Noisy Garage Door Fix

Is your garage door making more noise than before? Let’s take a look at some typical reasons for this and what you can do to fix it:

Loose Parts: Over time, screws, nuts, and bolts might loosen up. You might also need to tighten the belts or chain drives.

Worn-Out Components: Rollers, springs, and hinges can wear out and might need replacing.

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

Environmental Factors: Humidity can cause parts to swell or stick, while cold weather can make metal parts contract, leading to more noise.

Spring Types: The type of springs—torsion or extension—can affect how noisy your door is.

Need for Lubrication: Regularly lubricating moving parts can help them run smoothly and quietly.

Door’s Age: Older garage doors may have parts that are worn out. Also, an older opener might not be as quiet as it once was.

By doing regular maintenance and timely repairs, you can keep your garage door running smoothly and quietly, which will also help it last longer. Keep things simple and quiet!
