Garage Door Roller Replacement

Professional Garage Door Roller Replacement

Is your garage door noisy, jerky, or sticking? Worn rollers are often the culprit. Our expert technicians replace old, damaged rollers with premium nylon or steel rollers, restoring smooth, whisper-quiet operation. Most installations completed the same day.

Signs You Need Roller Replacement

Garage door rollers typically last 10,000-100,000 cycles depending on quality. Watch for these warning signs that indicate it's time for replacement:

Loud squeaking or grinding

Worn bearings cause excessive noise during operation. This is especially noticeable in attached garages where sound travels into living spaces.

Jerky, unsmooth movement

Damaged rollers create resistance and uneven motion, causing the door to shake or judder instead of gliding smoothly.

Visible cracks or chips

Physical damage to roller wheels needs immediate attention. Broken rollers can cause the door to jump off track or fail completely.

Door runs slow or gets stuck

Sticky rollers increase friction and slow door speed. The opener motor has to work harder, leading to premature wear.

Wobbling or shaking during operation

Worn roller bearings allow excessive play, causing the door to wobble side-to-side as it moves up and down the tracks.

Rollers have flat spots

Constant pressure in one position can flatten plastic or metal wheels, creating bumpy, uneven rolling motion.

Roller Types

Nylon Rollers

Premium nylon rollers feature sealed ball bearings that provide whisper-quiet operation. The nylon coating cushions the roller against the track, eliminating metal-on-metal contact.

  • Ultra-quiet operation
  • No lubrication needed
  • Longer lifespan (up to 100,000 cycles)
  • Smooth performance
  • Best for attached garages
  • Resistant to temperature changes

Steel Rollers

Steel rollers are the traditional choice for garage doors. They're durable and economical, making them ideal for detached garages or budget-conscious homeowners.

  • More affordable option
  • Durable construction
  • Good for heavy doors
  • Requires regular lubrication
  • Economical choice
  • Standard 10,000-20,000 cycle lifespan
