Friday Afternoon, the long weekend is upon us. Waiting to head up the coast for a lovely long weekend. Peace and quiet, its Australia Day Sunday so prawns and bbq at the ready.

Can you use WD-40 on a garage door opener? What’s the best way to clean a noisy or squeaky garage door? Let’s take a look at you best options when trying to fix up a squeaky or non-responsive door.
Can you use WD-40 on a garage door opener? Well, firstly let’s take a look at what WD-40 is.
The WD stands for ‘water displacement’ – originally WD40 was created to spray water from metal parts before assembling them (in order to prevent rust accumulation). As such the active ingredients of WD-40 are mineral spirits, mineral oil, and carbon dioxide. While the mineral oil is good for lubrication the mineral spirits, which dissolve grease and dirt, will dissolve quickly and you’ll be left with a small amount of mineral oil, not nearly enough to effectively lubricate a heavy garage door. WD-40 or silicone spray can also dry out the wheel bearings by washing the grease out of them – making the problem even worse. It is true that WD-40 has myriad uses, but cleaning your garage door is not one of them.
We recommend using a commercial garage door grease or a lubricant spray to lubricate your garage door. For example, 3-IN-ONE 300g Professional Garage Door Lubricant (which is actually made by the WD-40 company) is currently $9.90 at Bunnings (don’t hold us to the price!) and will help reduce friction, stop squeaks and eliminate sticking doors.
Don’t use WD-40! Use a suitable product and lubricate your door every six months and you’ll help increase the longevity of your garage door opener. If you’d prefer, the friendly team at the Door Doctors have a fixed price servicing for garage door openers available – regular maintenance which means you can save money on your investment in the long run but don’t need to worry about repairing it yourself.

Today we’ll take a look at Garage Door Installation vs. Repair – what’s the right time to repair your garage door/motor and when does it make more sense to simply get a new one?
When you have a damaged garage door, it can be hard to tell whether you’re better off starting fresh or if it’s able to be repaired. Usually the best thing to do is to have a chat with a professional who has a lot of experience in doors and motors so you can see which the best option will be. How long has it been since you’ve had a service? How bad is the issue? If you don’t have a lot of experience in DIY then the best thing to do is see what an expert says.
The friendly team at Door Doctors offer fixed price servicing for doors we install. This means you’ll know exactly what to expect and there won’t be any nasty surprises if anything breaks down. You’ll also save money in the long run as regular servicing of your garage door+motor will ensure it lasts for a lot longer and stays in good working condition.
Another factor to consider is the age/condition of your garage door. If we can fix it today and it’s going to break again in 6 months, is it a false economy to pay to repair the door? In many cases yes. It’s best to meet up with an honest and reliable repairer who can give you the scoop on what’s exactly wrong, and the best way to fix it.
If you’re planning on living at your place for the immediate future it makes sense to treat the door like your car and ensure it stays in good shape with regular services. This is especially important if you have just bought a new door – this way you’ll get the best out of your investment (and won’t have to worry about it, if you take advantage of fixed price servicing!).
Satisfaction Guaranteed. We’re got extensive experience with garage door repair in Brisbane and would be happy to help you figure out whether you need to replace your garage door/motor or simply just get a repair.

At the Door Doctors we’re always interested in keeping up with modern technology. That’s why we have some tips straight from the manufacturer to ensure you’re getting the most of of your Merlin myQ Technology. This handy piece of equipment can be set to notify you when your door goes up or down (no matter where you are) – and you can even control the door remotely if you need to.
Tip 1
To receive Push Notifications from your garage door, ensure the Notifications are activated in the Iphone Settings menu.
Tip 2
To receive Event History information, the Alert option in the myQ App must be active.
Tip 3
When using the phone App, limit the Alert Name to 14 digits, otherwise all the history message will not appear.
Tip 4
Refreshing the App occasionally by logging out and logging back in with the password, will ensure the latest upgrades have been added.
Tip 5
In the garage, keep the IR Beam area clear to avoid accidentally blocking the safety beam system and creating a false alert.
Tip 6
! CLOSE ERROR appearing on the myQ App indicates an object is in the path of the door. Closing the door with your IPhone and remotes will not be possible until the object is removed.
Tip 7
If you are having issues with your internet service, you are still able to OPEN and CLOSE your garage door locally, with the remote controls.
Tip 8
Solid Green Led on the Gateway indicates it has connected to the internet.
Tip 9
Solid Blue Led on the Gateway indicates it has paired to at least one garage door opener.
Tip 10
One Gateway module can pair with up to 16 garage door openers, provided they are located at the same site and within radio range.
If you have any other questions make sure you check the Merlin Commander myQ QUICK START GUIDE or SilentDrive Elite myQ QUICK START GUIDE
Satisfaction Guaranteed. We’re got extensive experience with the whole Merlin range and would be happy to help you choose the perfect garage door motor for your circumstances.
