Garage Door Rollers & Roller Replacement in Colorado

For many households, the garage door is one of the most used doors in the home. While this door doesn't get a lot of credit, it provides an extra layer of security for your home while also increasing the efficiency of your home. 

 

Colorado has a unique climate. The heat from the blazing sun and the extreme cold from the brutal winters can quickly take a toll on your garage door, especially the rollers. If this vital component is damaged, it can cause your door to malfunction, which could be a potential safety hazard. 


Here is a closer look at recognizing when your garage door rollers are damaged and what you should do about it. 


Importance of Garage Door Rollers


Garage door rollers are just one of the many components in a garage door system. The wheels are attached to the door and move up and down a metal track, enabling the garage door to move smoothly into the open and close positions. 


When the rollers work correctly, the garage door will quietly and efficiently move up and down. When the rollers are damaged or missing, the resulting friction can create damage to the track, springs, and other components of the garage door system. 


Sometimes, damaged or missing rollers can cause the garage door to not open or close. Even though the rollers are small, they are certainly not insignificant. In fact, they are the main component that keeps the garage door safe and in proper working order. 


Signs You Need Garage Door Roller Replacement


There will be a few noticeable signs when the rollers on a garage door are damaged. Some signs of damaged garage door rollers are subtle, while others are loud and difficult to ignore. 
 
Visible Damage

If the garage door rollers are damaged, the bearing could be visible. Also, you might see small cracks or chips in the actual rollers. It is essential to inspect the rollers often. If you see any damage, even if it is a small amount, it is a good idea to have them inspected by a professional. 


Unusually Loud Noise and Vibrations


It is common for garage doors to make some noise when they are moving. However, you should not hear any loud screeching or squeaking sounds. If the garage door rollers are damaged or misaligned, you might hear loud grinding, squeaking, or rattling sounds. The door may also vibrate excessively if the rollers are damaged. 


Garage Door Having Movement Issues 


When the rollers are severely damaged, it can cause damage to the track as well. Many times, when the damage is this severe, the door will have a difficult time opening and closing. You might notice that the door sticks when opening or cannot close completely. In some instances, the door may come off of the track completely. 


Visible Track Damage


You might notice visible damage on the track if the garage door rollers are misaligned or severely damaged. You should inspect the track regularly. If you see any areas that are bent or deformed in any way, there is a good chance that it was caused by the rollers. You might also notice scratches and dark marks on the track if the rollers need to be replaced. 


Common Types of Garage Door Rollers


There are many types of garage door rollers available on the market today. Some rollers are designed to accommodate a specific type of door, and others are designed to provide specific benefits, such as increased quietness and improved efficiency. Some of the most common types of garage door rollers include:


  • Nylon Rollers
  • Steel Rollers
  • Plastic Rollers
  • Ball Bearing Rollers


Steel rollers are the most common type of roller used on garage doors. Sometimes, the steel rollers are coated in zinc to help prevent rusting. Ball bearings are added to some types of rollers to reduce friction and help make the rollers glide smoothly throughout the track. 


When to Repair vs. Replace Garage Door Rollers


Depending on the type of roller that your garage door has, the average lifespan of the roller can be anywhere from five to 15 years. If your garage door is a few years old, you should start inspecting the entire garage door system regularly. 


If you notice any of the common signs of roller damage or you see damage on the rollers, you should have them replaced as soon as possible. If you notice minor issues, such as dirt in the tracks or the rollers are slightly misaligned, you might be able to repair that issue. However, contacting a professional is likely still the safest option.

Rollers

Your garage door shouldn’t sound like a train is coming from inside of it. That telltale “click-clack, click-

clack” sound is the rollers moving inconsistently through the track overhead. Rollers have to work

together, so any sound – clicking, scraping or scratching – emerging from the rollers can signal that

something is out of line. When rollers aren’t working properly, your garage door becomes racked or

hanging from above. There are different types of rollers, but Aeonic Garage Doors uses only the best

products that are backed by a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty – to ensure they last the test of time.

Drums & Cables

Cables and Cable Drums are Essential to the door’s operation. The door begins and ends with these in a uniform movement. It is important to have these inspected during a service as these two parts together pull the door from the ground on up. It is not common knowledge to inspect the cables or drums, so it is important to note the garage is sitting crooked, struggling or are hearing a scraping noise similar to a light scratching on a chalk board as the door goes up or down. If these issues are present, it is strongly recommended that your Aeonic professional technician is called to evaluate and fix the issue.

Bearings

Bearings should be addressed during a spring replacement. Garage door bearings replacement is a necessary maintenance task that should be done periodically to keep your garage door functioning properly. These bearings are located on the hinges and rollers and are responsible for enabling smooth movement of the garage door. When bearings wear out, they can cause the door to become noisy when opening and closing, which can be annoying. Failing to replace worn bearings can also cause damage to other parts of the garage door, and may eventually lead to costly repairs.
