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

Living with Philadelphia's freezing winters means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. snow & ice jam tracks and road salt corrodes hardware both feed straight into a garage door shakes when opening, which is why our Philadelphia County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.
