One of the worst things about a garage door is how noisy they can be when they are opening and closing. The noise can deter you from opening it when people are sleeping in your home which can be inconvenient when you are coming and going. You may think that there is nothing you can do about a noisy garage door but there are several things you can do to correct the problem. The first and most important part of having a quiet door is to have it maintained on a regular basis by a professional who knows what they are doing.
VF&I Garage Door Services Lists Reasons Why Your Garage is Noisy & What You Can Do About it
Why Is Your Garage Door Opener So Noisy: There are several factors that contribute to the amount of noises your garage door is making when it is opening and closing. One of the most common problem is with the rollers that assist the door when you want it to roll up or down. When the rollers are worn out and overused they can cause some noise since they won’t spin properly and will more than likely be sliding. You can also have a chain drive garage door which overall is a noisier mechanism. The door makes more noise than a motor that uses a rubber belt to drive the door. Another common problem is when the garage door is not level. The door needs to be able to open and close on both sides at the same time and when that doesn’t happen the panels will shift and make some noise. There are some pieces in the garage door mechanism that help to absorb the vibration. They are only able to absorb so much and if the door is too off level it will not be able to help. The motor itself can also cause some noise when it is about to go out or it is overworked and the mechanism is not functioning well.
Garage Door Noise Reduction: If you want to make some changes to your garage door to make it a bit quieter you can make sure that you lubricate all the moving parts. Just like you need to lubricate your sliding glass door or the hinges on your doors, the same goes for the garage door. There are several parts that move on a garage door that needs to be lubricated on a regular basis. You can also make sure that your garage door is not damaged at all. If you notice that there are parts that seem broken or damaged in any way you want to have it repaired as soon as possible. You can also have the door maintained by a garage door professional so that they can make the necessary repairs as well as prevent other damage from happening.
