Fix a Noisy Garage Door in Toronto and the GTA

Common Causes of a Noisy Garage Door 

Understanding why your garage door is noisy is the first step toward fixing it. Here are some common culprits:

• Lack of lubrication: One common cause of squeaking and grinding is dry or poorly lubricated moving parts. Hinges, rollers and springs require regular lubrication to function smoothly.
• Loose hardware: Over time, bolts, nuts and other fasteners can loosen due to the constant vibrations of the garage door. This can lead to rattling, banging or squeaking sounds.
• Worn rollers: Rollers, especially those made of metal or worn-out nylon, can become noisy as they age. They may squeak, grind or even bind in the tracks.
• Worn or damaged springs: Springs are under immense tension and can become noisy if they are old, rusty or improperly balanced. A garage door’s loud bang when closing can sometimes indicate a broken spring or extreme tension issues.
• Misaligned tracks: If the tracks are not properly aligned, the rollers can bind, causing scraping or grinding noises as the door moves.
• Garage door opener issues: The opener itself can be noisy, especially in older models or those with worn gears or chains.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Garage Door Noise Reduction 

At Precision Garage Door Service, our professional technicians are experts in reducing garage door noise. When you call us for garage door noise when opening or closing, we perform a thorough inspection to accurately diagnose the problem:

• Full system diagnostic: We inspect all components, including springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks and the opener, to pinpoint the exact source of the noise.
• Lubrication and tightening: We lubricate all moving parts with a high-quality garage door lubricant and tighten any loose hardware to eliminate squeaks and rattles.
• Component replacement: If worn or damaged parts are identified, such as rollers, hinges or springs, we offer high-quality replacements. For example, upgrading to nylon rollers can significantly reduce noise compared to metal rollers.
• Track and spring adjustment: We ensure tracks are properly aligned and that springs are correctly tensioned and balanced to allow for smooth and quiet door operation. Proper spring tension is critical to prevent issues like a loud bang from a garage door when closing.
• Opener service: If the noise originates from your opener, we can diagnose and repair it. We also offer quiet-operating garage door opener options for optimal garage door noise reduction.
