Lubrication and Balancing

We use marine-grade lubricants specifically designed for weather conditions. These products resist water washout, prevent corrosion, and maintain effectiveness longer than standard lubricants in our humid, salty Austin area environment.

We recommend lubrication every 3-4 months in Austin due to weather exposure. More frequent lubrication may be needed after storms or during high humidity periods when salt deposits accumulate faster.

Yes, using the wrong lubricant or applying it incorrectly can attract dirt, cause component binding, or accelerate corrosion. In Austin's environment, this is especially important as weather can interact poorly with certain lubricants.

Balancing involves adjusting spring tension so the door weight is properly supported, ensuring smooth operation and reducing strain on the opener. In Austin, we also check for weather corrosion that can affect balance.

Yes, proper lubrication often reduces noise by reducing friction between moving parts. In Austin, salt deposits can cause additional noise, so our cleaning and lubrication process specifically addresses this professional issue.
