Is your garage door wobbling or making a loud clacking noise? Garage door rollers are small but perform an important function — keeping the garage door connected to a set of tracks.

What Are Garage Door Rollers?
Garage door rollers look like 10 to 12 small wheels that run the tracks on either side of the garage door. When you operate your garage door, these hard-working components keep it connected to the tracks, facilitating smooth, steady opening and closing. A great deal of stress is placed on this rod-and-wheel system, so keeping the rollers in good shape is essential.
Even with regular maintenance, your rollers will experience wear and tear. You may need to replace your garage door rollers every 10 to 20 years. However, certain factors can deteriorate rollers more quickly, such as:
- Materials: Steel rollers have a longer life cycle than nylon.
- Climate: South Florida’s high humidity can cause rollers to wear out faster if not plated.
- Proper maintenance: Garage door rollers and tracks should be lubricated every three months to help extend their life.
- Frequent use: Roller lifecycles are based on how often you open and close your garage, so yours may last longer or need replacement sooner than expected.
