Noisy Garage Door Fix

Is your garage door noisier than it used to be? Let’s explore some common causes and how you can address them:

Loose Parts

Over time, screws, nuts, and bolts can work their way loose. The belts or chain drives might also need tightening.

Worn-Out Components

Rollers, springs, and hinges might be showing wear and need replacement.

Opener Issues

Check if the noise is coming from the garage door opener itself.

Environmental Factors

Humidity can make parts swell or stick, while cold weather can cause metal components to contract, resulting in more noise.

Spring Types

The type of springs—torsion or extension—can influence the noise level of your door.

Need for Lubrication

Regular lubrication of moving parts helps them operate smoothly and quietly.

Door’s Age

Older garage doors may have worn components needing attention. Similarly, an older opener may not function as quietly as it once did.

By performing regular maintenance and timely repairs, you can ensure your garage door operates smoothly and quietly, ultimately extending its lifespan. Keep it straightforward and keep it quiet!
