FAQ

Question 1

What Size Rollers Should You Get?

Accepted Answer

Garage door rollers come in various sizes. That means you'll need to take measurements to determine which rollers to buy if you're replacing the rollers or getting new ones. The easiest way to find out what size rollers to get is to remove the rollers currently on the garage door and measure them. If you can't get the rollers off, open the door partway so that the rollers are at eye level and you can reach them easily. Rollers come in various dimensions, but the most common sizes are 1-3 inches. To determine what size rollers you need, measure across the roller head. You should also measure the shaft or stem. Be aware that if you have an older garage door, you might need to special order rollers of a custom size. No matter what size rollers your garage door takes, make sure that the rollers are long enough. If the rollers are too short, the garage door can jump off its tracks and damage other parts of the garage door, such as the panels and hinges. Ultimately, you may have a more costly garage door repair on your hands.

Question 2

How Do Garage Door Rollers Become Damaged?

Accepted Answer

Garage door rollers generally wear out with age. However, the material they are made out of can determine their longevity. Rollers typically last a few years. During that time, the housing in the door's bearings can loosen, which causes the bearings to jump out of the proper position and ultimately malfunction. Rollers can also malfunction due to the garage door's weight. The bearings are subject to more pressure if the garage door is heavier. If the garage door has crooked tracks, the rollers are more likely to become worn unevenly and break.

Question 3

What To Do If Your Garage Door Rollers Are Broken?

Accepted Answer

If the garage door rollers are broken on your garage door, it's time to contact the pros for garage door repair in Visalia. Letting a garage door go without repairs can lead to safety issues and more costly garage door problems down the road. The rollers should be inspected by a garage door repair professional to assess whether or not they can be repaired or need to be replaced. It's important to note that garage doors may still be able to function when the rollers are broken. However, you should still get the rollers replaced as soon as possible. You'll know that the rollers are on their way out if you start to hear grinding or scraping noises coming from the garage door. If the rollers are not fixed promptly, your garage door's overall function and safety may be compromised as a result.

Question 4

What Cables Does A Garage Door Have?

Accepted Answer

Your garage door comes with two types of cables called the lifting cables and the safety cables. The lifting cables help transfer energy front the springs into physically lifting the door. As the name implies, the safety cables help you avoid getting hurt if the lifting springs encounter a problem.

Question 5

How To Tell If A Cable Is Broken ?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally, you can tell if a cable on your garage door has broken and needs replacement. One key sign is if the garage door suddenly has trouble opening. A door that can't open normally can be caused by several issues, including a failing motor. Therefore, you should check the motor and other parts, such as the springs, to ensure they are not causing problems. If those parts are fine, you may be dealing with a broken spring or lifting cable that needs to be repaired immediately. Wires that are hanging loose can also indicate a problem. If you see frayed wires hanging next to the garage door, it might mean that the lifting cable has snapped. The wires will become frayed before they break, and when they do break, the individual wire strands are frayed even further.
