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

There's a local angle to a garage door making a grinding noise in Farmington Hills: the area's freezing winters is hard on garage doors — cold snaps brittle springs, and summer storms surge openers. Our Farmington Hills techs see these failures spike around every January cold snap, so they track down the real cause instead of masking the symptom.

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.
