Can I service my own garage door?
You can do owner maintenance but a full service should only be done by an experienced technician with the right tools and knowledge.
I totally support homeowners doing owner maintenance on their garage door. BUT, I find that without the proper advice they end up making mistakes or taking bad advice from well intentioned but ultimately misinformed people.
If you want good advice then get a professional service first. During this visit I will be happy to give you customised instructions on what you can do yourself.

Do Not spray WD-40, or any other oil based lubricant, in the curtain guides of a roller door.
