Common Causes of Garage Door Noise
Before you can silence your garage door, it's important to know where the noise is coming from. The most common culprits include:
Worn rollers or hinges
Loose metal components
Outdated chain-driven openers
Lack of lubrication on moving parts
Misaligned or bent garage door tracks
Our expert team offers detailed garage door maintenance to catch these issues early.
