A garage door that shakes or jerks when opening in Southfield 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. Southfield's freezing winters wears doors down — summer storms surge openers — and we get a clear run of these calls every January cold snap. 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.
