A loud garage door is usually telling you something. Here are the most common sources of the noise.
Worn Rollers and Loose Hardware
Metal rollers wear out and get noisy over time, while nylon rollers run much quieter. Vibration also loosens nuts and bolts, so rattling often means hardware simply needs tightening.
Springs and Lack of Lubrication
A squeaking or popping noise frequently comes from dry hinges, rollers, and springs that need lubrication. A grinding or scraping sound, however, can signal a track or spring problem worth inspecting sooner.
