Oiling/greasing a garage door

garage-doorlubrication

My garage door is very loud. I sprayed all of the metal-on-metal moving portions of the garage door (except the Genie screw drive track) with WD-40 as they all have some small degree of rust. This helped quite a bit, but I would like to do more.

I know WD-40 is probably not the right lubricant, so my question is: what is the correct lubricant for the various parts of a garage door, including the screw drive in my Genie garage door opener?

Best Answer

Genie makes a lubricant specifically designed for their screw drive openers. I used it at my old house and it seemed to work fairly well. You can buy it any major home centers. I believe they came in packs of 3 tubes and each tube was designed for one lubrication. I lubricated mine about every 6 months.
