How To Tell If Your Garage Door Rollers Are Broken?
Garage door rollers often become damaged or broken due to poor quality parts, irregular lubrication and maintenance or debris buildup within the garage door tracks. If your garage door is off track or you notice any other signs of damaged rollers, you may need garage door roller repair or replacement.
Garage door rollers are the pieces of your garage door system that facilitate smooth, steady opening and closing. When the rollers are damaged or broken, you’ll find it’s difficult or even impossible to raise the door. When in good condition, rollers spin freely within the garage door track, but if damaged or worn, the rollers create a loud, grinding noise while the door is in motion. If damaged rollers aren’t repaired or replaced, these components can bend the track, guide the door off track and cause added, unnecessary strain to your garage door opener.
