How do you lubricate steel roll up doors
I have 10' steel roll up doors in my garage. They make a lot of noise. Does anyone know how to lubricate these doors. I haven't been very successful with google.

Yeah, you will need to use a spray lube for it and a lot of it. Might try a motorcycle chain lube. OP, please ask a moderator to move this to the Off-Topic area.

The doors aren't designed to be lubricated.....Roll-up sheet doors (1 piece) generally have a vinyl rub strip, however, rolling steel (slatted) have no such strip....as a matter of fact, most have metal endlocks (to prevent wind blowout).....Lubrication could temporarily help, but the door is designed for security.......

No, it's actually a 3D stereogram. If you step back from the computer screen and just stare at it, you'll eventually see the true image. Just keep trying.
The orignal pic was before I bought the place, it was the easiest photo to post, while I make it a true garage (finished floor, lift, proper tools, etc).
