No matter what type of garage door you buy, inspect it every year for loose or worn hinges, springs and other hardware. You can keep moving parts working freely by lubricating them occasionally with light household oil. For repair of springs or operators, it's usually best to contact a trained professional. Manufacturers of wood doors recommend you paint them initially on both the inside and outside and repaint the exterior surface every year or two.
