Does your garage door alert the entire neighborhood each time it opens and closes? When you have a very noisy garage it is problem that can be changed. A noisy garage is often a result of a symptom of a problem that has occurred with your garage door. Often these problems are minor and can be easily corrected. AAA Action Garage Doors will share what causes a noisy garage and how to stop the noise.
Loose Garage Door Nuts & Bolts
A garage door will shake and vibrate each time the garage door opens and closes. Over time the vibrations of the garage door can cause the screws and bolts to become loose. When the bolts and screws become loose, the garage door will shake and vibrate even more and become very loud. A garage door often becomes very noisy when the door’s screw and bolts have loosened or fallen away. To reduce the noises your garage door is making you will need to have the screws and bolts tightened back down. To make sure all of the screws and bolts are tightened down properly, you will want to hire a professional garage door service.
Dirty and Dry Garage Door Rollers
Rollers are used to keep the garage door on the tracks when the garage door opens and closes. The rollers are essential in allowing the door to open and close smoothly and safely. However, the rollers do require a bit of maintenance to operate effectively. Rollers as well as the tracks need to be cleaned and the rollers lubricated. When lubricating the rollers, you can get rid of that loud squeaking that comes from the rollers. The garage door will also move up and down with ease and improve the overall operations of the garage door.
Worn Down Garage Door Springs
A garage door operating system uses either torsion or extension springs. The springs help to maintain balance and control when the garage door is moving. When the springs begin to wear down, the garage door will not be able to open and close properly. One of the early signs that the garage door’s springs need to be replaced is loud noises. The garage door will not have a much control or balance when the springs are worn down and out of balance. When you notice that your garage door is making a lot of noise, you should have your garage door inspected, including the springs. If the springs are the cause for the noise and the springs are worn down, you may need your springs replaced.
Dirty & Rusty Garage Door Hinges
A sectional garage door uses hinges to allow the door to bend while it opens and closes. If the hinges become dirty or rusty, the garage door will make loud noises. Part of routine garage door maintenance is making sure the garage door hinges are clean, free of debris or obstruction and lubricated. By maintaining the hinges your garage door will open and close more efficiently.
