When Should You Replace Your Garage Door Rollers?
Rollers are responsible for making the movement of your garage door smooth. Without them, your garage door won’t move properly, or even move at all. If you’re like most homeowners, you are probably good at regularly checking the most visible parts of the door, but rollers are more difficult to inspect.
It’s not your fault. Garage door rollers are not that visible and can be easily overlooked. But they are critical to the operation of your door, so having them inspected by professional garage door repair services is not a bad idea.
Over time, rollers can stick and crack. To determine the right time to replace them, you must first understand how they work:
Upgraded Rollers
These rollers usually come with nylon ball bearings inside them and are available in different designs such as sealed or open bearing design. If your door has open bearing design rollers, they must be lubricated 3–5 times a year to stay in proper working condition.
Depending on the design and type you choose for your upgraded rollers, they can last 2–25 years with regular servicing. If you are considering upgrading the rollers, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Fremont garage door services for expert recommendations.
Builder-Grade Rollers
These are rollers that were probably installed when your garage was built. They are made of steel or hard plastic and don’t have ball bearings. They are called “builder grade” because most builders choose to install them on garage doors due to their low-price. It goes without saying these rollers are not the highest quality.
If your precision garage door has builder-grade rollers, they must be replaced within 2–3 years. They tend to wear out quickly since these rollers don’t have a ball bearing, causing the garage door panels to squeak.
Schedule a Same-Day Garage Door Openers Inspection
Ideally, your rollers should be inspected every year and lubricated every 4–6 months (depending on the usage) to increase their lifespan. Always hire a garage door installation company to perform this inspection.
Our highly trained garage door technicians can check your rollers for signs of damage and perform necessary maintenance, like applying lubrication and tightening any loose rollers. If you’re hearing a grinding noise when opening or closing your garage door, it indicates that the rollers are not spinning smoothly and may need to be replaced.
Whatever problems you are facing with your rollers, we can help. Book a consultation online or give us a call at 800-829-9833 to get your garage door fixed.
