A noisy garage door is one of the most common complaints of our Denver Metro area customers. A small squeak in your garage door can quickly turn into a large problem.

 

Sometimes these noises can wake up the whole household with each opening and closing of the garage door. The good news is that in most cases a noisy garage door does not require the replacement of the entire garage door system. In most cases, a simple repair can be made to return your garage door to quiet operation.

 

Smart Garage Door Service fixes Noisy Garage Doors in Denver Metro. Same day service is available.

Sounds tell us what’s wrong. Different issues create different noises. After a brief explanation, you will know the possible causes of the sounds your noisy garage door is making and what can be done to repair them.

Our Solutions

Common Noises & Their Causes

01

Squeaking/Squealing

Typically caused by a lack of lubrication on moving parts like rollers, hinges, springs, and drive mechanisms, leading to metal-to-metal contact.

02

Grinding Sounds

Often produced by worn steel rollers that have lost their ball bearings, or stripped gears within the garage door opener.

03

Rattling/Vibration

Caused by loose hardware, such as bolts, brackets, or hinges, which allow for unwanted movement during the door’s cycle.

04

Banging/Popping

A serious sound often indicating a broken spring, binding cable, jumping roller, or damaged track section.

05

Scraping Sounds

Usually an indication of door panels rubbing against tracks, bent track sections, or rollers partially out of alignment.

06

Roller Upgrades

We offer nylon roller upgrades, which are significantly quieter and longer-lasting than standard steel rollers.

FAQ

Common Questions

Why is my garage door suddenly so loud?
A garage door can suddenly start to make noise when a part has worn outworn, broken or become loose. Typically, a dry set of rollers, loose hardware that have fallen out of place due to vibration, or worn out part(s) that have reached the end of their useful life. We will accurately diagnose the cause of your noisy garage door prior to any repair and complete the necessary work to get your garage door operating quietly and efficiently again.

It is very simple to add grease to hinges, rollers and springs of your garage door. Garage door lubricant spray is very cheap. The best time to apply grease to these parts is after a tune-up or anytime you see a build up of dirt on these parts. In addition, making sure that all of the bolts on the tracks and the opener are tightened is another simple thing to do to prevent noisy garage doors. However, when it comes to replacing parts such as worn out rollers, adjusting spring tension or fixing an opener it is best to call a professional.

Yes — significantly. Upgrading from standard steel rollers to nylon rollers is one of the most effective noise reduction improvements that can be done to an existing garage door. Nylon rollers are much quieter and last longer than steel rollers. Smart Garage Door Service offers roller upgrades as part of our garage door tune-up service and as a separate repair.
That will depend on the problem. A lubrication and hardware tightening service will cost less than repairing a spring or replacing a roller or two. We give you a fixed price for the repair before we find before starting the work.

Loose hardware of any kind can cause a noisy garage door. This is typically caused by metal parts of the door such as bolts, brackets, or hinges that are loose and vibrate or allow for movement as the door goes through its cycles. Simply tightening all of the bolts and brackets typically fixes the problem of rattling and/or vibrating.

 

Banging/Popping: This type of noise is serious and indicates possible injury to you or others around. The banging or popping sound may occur during operation of the door and sounds like a loud report of gunfire. The two most common causes of banging/popping are a broken spring or a binding cable. Intermitent problems with a jumping roller (out of track) or flat/dented section of track are also known to cause banging/popping sounds.
