You may not realize how often you use your garage door until something goes wrong. Keeping your garage door in good condition is important for your convenience and safety. Your garage door’s components will sometimes need to be replaced, including the rollers.

The signs that your garage door needs new rollers include:

Excessive Vibration When Operating

Your garage door should open and close smoothly. Your garage door’s rollers can become worn out over time. This causes your garage door to vibrate and shake excessively when it’s opening or closing. If your garage door seems like it’s going to jump off its track every time you operate it, it’s likely that your rollers need replacing. Have your garage door checked out by a repair technician.

Door is Frequently Out of Alignment

This is one of the easiest ways to tell that your garage door needs new rollers. The rollers help to keep the garage door aligned properly. It needs to stay in alignment in order to function correctly. If your garage door is frequently running off its hinges or slipping out of alignment, the rollers will need to be replaced.

Unusually Noisy

When your garage door becomes excessively noisy, it’s usually a sign that something has begun to go wrong. Unusually loud noise can indicate that your rollers have become rusted. It may also mean that your garage door system needs to be lubricated. You should have your garage door examined by a service technician. They will be able to determine if your rollers need to be replaced.
