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

Why does this keep happening in Greensboro? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Heat and humidity takes its toll — humidity corrodes hardware, and falling limbs dent panels — so a garage door making a grinding noise is one of the more common calls our Greensboro crews run.

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.
