Broken Garage Door Rollers repair in Reynoldsburg
The telltale sign of worn or broken garage door rollers is a clicking sound when the door goes up and down. Most garage door problems are cause and effect. It could just be the rollers that are a problem, or it could be another issue that has affected the rollers. The solution is only as good as the diagnosis, and that comes from a professional garage door repair expert at Reynoldsburg Garage Door Repair LLC, serving Reynoldsburg, Columbus, Ohio, and neighboring areas.
Types of Garage Door Rollers
Garage door rollers are the small wheels that ride along the garage door track. Seven- to eight-foot high garage doors typically require 10 to 12 rollers to operate. The job of the rollers is to allow the doors to roll up and down. There are several types of rollers:
- Plastic: Plastic garage door rollers may come standard with any new-build garage door as a low-cost option, but they have no ball bearings and typically last only two or three years before replacement is necessary.
- Steel: Built with 10+ ball bearings (the more the better) that can be lubricated, steel garage door rollers can last for over five years, or around 7,000 cycles. This type of roller can be noisy if it is not equipped with a nylon tire.
- Nylon: This type of roller is long-lasting and has a sealed ball bearing design for a smooth, quiet door operation that also reduces stress on the automatic opener. Overall performance will be better with nylon rollers and have a big impact on the overall performance of the lifetime of your garage door.
