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

A garage door shakes when opening rarely happens in a vacuum. Pasadena's coastal salt air and inland heat wears doors down — inland heat strains openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every late-summer 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 shakes when opening

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

Worn rollers
Old rollers wobble in the track and shake the door.
Loose hinges and brackets
Vibration loosens hardware, which then rattles.
A bent or dirty track
Debris and bends make the door bind and jump.
