Common Questions
Why is my garage door so noisy?
Noise usually comes from worn rollers, dry hinges, loose hardware, or an unbalanced door. A tune-up and hardware replacement can often eliminate the noise completely.
How often should garage door hardware be replaced?
Rollers typically last 10,000–15,000 cycles. Hinges can last longer but should be inspected annually. If you hear grinding or squeaking, it's time for an inspection.
What's the difference between nylon and steel rollers?
Nylon rollers are quieter and don't require lubrication. Steel rollers are more durable for heavy doors. We'll recommend the right type for your door and usage.
Can you just lubricate my door instead of replacing hardware?
Lubrication helps, but worn hardware needs to be replaced. We'll tell you honestly whether lubrication is enough or if replacement is needed.
