There are several types of garage door rollers, each with its own advantages and maintenance needs:
1. Nylon Rollers
Known for their quiet operation and durability.
Resistant to rust and corrosion.
Ideal for residential garage doors.
2. Steel Rollers
Extremely durable and capable of handling heavy doors.
Can be noisy and prone to rust over time.
Often used in commercial settings.
3. Composite Rollers
Made from a blend of materials, offering a balance of durability and quiet operation.
Resistant to rust and corrosion.
Suitable for both residential and commercial use.
Knowing when to repair or replace your garage door rollers can save you from unexpected breakdowns and safety hazards. Here are some common signs that your rollers need attention:
1. Noisy Operation
Squeaking, grinding, or rattling noises often indicate worn-out or damaged rollers.
2. Difficulty Opening or Closing
If your garage door struggles to move along the tracks, the rollers may be worn or misaligned.
3. Visible Wear or Damage
Inspect your rollers for signs of wear, such as cracks, chips, or flat spots.
4. Uneven Movement
If one side of the door moves faster or slower than the other, the rollers may be imbalanced or damaged.
5. Rollers Falling Off the Track
Rollers that frequently fall off the track are a clear sign of misalignment or wear.
6. Age of Rollers
Most garage door rollers last 7–10 years, depending on usage. If your rollers are older, it’s time to consider replacement.
