A noisy garage door isn’t just annoying — it can signal deeper problems that might lead to expensive repairs.<br /><br />Here’s what might be causing the racket:<br /><br />Lack of Lubrication: Metal-on-metal friction in rollers, hinges, or springs needs routine lubrication.<br /><br />Worn Out Rollers: Old or rusty rollers create grinding and squeaking sounds.<br /><br />Loose Hardware: Bolts, nuts, and hinges can loosen over time, leading to a rattling sound.<br /><br />Unbalanced Door: If your door is off-balance, it strains the opener and makes groaning noises.<br /><br />Old Springs: Torsion or extension springs may be wearing out and could break—this is dangerous and noisy.<br /><br />🔧 Safety Tip: Never try to replace springs yourself — it’s high-tension equipment.
