Garage Door Roller Repair Oakland

If your garage door is making grinding noises, sticking, or just not operating as smoothly as it used to, there’s a good chance the rollers need some TLC. Rollers are those small wheels attached to the sides of your garage door that allow it to effortlessly glide along the track each time you open and close it.

The rollers on a garage door play a vital role in its overall function and performance. When rollers wear out or break, it puts extra strain on the opener motor and can lead to bigger, more expensive problems down the road. Don’t wait until it’s too late – here are the telltale signs you need garage door roller repair:

  • Loud, screeching noises when opening/closing
  • Door sticking or hesitating on its track
  • Visible cracks or chips on roller surfaces
  • Door feels “heavy” and difficult to operate manually

Types of Garage Door Rollers

There are three main types of rollers used on garage doors near Oakland:

Nylon Rollers

The standard, affordable option that works well for light/moderate use. Can wear out faster than other materials.

Steel Rollers

More heavy-duty and durable rollers that can better withstand the elements. More expensive upfront cost.

Plastic Rollers

Quieter operation but more prone to cracking over time. Not as long-lasting as steel.

The Garage Door Roller Repair Process

Repairing your garage door’s rollers is a multi-step process best left to the professionals at Garage Door Repair Oakland:
