A loud garage door is more than annoying — it’s often an early warning that a part is wearing out. The good news: most causes are simple to fix.
Common noises and what they mean
Grinding or scraping usually points to worn metal rollers or a track problem. Squealing often means the door needs lubrication. A rattle is typically loose nuts and bolts. A loud bang can mean a broken spring — stop using the door if you hear one.
The quick fixes
Tighten the hardware, lubricate the rollers, hinges and springs with a garage-door-specific lube, and replace old metal rollers with quiet nylon ones. If the noise persists or the door is hard to lift, have a technician inspect the springs and tracks.
We offer quiet-door tune-ups across the Denver metro that make a dramatic difference, especially when a bedroom is near the garage.
