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

Living with Schenectady'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 making a grinding noise, which is why our Schenectady County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

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.
