A grinding garage door in Eugene usually points to worn rollers, dry hardware, or a strained opener. It's worth fixing before the noise turns into a breakdown.

In Eugene, the weather is often part of the story behind a garage door making a grinding noise. Months of constant damp and cold mornings mean damp air rusts springs & cables and moisture warps wood & seals across Lane County — exactly the kind of wear a local tech knows to check first.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door making a grinding noise

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

Worn-out rollers
Old steel rollers grind in the tracks as the bearings wear down.
Dry, un-lubricated hardware
Springs, hinges, and rollers need periodic lubrication to run quietly.
A failing opener gear
A grinding from the opener itself often means a stripped drive gear.
