Roller replacement
Grinding, rattling or shaking? Check the rollers.
- Full set replaced
- Tracks inspected
- Price before work
Rollers ride inside the tracks every time the door moves. When their bearings wear out or the wheels chip, the door starts to grind and wobble and pulls on everything attached to it, the opener included.
Green EZ swaps worn rollers for nylon ones, which run quieter than bare steel. While the door is apart, the tech checks the hinges and looks for bends in the tracks. The bottom rollers sit in brackets tied to the lift cables, so those are changed with the tension handled properly. Add a tune-up to cover the rest of the door.
Door sounds like gravel?
Worn rollers are a simple fix when they're caught early. Call to set a time.
Roller services
Rollers rarely fail alone, so we look at what they ride in and what holds them.
Roller replacement
All rollers changed at once so the door rides evenly from top to bottom.
Nylon roller upgrade
Steel rollers swapped for nylon ones to cut down on noise.
Hinge replacement
Cracked or worn hinges that hold the roller stems replaced at the same time.
Track check
Tracks inspected for dents and loose mounts, then adjusted so the new rollers move freely.
Nylon vs. steel rollers
Nylon
Quieter and smoother. A good choice when there's a bedroom or living room over or beside the garage.
Steel
Tough and inexpensive, but louder, and they need regular lubrication to keep from grinding.
Signs your rollers are worn
Watch and listen while the door runs:
- Grinding or squealingThe bearings inside the roller have dried out or failed.
- Wobbling in the trackWorn wheels sit loose and let the door shift side to side.
- Chipped or cracked wheelsVisible damage means the roller is close to coming apart.
- The door jerks at the same spotA roller may be catching on a dent in the track.
- The opener is working harderDragging rollers add load the motor has to fight.
Safety first. Never loosen the bottom brackets. They're attached to the lift cables and hold spring tension, and they can fly loose with real force. Bottom rollers are a job for a technician.
