What if Your Garage Door Rollers Fail?

By design, garage door rollers partially lock into the tracks to prevent them from popping out of the track.  The garage door track curves up at the bottom to hold the wheel in place. Usually, loud screeching, grinding or squealing noises coming from the garage door signifies a problem with dirt or debris in the track or lack of lubrication of the garage door rollers and tracks.

Lubricate all moving parts every six months to reduce wear and keep the door quiet. Avoid other lubricants such as oil, grease, or spray lithium grease. They’re cheaper, but they don’t penetrate as well and tend to pick up dust and grit—just what you don’t want on your garage door rollers. Bent or worn hinges and worn rollers must be replaced to have a quieter and smoother operation with the door. Together with your garage door rollers, the tracks contribute to the wear and tear. Please do not spray lubricant into a garage door track in the event that it seems to be sticky or noisy. The lubricant will not help your garage door track to function better. Instead, it will collect particulate matter, which will harden like cement. Instead of lubricating a garage door track, what you need to do is clean it. Simply wipe the inside of the garage door track with a damp cloth, and dry it. Extension springs are positioned at the uppermost part of the tracks on either side. These support the whole door as well as lessen the tension given to your doors. Torsion springs are common garage door repair problems because these springs are prone to break or wear and tear process. Another set of springs is needed to have perfectly fixed springs on garage doors. Garage door roller replacement is another issue that must be handled by a garage door repair professional. Due to the reason that rollers may likely be broken or bent, this may further result to expensive garage door repairs.
