A grinding garage door in Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Coastal salt air and inland heat takes its toll — salt air corrodes hardware, and daily use wears rollers — so a garage door making a grinding noise is one of the more common calls our Santa Rosa 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.
