This is the first place you should look when checking your tracks. Dirt and old lubricant builds up on the tracks and causes the door to stick while it's being opened and closed. By simply cleaning and drying the tracks, you'll find that your door will operate smoothly again. You'll save yourself a couple hundred dollars. All you need is about 30 minutes, soap, and water and you're done.
Step 2: Lubricate All Of Your Moving Parts
After you've clean your track and the other moving parts of your garage, you have to lubricate them to make sure they keep running smoothly. It's pretty simple to do this: make sure you apply a silicon lubricant or spray on both the rollers and tracks. After this, your garage should be working smoothly.
Make sure to keep your tracks clean and prevent dirt and lubricant build-up. It's a good idea to check your tracks every three months or so.
