Thank you so much for the suggestions on lubricants. My garage door sounded like the screams of souls in Perdition. But that Blaster spray, and now I don't worry about waking the neighbors when I come home late.
I’ve been chasing a squeal for done time. Even when operating by hand. After watching your video I hit the spring with a lot (wasn’t shy this time) of lubricant and shook them. Squeal gone! Thanks for your video.
Thanks man. My now sounds smooth like butter. Turns out all the noice was coming from the joints in door, not even on the ends by the wheels. Its now virtually silent.
I used PB Blaster lithium spray on mine about 3 months ago, but it certainly didn't last long. But I didn't spray every item you did. Mainly the wheels / track. I'll definitely try again, but this time I'll spray everything. Hopefully it gets me more than 3 months. but It's no big deal to reapply. thanks for the video
Synthetic chain lube also works extremely well. Also make sure you spray a generous amount of lube on the sprocket inside the motorized door opener itself.
At 3:13 you are lubricating parts that do not move. Either end of the arm where it connects to the trolley and the door, sure, but the two bolts on the arm create a fixed arm. There is no reason you would want lube on them.
having spent three hours pulling off each individual roller to remove a decade of build up lubricant , grime and dirt in petrol, I'd say, don't use lubricants. if it squeaks, remove the roller, clean it with degreaser of some kind to make sure there's no crud in it and reinstall it. lubricants just attract grime if the bearings are not sealed, and if you just want a stop gap, use ultra fine sewing machine oil in a syringe applicator and make sure you only oil into the bearings directly. (but you will eventually have problems with tried out gunk filled rollers.
My grandma's garage door used to kind of sound like that. Idk why, I miss that sound cuz ever since I was little, I always thought that there was an elephant or something in her garage. Lol
Thank You! Like butter! It was driving me crazy: I missed some major lube spots on my first attempt. Thanks for the thorough Demo! L I k e B u t t e r ! ! !
In my opinion, I will not lubricate or grease wheel surface. Instead, we grease ball bearing only ( if ball bearing is exposed) . Wheel should roll along left and right rails., not sliding . Two different friction types between rolling and sliding
Using silcon lube, you must like to collect dirt in your tracks and on your rollers. And no offense, you created a lot stains of the header with that lube and you'll want to use grease on the bottom of the operator rail. Not where you were sparying and with silicon base, you definitely don't want that on a chain or a belt. Sorry, I'm just a tech, what do I know?
Thank you! Mine sounds like a banshee! I was going to use WD40 so I"m glad I hopped on youtube, first!
Awesome! I’m glad the video helped you out

Yeah, you may want to look for the product I used instead of the PB Blaster. I haven’t sprayed mine again in over 6 months and it’s going good still.
Appreciated the insight
I hope the video helped you out
Great video!!!

Great job
Is the Pro Lube available in Australia, and if it is where can i find it in Melbourne. Thanks in advance. George
I don’t think Pro Lube is sold
In Australia. So I suggest getting the Blaster Garage Door Lubricant. You can get that at Home Depot or on Amazon
That while lithium grease is messy and looks awful over time. I just bought a can specifically for garage doors. Gonna be spraying everything. Thanks
Awesome! I hope it works great

Dude lubricates a part that doesn't move. And youtube removed the dislike counter.
Problem with this is 'no before.'
