A garage door that shakes or jerks when opening in Lorain is typically worn rollers, loose bolts, or bent track. It's worth fixing before parts wear further.

Why does this keep happening in Lorain? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door shakes when opening is one of the more common calls our Lorain crews run.

What might be wrong
