Quiet a garage door that squeaks, rattles, grinds or bangs by fixing the real cause.
A noisy garage door is more than an annoyance. Squeaks, rattles, pops and grinding are signs that parts are dry, loose or wearing out. In a house with a bedroom over the garage or an attached family room, noise carries. Homeowners in Nashville call us when a door has started to sound like a freight train.
We listen to the door run and look for the source. Dry hinges and rollers squeak, loose hardware rattles, worn rollers grind and a tired spring creaks or pops. We tighten hardware, lubricate with the right products and replace worn rollers and hinges. If the opener is the source, we look at the chain, belt or drive and talk about quieter options such as a belt drive or a DC motor.
Steel rollers wear out and nylon rollers are much quieter. Worn hinges squeak and let the door shake.
Vibration works bolts loose over time, so we tighten brackets, track mounts and fasteners.
Springs creak and pop when dry or when they are near the end of their life. We lubricate and inspect them.
Chain drives are noisier than belt drives. We look at the drive and discuss quieter upgrades.
