When most people think of garage doors, they think of loud and unrelenting noise. We all grew up with garage doors that were so loud and could alert the entire family of the arrival of a parent or family member. But this is by and large no longer the case. With advances in the garage repair and installation industry, many new garage door brands boast very quiet rail and wheel systems that would amaze you with their softened sound. At Fresno Garage Guys we know that If your home or office is suffering from a door that is loud and obnoxious, it might be time to have a professional take a look. Often times with a few upgrades, an old door can get a new lease on life with a few simple upgrades to their railing system, wheels, or paneling. In more rare cases, it might be time for a new door. But with a new door comes an opportunity to upgrade your homes curb appeal! So it every case, having a professional from the Fresno Garage Guys is a win-win. In any case, let’s take a deep dive into some of the reasons a garage door might be a little squeaky. Or roar like a lion, depending on the problem. Our garage door repair service helps homeowners and business owners alike keep their overhead doors quiet. Grinding, banging and loud squeak commonly associated with garage doors of the past are well documented. What's less understood by the everyday overhead door owner are which noises mean what. And even less understood are the causes and fixes that can be applied to doors that are exhibiting noisy tendencies. Let's break a few of these specific noises down. |

Old Springs
Older garage doors are more likely to squeak and rattle because they are beginning to come loose in their hinges and attachment fixings. If you think your door is older than fifteen or twenty years then the likelihood of them being made with much heavier material is higher. Heavy means that it takes a lot of force to move the parts around and with hundreds if not thousands of cycles under its belt, your door might just be a little too old for you. The only remedy for a door this old would be to replace. A new railing system, panels and especially a new opener with a modern battery would help solve this problem
The Overhead Door Opener Needs Repair
In most cases, a loud garage door is related to an opener system that is in need of repair. A faulty garage door opener can have chain belt drive issues that cause it to work too hard without enough power to lift the door. This is what causes the loud grinding sound that can make the inside of the garage as loud as a concert. Most modern overhead doors have ditched the chain for a belt drive that is less likely to creak and squeak and replaced it with other lighter and quieter materials.
Loose Nuts
Nuts and bolts coming loose are one of the simplest fixes for a loud garage door. These parts can rattle and shake while the door is in motion to make for a really unpleasant sound that might make you feel as if the doors are going to fall right off!
Your Door Needs Lubrication
Here in Fresno, California, the air can be the culprit. The metal parts of overhead doors need to be regularly oiled and lubricated to protect against the salty and dry air that can grind your moving parts to a halt. Doors that once operated smoothly and have over time gotten louder and louder are usually in need of lubrication. As they say, rust never sleeps. Over the course of the months and years, doors that have not been well greased can develop much more serious problems down the road.
Worn Out Rollers
Cheap or old rollers have many of the same problems. These rollers and wheels wear out over time and become less than round. The wobbly nature of these old wheels leads to the thumping that you can hear sometimes. Fresno Garage Guys, your local garage door repair service, will be able to identify these repair needs right away and keep the cost of such replacements as low as possible while still promoting what we think are the very best bang-for-your-buck rollers.
