GARAGE DOOR PULLEY WHEEL REPLACEMENT & REPAIR

Signs Your Garage Door Pulley Wheel is Broken

When the pulley system on your garage door isn’t working properly, the door won’t properly open. Sometimes the door will shift from side to side while it is moving, or it will only open part way before stopping. One very clear sign that something is wrong with the pulley wheel is a loud scraping sound that occurs when the door opens or closes.

Garage door pulley wheel problems can occur for many reasons. Usually, it is because the ball bearings or rivets have worn out and the wheel simply splits apart. You can also experience problems with your garage door pulley system because the cables have worn out. Over time the cables can fray or twist, causing them to slide off the wheel. One of the main causes of garage door pulley wheel problems is inadequate maintenance, so be sure to have your pulley system inspected and lubricated several times a year.
