We responded quickly when this homeowner in La Vista, NE, contacted us because of persisting door alignment problems. They explained that their garage door had been moving slowly and unevenly and had become unusually noisy. When we inspected, we discovered some rollers were sticking in their tracks, creating a scraping noise. Furthermore, broken roller hinges made the rollers wobbly as they glided along the tracks. Since the broken hinges had compromised the other roller hinges, we replaced all of them. After replacing the hinges and vertical door tracks, the door's performance returned to normal. This timely garage door repair made their door operate safely and smoothly again.
Rollers play a vital role in your garage door system. Connecting the door to a set of tracks via rod-and-wheel lets it open and close easily. The garage door rollers are put to work each time you use your door. However, they will suffer from wear and tear and eventually need replacing. Here is a general overview of what entails replacing garage door rollers.
As your garage door rollers system ages, it will show signs of wear and tear. One of the most frequent problems is when the rollers start to sag, bend, or become worn out. It can make the door open and close more slowly or jerkily. In addition, worn-out rollers can also cause damage to the whole garage door system's components. Roller problems can stop your door from working properly, leaving your garage vulnerable to thieves, pests, and bad weather. Therefore, it is best to replace them promptly to avoid further damage and the need for costly repairs.
Rollers, similar to garage door springs, come with cycle ratings. It means they are only built to last for a certain number of cycles. For example, it is one cycle every time you open and close your garage door. Garage doors are opened and closed three to five times daily, about 1,500 times a year.
The average service life for a garage door roller depends on its material. A simple calculation will give you an idea of when to replace your rollers. Do not wait until your rollers break before you replace them. Instead, be proactive and install new rollers when yours are nearing the end of their expected lifespan.
