Garage
doors won’t function properly if the rollers are broken. The problem is
99% of all new garage doors installed before 2008 in Palm Harbor come
with low standard, stock garage door rollers. This means that if you do
not have your garage doors regularly checked, the problems may have
accumulated by now.
These problems may include accumulated
grime, dust, and dirt that builds up inside the lip of the garage door
rollers. Grime, dust, and dirt cause friction which reduces the
efficiency of garage door rollers by up to 50%. Some people try to solve
the problem by putting lubricants. However, lubrication of the garage
door rollers won't do any good because it causes the wheels to wear down
pretty quickly.
If you fail to notice these little problems,
then your garage door will eventually get caught on one side or the
other. Why? Because the opener will be exerting force on the garage door
rollers that are having a hard time turning. When your door gets
caught, then any of these two can happen:
1. The cable system of your garage door will fall apart.
This
would be the most minimal damage, but it is still costly to repair.
When the tension is loosened on one side of the door it causes the cable
and spring system to become unbalanced. It will then wrap up the cable
causing the door to come out of the tracks. Garage door repair in Palm
Harbor includes putting the door back on the track and rebalancing the
whole spring system; all because you ignored your garage door rollers.
2. The whole garage door needs to be replaced.
When
the cable system on your door falls apart, the opener may still
continue to run. However, depending on the position of the door, which
roller gets caught, and the setting of the opener, your garage door may
turn into a useless scrap metal when the garage door rollers get jammed
in the track. The panels will crease and bend like a taco, ruining the
entire door, and eliminating any chance of repair. In this scenario, you
have no choice but to get a brand new door. Hopefully this time, your
garage door rollers are in good condition than the previous ones.
