So, yes, garage door pulleys are significant parts and must be repaired immediately.

How do I keep my aluminum garage door dirt free?

Even though garage doors fashioned with aluminum frame are hardier and yet easier to maintain than standard garage doors, they still need to be cleaned now and again. Surprisingly enough, car wax is an effective way to keep your aluminum garage door safe from both dirt and moisture.

How can I protect the spring from damage?

You should not use any corrosive cleaners for the component or for the hardware connected to it and the surrounding area. Annual lubrication will help to reduce the friction and to keep the rate of wearing as low as possible. All other garage door parts require proper maintenance so that the spring is not overly strained.
