What Causes a Noisy Garage Door? 

Noisy garage doors can be caused by several reasons. Some of the most common include a problem with the garage door opener, a garage door that is off its tracks, broken springs, worn or broken hinges that normally safely open and close the garage door, loose hardware and components, parts that need to be lubricated, and other kinds of wear and tear. No matter what the cause is, a noisy garage door signals that there is a problem that needs to be fixed. If your garage door is creating strange noises, let us know immediately. We’ll listen to what you have to say about the garage door and listen to the noises to determine the root cause of the problem. Skilled technicians will be able to tell if the unusual sounds are coming from the garage door opener, a problem with the door’s alignment, worn-out rollers, or another cause altogether. Whenever you tell us that something is wrong with your garage door, we’ll send out a truck prepared for diagnostics, repairs, if possible, and a thorough inspection. Depending on the source of the problem, we may be able to fix the garage door on the spot. We can also tell you about upgrades available to ensure your garage door runs smoothly and efficiently.

 Along with the issues above, a garage door may develop excessive noise due to: 

• Bent tracks
• Loose parts
• Poor lubrication
• Improper installation

A noisy garage door can be caused by problems with one of the many working parts of a door including the garage door opener, an unbalanced or off track garage door, worn or broken springs or hinges, loose hardware, parts that need lubrication, or other normal wear and tear.

Born to Be Loud

The first potential cause of a noisy garage door is simply its design. Some less expensive doors trade a lower price for a louder operation. Check out these different types of opening systems and see what the balance is between sound, functionality and cost.

Chain Drive. As the least expensive option, the chain drive system is the most common door and the loudest. It can be a reasonable choice for a detached garage.
Belt Drive. By replacing a chain with a belt, you increase your cost but significantly decrease your noise level.
Screw Drive. This system is in between a chain and belt drive system in terms of noise, but contains fewer parts and therefore less maintenance.
Problematic Noise Makers

Some common reasons for noisy garage doors include:

• Opener problems. Although certain models of garage door openers are naturally louder, others may become louder when there is a problem with the motor.
• Roller damage. If your garage door rollers are bent, they will create more noise as they try to move along their tracks.
• Spring issues. Over time, the springs in your garage door may become rusted or worn down, which can cause additional noise when operating.
• Improper balance. In some cases, your garage door will be off balance and create a lot of noise as a result. This is an important issue to address because, over time, an imbalanced door can cause an automatic garage door to stop working.
• Loose hardware. Similar to any mechanical system, parts become loose and worn over time. Any one of many parts may need tightening, lubricating or maintaining to keep them running smoothly and quietly.
