Garage door rollers are existing for one specific and main reason—convenience!
Garage
doors move up and down through a track guided by garage door rollers.
These rollers allow the units to move freely. There are times when
garage door rollers would not work well. When that happens, you have two
choices for an easy fix: one is to lubricate your garage door rollers
and the other is to replace it.
When its metal components and parts corrode and rust, it can damage the system.
Fixes
for this problem can be easy (but this doesn’t mean that there is no
need for you to ask for professional help). If you have noticed, there
are two trouble spots on the system. The rollers slide and the sleeve.
The sleeve is the one that connects the rollers to the door. For a
primary fix, you can start by lubricating all parts of the garage door
rollers. This could give you more time to assess the system without
further damaging it. Plus, noisy and sticking rollers are not uncommon
situations, lubrication is actually the most common fix. Another problem
encountered is the seizing up of garage door rollers; in this case
replacement is the only option.
There are more problems you can encounter with garage door rollers than any other garage door parts.
One
common damage are frozen garage door rollers. This happens commonly
during winter when moisture and cold combine, the garage door rollers
have difficulty moving and lifting the door as it is stuck on the floor
or the garage door rollers are not warmed up to do the task. Never try
to press the clickers repetitively as if you were to jump start a car.
Instead, scrape off some of the debris, wipe off the excess moisture and
lubricate at a minimal amount. In the months of summer and autumn, it
is always a problem when dust and other debris accumulates on the
pathway of the garage door rollers, making it so difficult for the
garage door rollers to move smoothly. First inspect whether the garage
door rollers are damaged due to the rough pathway, remove the debris and
lubricate. It is best to always run down the garage door rollers while
observing them to make sure that the parts are moving smoothly and with
ease.
Never
be too aggressive in buying garage door rollers, make sure that the
sizes are right for the sleeves and the weight of the door.
