Is your garage door getting louder than usual? Let’s explore some common culprits:

Loose Components

• Check screws, nuts, and bolts for looseness.
• Ensure belts or chain drives are properly tightened.

Worn-out Parts

• Inspect rollers, springs, and hinges for wear and tear—these might need replacing.

Faulty Garage Door Opener

• The noise could be due to a malfunctioning garage door opener.

Environmental Factors

• Humidity might cause parts to swell or stick.
• Cold temperatures can make metal parts contract, increasing noise.

Type of Springs

• The type of springs (torsion vs. extension) can affect noise levels.

Lack of Lubrication

• Regular lubrication of essential moving parts is crucial for smooth operation.

Age

• An older garage door may have worn-out components.
• An aging opener may not function as quietly as it used to.

Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help keep your garage door operating quietly and efficiently. Address these issues to ensure smooth functioning, maintain peace in your home, and extend the lifespan of your garage door system.
