Why coastal homes need more frequent servicing
Manly sits between the ocean and the harbour, so garage doors here deal with salt spray, humidity and wind-blown sand. That speeds up rust on springs, cables and fixings, and wears rollers and bearings faster. For homes close to the water we generally recommend a service every 6–12 months; for others, once a year is a good rule.
Benefits of regular maintenance
Fewer breakdowns
Worn parts are spotted and replaced before they fail at an inconvenient time.
Quieter operation
Clean, lubricated hardware runs smoothly without grinding or squealing.
Longer motor life
A well-balanced door puts far less strain on your opener.
Safer for your family
Auto-reverse and safety beams are tested and adjusted.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I service my garage door?
Once a year for most homes, and every 6–12 months for homes close to the beach or harbour.
What lubricant should I use on my garage door?
A silicone or dry lubricant designed for garage doors. Avoid heavy grease, which attracts sand and grit.
Can a service fix a noisy garage door?
Often, yes. Most noise comes from dry or worn rollers, hinges and bearings, which we lubricate or replace during the service.
