Garage door roller replacement
If the door grinds, squeals or shakes, the rollers are the usual suspect. It's a small repair, and it makes the whole door quieter and easier on the opener.

- Same day in Boynton most calls
Signs this is your problem
- Grinding or squealing as the door moves.
- The door shakes or jerks along the way.
- Rollers look wobbly, cracked or rusted.
- The opener works harder than it used to.
What we do
We replace all the rollers at once, usually ten on a two-car door, so they wear evenly. For Boynton we recommend sealed nylon rollers with steel bearings: quieter and rust-free. We lubricate the hinges and check the tracks while we're there.
Try this first
If your door is noisy but the rollers look fine, spray the hinges and roller bearings with a silicone or lithium garage-door lubricant (not WD-40, not grease on the tracks). Sometimes that's all it needed.

Nylon rollers don't rust, which matters within a few miles of the ocean, and they cut the noise by a lot.
