Keep your garage door safe year-round in Perth’s climate. Follow our summer-to-winter maintenance checklist and book ABC’s service for expert support.
Why Seasonal Care Matters
Perth’s hot summers, sea-breeze springs, and wet winters each stress garage-door hardware in different ways. Regular tune-ups prevent sudden breakdowns, lower repair costs, and ensure compliance with AS/NZS 4505 wind-load standards.
Summer (Dec – Feb)
- Inspect weather seals for UV cracking. Replace if light shows through.
- Clear sand and salt-spray from tracks with a soft brush; don’t lubricate tracks.
Autumn (Mar – May)
- Test the safety-reverse monthly by placing a 40 mm block under the door.
- Light-oil hinges and pivot points with lithium spray—never WD-40.
Winter (Jun – Aug)
- Check torsion-spring tension; cold steel loses elasticity. Book a pro if the door feels heavy.
- Look for rust spots on Colorbond panels; sand, prime, re-paint.
Spring (Sep – Nov)
- Re-balance the door—disconnect the opener; the door should sit halfway.
- Schedule an annual service before summer heat; our package retensions springs, realigns tracks, and tests the motor.
