The rollers on a garage door are little wheels that are part of the opening mechanism. They guide the door along the track system, which the door uses to open and shut.

garage door roller issues

Unfortunately, you may experience problems with your garage door rollers, such as garage door noise, especially as you use them more and more. There are a number of issues that can arise with garage door rollers that stop them from functioning, and these are usually related to the garage door tracks. For example, if your garage door tracks are dented, then your garage door roller probably won’t glide properly along the track, and this stops them from functioning fully. This can also damage the roller over time.

Also, if your garage door tracks are too loose, then your rollers might fall off the track or not glide properly. This also impacts the functioning of your garage door and prevents it from working correctly.

Types of Garage Door rollers

How are garage door wheels attached to the garage door?

The garage door rollers are not floating; they appear to be because they’re connected by hinges. Hinges come in two tubular shapes so that the first tube can pivot and the second inserts the garage door roller’s shaft. Also, each garage door panel has a different angle as it moves from vertical to horizontal , which is why hinges are numbered. The wheel on the garage door is prevented from falling off track by a shaft that loosely fitting inside the tube. If there were no space between them, or if the connection was rigid, then the rollers would come out of place and cause misalignment.

The best garage doors on the market require twin or tandem hinges installed on double end stiles. Stiles provide support for various purposes in sectional garage doors, such as holding up roller brackets and hinge assemblies or serving as a base for the lock set. Stiles play a crucial role in offering a durable base and frame, similar to how skeletons are for our bodies. The skin of the door, also known as panels, is akin to our skin in that both provide coverage but can be easily damaged without the appropriate support beneath it. Because dual hinges need additional stabilization when the door is moving, long stem rollers are used. Most long stem rollers come in either 7 or 9-inch axles.

Having a track that consists of a vertical and horizontal side on each door allows the door to roll smoothly along its own axis. When the two sections join, difficulties can sometimes occur. If the sections aren’t aligned correctly, a gap or ridge might make the rollers get stuck or create friction, potentially making the door go off-track or causing early wear down on the rollers. If your door opener isn’t moving the door smoothly or you hear popping sounds, it’s likely that the tracks are misaligned. The tracks must be installed evenly with the door and next to each other. If one is installed too high or low, then the door will get stuck often. All garage doors components are different based on their level of quality. This includes steel strength, gauge, and details addressed during manufacturing which all play an important role in overall track quality.
