Why Is My Garage Door Making Noise?

May 15, 2025Maintenance

Have you recently noticed your garage door making unusual sounds — like grinding, squeaking, or banging? While many homeowners think it's "normal," noisy garage doors often indicate that something is starting to fail.

Common Causes of a Noisy Garage Door

  • Worn-out rollers: Metal rollers can wear down or rust, creating friction and noise.
  • Loose hardware: Screws, bolts, and hinges can loosen over time with daily use.
  • Dry or unlubricated parts: Without proper lubrication, the door's movement becomes rough and loud.
  • Broken or aging springs: Torsion or extension springs that are damaged can creak or even snap dangerously.

What You Can Do

  • Apply garage door lubricant to rollers, tracks, and hinges.
  • Tighten any loose hardware (use a socket wrench).
  • Check for rust or wear on moving parts.

Still hearing noise? Then it's time for a professional inspection before a small issue turns into a costly repair.
