How should I clean and lubricate the chain and the sprockets on a 30-year-old Stanley garage door opener with a chain drive?


Any kind of oil or chain lube will keep the chain moving freely. Spray
or wipe with an oily rag. Be sure to lube the rollers on the door
also.


I've been using WD-40 for all but probably there is something better
for the chain or screw drive. All I know it works for me for some
time. I guess something is better than nothing.
