Worn out rollers in your garage doors are among the most common reasons for noisy sluggish, and unreliable performance in your garage doors. The rollers in your garage doors play an extremely significant role in ensuring that your doors move smoothly along the tracks whenever you open or close your doors.
Over time garage door rollers will wear out, crack or perhaps even seize, therefore we at Connecticut Garage Door Repair are dedicated to deliver high quality roller replacement services that make sure your garage doors function smoothly and quietly.
Types of Garage Door Rollers
Garage doors have either nylon or steel rollers. The standard steel roller is the least expensive roller in the market. Although it is effective in its functionality, it is extremely loud in operation and also has a shorter lifespan. The high quality nylon roller is much smoother in operation, much quieter, and lasts much longer. It is therefore recommended for homes with living or sleeping spaces adjacent to your garage. Connecticut Garage Door Repair provides both types of rollers. We will be happy to assist you in choosing the roller that is best for your needs.
Warning Signs of Worn out Rollers
When your rollers wear out, you will notice that your doors make extremely loud grinding or squealing sounds whenever you open or close your doors. Your doors may also vibrate or shimmy from side to side or hesitate and jerk whenever you open or close your doors. Worn out rollers may also cause your doors to bind in their tracks or even come off their tracks. Worn out rollers also put more pressure on your garage door openers than they were designed for. This may cause your openers to have shorter lifespans.
The Roller Replacement Process
We take away your old rollers section by section, install your new rollers, and check to make sure your door is moving smoothly along its entire length of track. As we replace your rollers, we also check your tracks for bends, dents, or misalignment, your hinges for wear or damage, your cables for fraying, and your springs for proper tension. This way, your new rollers will give you top notch performance from day one.
Upgrading to Nylon Rollers
If your garage is attached to your home then noise can be a real issue and upgrading your steel rollers to nylon rollers can be a real game changer, not only are nylon rollers almost silent in operation, but they also do not require lubrication and are resistant to corrosion from moisture and extreme weather which are a common issue in our area, this upgrade is affordable and our customers tell us it is one of the best upgrades they have ever made to their garage door system.
