What Are Common Causes of a Noisy Door?

Our technicians will begin your service call by inspecting your garage door to determine the source of the noise. Common causes of a loud garage door include:

• Opener Problems: Some garage door openers are simply louder than others, but if your opener suddenly becomes noisier, it may be a sign of motor trouble or other problems.
• Roller Problems: Bent or damaged garage door rollers can cause increased noise because the door can’t move along the track as smoothly as it should.
• Spring Problems: Worn or rusted garage door springs may lead to increased noise as your garage door works harder to open and close.
• Other Factors: Damaged hinges, bent tracks, loose hardware, an unbalanced door, or even general wear and tear can cause your door to operate loudly.
