do simple maintenance. That guy needs a raise.
My grumpy old man neighbor (whom I adore) jovially complained about my garage door needing greasing to quiet it down. I'm so glad I watched this video instead of letting him show me. I laughed on multiple occasions. It's nice to see some personality in this video. Thank you, Precision!
This was a great video. No bs, no fluff and just a bit of humor.
This is exactly the kind of service video that definitely puts a company at the top of my list for when I have a problem outside of my realm of capability. Thank you!
I did everything recommended in this presentation and now my noisy 20-ft garage door is running smoothly and as quiet as it was when it was new. Thank you for a great instructional video.
What brand was the Lithium based grease that you used?
@@peterokpara4451 We just moved and all my shop supplies are still packed away, but I can tell you that it was a spray can with a straw on the nozzle and it was easy as pie to apply the white foamy lithium grease into the rollers and it was also easy to wipe up the excess. It probably came from a store like NAPA.
Precision is a top notch professional company and team here in Spokane.
I've watched hundreds, if not thousands of garage door lube videos.This is by far the best garage door lube video out there.Cant recommend this garage door lube video enough.Garage door lube video.
Derek Zimmer Could not have imagined a better, more professional presentation with greater explanations. Thank you!
Excellent video. The content is thorough and perfectly organized, and the technical/video execution are top-end professional. Derek's delivery is TV quality, and his personality and humor are a plus.
Good video. Thanks for the closeups on the parts you are talking about instead of just pointing in the direction of the part. It helps a lot.
Thanks. Loved the humor. Bought a Precision Door two years ago and was thinking I needed to replace a second one. After this video, the second door has a new life. But, when it finally meets it end, I will be calling you guys again!
The perfect garage door lubricating video does exist!!!
I'll echo the many accolades for Derek's professional yet fun presentation! I am grateful to him for such a good instructional video.
WOW! This has to be the best done how-to-video I have ever seen. Kudos to Derek and the script writers!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I followed all the steps, and now my old rickety garage door sounds and runs like brand new.
Seriously. This is absolutely perfect presentation. Succinct with a touch of humor. Thank you for the help!

This is the best garage door cleaning and maintenance on You Tube. Thanks for the great tips
Very very helpful and I like the humor ! Great job.
Yes, Ditto!
I used this tutorial a couple of years ago, and i'm glad it is still available for the garage door I need to lubricate in my new location. The presentation is very well done, including the humor.
W.O.W!! This guy was incredibly easy to understand, as well as even woman-friendly explaining!! THANK YOU!!
One of the best how-to videos on RUclips
Best garage door lube video ever. Love the humor thrown in, too. Excellent job, guys!
I agree, the humor is fun
I didn’t know that
Finally got around to doing some garage door maintenance. Thanks for all the pointers. I learned a lot.
Thank you so much! You didn't just say what to do but also why in easy to understand ways. You're a good teacher and a funny guy! A great combination:). Will be looking for your other videos.
This is my "go to" video for my alternate year garage door lube job. One suggestion: we have a painted garage, so I hold a piece of cardboard between the spring tension bar and the wall before spraying that long spring. Thanks for this video
Man, I wish videos like this were out for all DIY. Visual solutions and very informative. I also learnt something new about powder coating. :)
And you learned how to enhance the flavor of your breakfast
Learned
lucyferina "Learnt" is more common in Britain.
@@suebelzer6536 Okay. However, when dismantled, it is quite nonsensical.
I mean, let's use some other examples: burn/burned/burnt - learn/learned/learnt - concern/concerned/concernt - govern/governed/governt?
Edit- Ahh... Maybe it works for you weirdos ;-) when using only single syllable words.... mean/meaned/meant? 8-)
Can someone clarify this for me?
@@anonymouse7011 I'm not sure what is confusing. British usage? Irregular verbs?
I still review this video each year when I lube my garage door. Thanks Precision!
Interestingly enough, I was not looking for a tutorial on garage door maintenance but saw this to the side looking at another video and decided to watch it.
I must say that this was very informative and I found myself saying "I did not know that" in a couple of places.
Thank you very much for creating this video. Excellent information with excellent humor.
great video! - I'm a retired G.C. and learned several good tips - the gentleman certainly knows the business and very professional along with a great sense of humor. thank-you!!
Love this! Why can't all home DIY videos be like this. A little creativity, nice production value - shite, we need to have an Oscar ceremony for DIY videos, this one would be on the list!
The best infomercial I have seen in years... Great advice, great humor, thank you!
12 years later and this is still a banger instructional video. So helpful and fun.
Just watched this and I wanted to say thanks for putting it together. A little humor while still making it informative. Thanks.
Thanks for the tips! you kept it educational and loved just the right amount of humor the information was delivered with.
As a former garage door opener installer/jack of all trades, I enjoyed your video.
I appreciate the refresher of where to lubricate.
You made it very clear and easy to understand.
THE video to watch for garage door opener maintenance. Not only did it address, explain, & show everything (every other video I watched showed a tension spring at the front but not the pulley thing I have let alone what if anything to do to it) but there are multiple hits of humor that helped relieve me of not only ignorance but frustration.Thank you!
I followed your directions and now my neighbors won't be mad everytime I open my garage door at 6 in the morning. Thank you. These videos' really help women find solutions to their household issues, without having to ask others for help all the time!!!
Great video. The mistake I've been doing is greasing/oiling the tracks. Makes sense that they shouldn't need it. I had an old craftsman chain drive. Broke the top chain socket when I over adjusted. Put on a new belt drive. Wow! Seriously makes zero noise. And I installed those white wheels where the bearings are encased for the garage door. Lowes wanted like $8 for 2. I got a set of 10 from Amazon for $9.99. Finally, I went with a Dow lubricant spray with Teflon. Less messy than the lithium grease I was using. It's made for rollers, conveyors, hinges, basically any moving part. Thanks for the tips on the tracks!!!
Best presentation I've seen on Lubrication you garage door! Right to the point and easy to understand! Great job!
tony
tony - so some other comments claim you should NOT use lithium or silicon because it attracts dirt and dust. How did this work for you as you put this comment a year ago??? Thanks. We live in Michigan so freezing temps are an issue.
Try Bacon grease it works

Lynne Pope I use a Dow lubricant that has teflon. No mess and works great!
52 y.o. woman here and I just eliminated the 'noise' coming from garage door opener by following most of the steps in this video. I used SILICON spray because there was some in my garage already and I was too lazy to drive to the store for LITHIUM spray. THANKS ! ! !
Excellent presentation and great tips. I'm one of those people you mentioned that has been lubing the tracks
I wish this guy could teach me how to fix everything around my house. Good pace, great humour, thank you for this video!
Thank you. It was not only useful but entertaining. Appreciate your sense of humor
EXCELLENT video! Thoroughly informative, humorous, and great views of exactly what is being described. Anyone doing garage door maintenance should watch this. I think it’s also a great example for anyone wanting to make a tutorial video. I’ve seen more than a few that are poorly done, but I realize just because someone may be an expert at a certain thing, that may not translate to good filming and editing. This one nails it.
Also, if you have metal rollers, I'd highly recommend swapping them out for the white, sealed nylon rollers he shows in this vid. A complete set can be had for less than $20, and they are MUCH quieter rolling up and down in your metal tracks. Great video!
I had never thought about lubing my garage door... I will do that tomorrow, when I am re-programming my remote (yet again)-thanks!
Well done, great easy-to-understand (and entertaining!) how-to video; straight to the point, concise information... Thank you.
Still helpful 11 years later! Thanks!
this is a really great video not only because the content is pertinent and complete but because the delivery was entertaining and engaging .... good job!
Phenomenal video, bro! Thanks so very much for this info! Let me tell you, I just watched this while standing in Home Depot because I was stumped as to why I couldn't find what I thought I needed (a brush-on oil-based product) to lubricate the track. No wonder I couldn't find it anywhere! Equipped with the right info, I grabbed a can of Clopay's Garage Door Pro Lube synthetic spray (only option HD had in the garage door section) and am about to check out. I just had to take a moment and thank you for saving me from giving myself a huge headache! This world needs more educators like you who are selfless and not hoarding info for their own gain. Thanks again, brother!

This video was entertaining and right on point, night and day difference now with how quiet my garage door is.
Thank you my friend for your advise, my bro asked me to grease his garage door and I did the last year. I will send him the link of this video am sure he will benefit from it. He also asked me to design for him a Android operated garage controller, because I am embedded design engineer, and I did - He is very demanding and thinks that I can solve all his problems LOL. I built couple of those Garage Door Controllers and gave him one, now he has the noisy garage problem solved by you once and for all. Thank you again for your valuable video.
You cant find a better presenter. This guy is awesome. An excellent teacher. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this video. I did my garage door for the first time in 19 years. I did everything according to the video. I kept opening and closing it throughout the day to let the lithium grease work in....and it got quieter and quieter running. Sounds and works like a new garage door!
This is perfect and succinct video for garage maintenance. We recently started having noise while opening the garage door. Followed step by step instructions and viola, no more noise. Definitely recommend these videos especially if you are a first time homeowner and you don't want to spend a ton of money on super expensive labor costs these days.
Excellent! Dude! We owe you a beer! You are the first one I've heard of who indicates the torsion spring should be lubricated and I've advocated that for years as it just makes sense. Again, excellent job! Promote this man!!
I hope this dude gets at least a penny per view for this performance. Legendary
I thank you so very much for uploading this funny, informative video. I do most home improvements myself. My garage doesn’t make a sound anymore. Bought the Lithium spray as you suggested and I’m just amazed!!!! You’re truly a blessing, because single females get taking advantage of so often, it’s great we find someone like yourself doing these videos. Have a wonderful day!!!!
You're my heroes! Thanks for making this video!!
Thank you for making time to explain using lithium grease and not oil.... Precision Door is Great - thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. I followed your instructions and my garage door is infinitely quieter now. This is really, really appreciated!
thank you so much this really did help me fix my garage door!!! did exactly what you said and everything worked out perfect thank you again!
This guy knows his stuff and does a great public service..I’d hire them anytime should the situation present itself
This guy was excellent! He took a very boring yet important garage door issue and made it entertaining. Great sense of humor.
Excellent...best 7 minutes of video I've seen to help t the home owner! Thank you!
Great video, very helpful and entertaining too. Thank you
I just had my garage door replaced by Precision and am really happy with the door install that they did. I had one of their own garage door openers in addition to the door. It is really an Linear P800 product but Precisions name is on it. The opener is a belt drive unit and I can hardly hear the door opening and closing now. What a difference from my old worm drive Genie! I highly recommend this company and the products that they sell.
Thanks for the tips and advice. I am watching this because I am helping maintain a condominium complex.
It was also helpful to know about the WD-40. I thought I was the only one who ate my cereal that way.
Awesome video. 1000x funnier than SNL has been in years... and it's a garage video!!
Instructional and humorous?! Well played! Thanks.
This video was absolutely fantastic. Great information (exactly what I was looking for) but the added personality and humor made it watchable as well. Well done Precision!
Great information and simple to follow with great product type recommendations. Thank you for taking the time to help all of us.
This is a fairly old video but still has great information that I can use today 20190708. This is not the first time that I've heard that wd40 is NOT a good lubricant. Great video.
Thanks very much.
I've made all the rookie mistakes over the years, and a persistent sticking brought me here. I had the right lube (after trying WD-40 :-) but was putting on the wrong side of the rail.
Thanks very much, now I can turn down the door closing force from maximum to something a little safer :-)
Service tech here with PGDS. I just found this video and I love it. I would recommend this to some of our customers when we are completed if they feel like they may forget where to spray down their door. A simple QR Code on our stickers that we place, that redirects to this would be amazing. Much love from Atlanta Franchise.
Great stuff. Just spent some money upgrading builders grade doors. This filled in what I need to do to keep them operational. It helped they had exactly the same doors and mechanics. Good job, guys...
Packed with information of which I knew none of before now!
Funny! THANK You! This video was useful!

So helpful! I had a VERY squeaky garage door, and now it is all fixed! Thank you so much for this video. (Loved the humor added in as well, it was a very unexpected surprise for a home improvement video.)
You saved me the cost of a service call. A can on lithium grease was $4.95 at HD and worked like a charm. Thank you!!
This is the best video on garage door maintenance
Thank you for awesome guide and step by step thorough explanation for lubricating garage doors! Fun and less complexed to understand than other videos out there that make you wanna hit the snooze button out of boredom. Fantastic animation of “do not’s” and overall fun to watch! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
This was absolutely spot on presentation. This was extremely helpful…love the humor as well 😂😂
Excellent Video! Exactly everything recommended by my garage door guy when they replaced my grenaded 12yo torsion spring. Surprised it lasted that long with never lubing it up.
Thank you!! I have lubricated the track now I will clean it!! The rest I was doing right with the lithium spray.
Just watch 4 videos on lubricating a garage door and this was by far the best. It explained well the right type of lubricants to use and how and where to use them. The added humor is well placed to accentuate the places mistakes can be made or to emphasize doing it right. Thanks for taking the time to make a well done instructional video.
Thanks for making this informative video! I was able to follow everything step-by-step, which even led to me discovering that I needed to call my landlord ASAP as one of the torsion springs had broken at some point!
Watched this video because of the original question I had. Loved it so much, I ended up watching another dozen of their videos. Great information, lots of laughs, very well done! Going out to buy some lithium grease now and see how well it goes with cereal.
Love it! Fun, but also packed with very useful information. Thank you Precision Door.
I have a Precision door but I learned some things I didn't know before. I always used WD-40. I will use the lithium now.
Use a synthetic
Thank you. You made something, that can be puzzling, simple and easy to understand. Helped me realize some mistakes I’ve made in the past and ways to correct them. Your presentation is a model for others.
Thanks ! I bought a spray can of the white lithium you recommended ( about $ 7 at the Big Box store) and sprayed it on the bearings and other moving parts of the door following your instructions and the pictures in the video ( which were very good). Elapsed time to do it, about 15 minutes and yes the terrible screetching sound is gone. Thank you !
your sense of humour makes having to do this chore less intimidating. I'm going to have to skip WD on the cereal though. My Dr recommended I use another type of cleanse.
Butt the WD makes things come out better in the end!
Whiskey?
You recommend whiskey? Could work...
Mindy Jones another type of cleanse? Enema? 😂
Mindy Jones alcohol and methane fumes...yeah! That would work...and how! 😂
