Is your garage door making more noise than usual? Let’s take a look at some common causes and how you can fix them:

Loose Parts

• Screws, nuts, and bolts might have come loose over time.
• Belts or chain drives might need a good tightening.

Worn-Out Components

• Rollers, springs, and hinges could be showing their age and may need a replacement.

Issues with the Opener

• Sometimes, it’s the garage door opener that’s acting up, causing all that noise.

Environmental Factors

• Humidity might cause parts to swell or stick together.
• Cold weather can make metal parts shrink, which leads to more noise.

Type of Springs

• The kind of springs you have—torsion or extension—can affect how noisy your door is.

Need for Lubrication

• Moving parts need regular lubrication to keep them running smoothly and quietly.

Age of the Door

• Older garage doors might have worn-out parts that need attention.
• An aging opener might not be operating as quietly as it once did.

Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help keep your garage door running smoothly and quietly. By addressing these issues, you’ll not only enjoy a quieter home but also extend the life of your garage door system. Keep it simple, keep it smooth!
