Garage Door Springs

Should you spray WD-40 on garage door springs?

Quick Answer

No. WD-40 is a solvent, not a lubricant, and it strips the protective coating from springs, accelerating rust and wear. Use a silicone-based spray or white lithium grease specifically designed for garage door components.
