Why You Should Never Ignore a Noisy Garage Door
Ensure your garage door springs are properly tensioned for smooth operation.
Most homeowners don’t think about garage door maintenance… until the door won’t open. But just like your car, your garage door needs routine care to stay safe, smooth, and reliable.

Warning Signs Your Garage Door Spring Is Wearing Out
That grinding, rattling sound coming from your garage door isn’t just annoying — it’s a warning sign. Catching issues early can save you time, money, and avoid emergency repairs.
01
Rollers or Hinges May Be Worn
Old, unlubricated rollers and loose hinges are the #1 cause of noisy garage doors. Over time, they wear down and stress the entire system.
02
Springs Could Be Under Tension
A loud bang or popping noise could mean a spring is about to snap — or already has. Don’t try to fix it yourself. It’s dangerous and needs a pro.
03
Your Door May Be Off-Balance
If your door slams shut or moves unevenly, it may be off-track or imbalanced — a major red flag that leads to opener damage.
04
Loose Hardware
Vibrations from daily use can loosen bolts, screws, and brackets. These minor fixes — when ignored — turn into major problems.
Conclusion
Noise is your garage door’s way of asking for help. Don’t wait for a breakdown — call Garage Door Doctorz for a full inspection or tune-up.
