Common Garage Door Roller Problems
There are several common garage door roller problems homeowners discover. Some of these are easy to fix while others require a professional garage door repair service for the best results.
Here are the most common garage door roller problems and how to fix them:
1. Garage door rollers are not turning.
Garage doors can become difficult to open and close if the rollers are not turning properly. It may be due to excessive dirt or debris on them that is preventing them from moving freely. Try cleaning these first with a stiff brush, removing any junk stuck in there before trying again.
2. Rollers lack lubrication
If you notice your garage door shaking or squeaking during operation, you may need to lubricate your rollers. Without lubrication, garage doors can become rusted and damaged. To avoid future problems, make sure your rollers are lubricated and rolling smoothly.
3. Tracks have come off the wall
If your garage door tracks come off the wall, the rollers will go off track. Garage door tracks attach to the wall and rollers sit inside them. Garage doors need both in order to function properly. If your track is not attached well, it will come off over time until the garage door cannot be opened or closed anymore due to a lack of support from either side.
Reattach the track to the wall. Garage door tracks are adjustable, so you should be able to reattach them easily by screwing or bolting them back into place. Replace your old rollers with new ones that fit snugly inside your garage door’s track for better support and movement.
4. Misaligned garage door tracks
Garage doors need both sides to align together in order for them to operate properly. If one of those is off, the other side’s rollers may not function as intended.
Adjust each track so that they are level with each other and aligned perfectly.
5. Dirty tracks
Dirt will build up along your garage door tracks, which prevents the rollers from functioning properly. Garage door tracks can be very difficult to clean since they are not as accessible as doors and walls. For the best results, we recommending hiring a professional garage door repair service.
A professional will ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
6. Dented tracks
If you find your garage door tracks are dented, you may experience issues while opening and closing the door. Garage door tracks are made of metal and can become dented easily due to the weight of your garage door. Garage doors tend to move up and down vertically, which puts stress on both sides’ rollers.
To fix this problem, hire a professional who will be able to straighten out any bends or kinks in your track.
7. Broken garage door rollers
Garage door rollers may break over time. Garage door rollers are made of plastic and metal, which means they can become worn down or fall apart. Garage doors put a lot of pressure on them with every move up and down that occurs throughout the day.
If you notice your garage door is making strange noises during operation, it may be due to broken rollers. Replacing these is a quick and easy fix!
