Replace worn, noisy or cracked rollers with smooth nylon or sealed-bearing rollers for quieter, easier travel.
Rollers carry the door along the tracks every time it moves, so they wear out faster than most parts. Worn rollers grind, wobble, chip and make the door rattle. Replacing them is one of the best ways to quiet a door and extend the life of the tracks. Homeowners in Nashville often replace rollers when the door gets noisy or when we are already working on springs.
We replace all rollers, not just the loudest, so the door runs evenly. Nylon rollers with sealed bearings are quiet and long lasting, and steel rollers are a basic option. We check the size and stem length so the rollers fit your hinges and tracks. We also inspect the hinges, tracks and bottom brackets, lubricate where appropriate and test the door for smooth, even travel. Rollers are a small part with a big effect, which is why they are a favorite maintenance upgrade. We can also recommend how often to inspect them, how to listen for the early signs of wear and which products to use so they stay quiet for as long as possible.
Nylon rollers are much quieter than steel and often last longer. Steel rollers are a basic, lower-cost choice.
Sealed bearings hold lubricant and keep out dust, which helps rollers last longer and run smoother.
Roller stem length and wheel size must match your hinges and track, or the door will bind.
Replacing all rollers at once gives even, quiet travel and avoids repeat calls.
