The rollers on a garage door are attached to the door and roll on the tracks, allowing the garage door to open and close smoothly. Rollers are available in several designs. Certain roller designs have no ball bearings and tend to wear out rapidly and can tend to cause the garage door to bind or squeak really bad.<\/p>\n

For a quieter, smoother motion, nylon rollers with ball bearings inside the rollers are the upgrade option. The ball bearings can be an open design or a sealed bearing design. The open design with ball bearings should be lubricated about every 3-4 months to keep them working smoothly and quietly. Then warranty on these upgraded rollers will vary by manufacturer, but typically from 2 years to lifetime, again, updated at least once per year and lubricated about every 3-4 months or twice a year at minimum. Keeping the rollers properly lubricated will prolong the life of the roller.<\/span><\/p>\n

Self-inspection can reveal any minor issue. Garage door rollers should be inspec<\/span>ted and the roller should not wiggle or have play in it. If the roller wiggles or has play in it, then it is time to contact us<\/a> to replace your rollers.<\/p>\n

The roller should spin freely on the shaft. If the roller is locked up, or feels or sounds like it is grinding, it is time to replace the rollers.<\/p>\n

You also want to confirm the roller is not cracked and that there are no chunks of rubber or nylon missing from the rollers. Replace as necessary.<\/p>\n

Annual garage door maintenance<\/a>, lubrication and inspection can prevent expensive problems later. Rollers are fairly inexpensive, and good nylon rollers keep the doors running smooth and quieter.<\/p>\n

When you are ready for garage door maintenance, schedule here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
