First, make sure that the ball bearings inside of the rollers are well lubricated. If those rollers dry out, they can make a lot of noise. If that doesn't work, replace the metal rollers with nylon or plastic rollers. Those tend to be much quieter than the metal ones.

My front door is metal and the door frame is also metal. In the winter time when it gets colder, the deadbolt is hard to lock. Is there something I can buy to spray on the frame/door/lock to help?

If you file out the deadbolt hole a little bigger, it should be a lot easier to lock and unlock your door.

Is it hard to fix a garage door? I don't want to pay someone to do it.

That's totally understandable, but unfortunately, garage doors can be pretty dangerous to mess with if you don't know what you're doing. If it's anything beyond a minor repair and you...

On my shower door, there are slots that would appear to let water inside the door at the bottom. Won't caulking the door at the very bottom keep that water from escaping, causing mold and mildew?

Yes, that's why you would caulk your weep-holes, not the door itself.

Can I bypass the sensors needed to close the garage door?

Yes; however, you will need some additional electronics to do so. For the Craftsman 1/2 HP garage door opener I have, I'd need a signal generator that sends a pattern...
