Garage door maintenance

[bryce86]

When my garage door opens and closes its quite creaky and also clunks. It seems worse when the door is opening. It's a double door powered by a Cardale DC800n motor.

Is there any general maintenance that should be carried out with these? Most of the clunking seems to be from the large springs. I have oiled most hinges with 3 in 1.

Maintenance
This garage door operator is virtually maintenance-free.
However, all movable parts of the door and operator system should be checked regularly and kept
in an easily movable condition.
The OPEN and CLOSE automatic cut-out settings should be checked regularly.
The door must be running smoothly and regularly maintained.
Check the lifting regularly.

Ah ok. The clunking of the spring annoys me a little, but I suppose that's the norm of spring being wound under tension.
