When the desert heat bakes your garage, the door can swell and stick or even warp over time. I’ve found that applying a silicone-based lubricant to the tracks and hinges every few months helps everything slide smoothly, and checking the rubber weather seal for cracks keeps the hot air out. On the hottest days, I also crack the garage door a few inches for ventilation rather than letting the trapped heat damage the opener’s motor.
