Cables, Rollers & Hinges FAQ
Cables, Rollers & Hinges: common questions.
Why is my garage door so loud?
Grinding, popping or scraping usually comes from worn steel rollers, dry or cracked hinges, loose hardware or tracks that need lubrication. Swapping in sealed nylon rollers and tightening and lubricating the hardware typically makes a door dramatically quieter.
What happens if a garage door cable breaks?
The door can hang crooked, jam in the track or drop suddenly, because the cables carry the door's weight with the springs. Stop using the door and call — we replace cables in pairs and rebalance the door.
Can you fix cables and rollers on the same visit?
Yes. Our trucks carry common lift cables, rollers and hinges, so most hardware repairs are finished in one visit.
How do I know if my garage door rollers need replacing?
Look for rollers that wobble, have cracked or flat-spotted wheels, or bearings that spin loosely, and listen for grinding as the door moves. Worn rollers also make the door shake side to side.
