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

A garage door making a grinding noise rarely happens in a vacuum. New Orleans's heat and Gulf humidity wears doors down — heat overworks openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every August heat wave. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

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.
