Is Your Garage Door Noisy? Here’s How to Quiet It Down

A loud garage door isn’t just annoying—it can be a warning sign that something’s not right. Fortunately, many noise issues are simple to fix.

Here are the most common culprits:

  • Dry or Rusty Rollers: These can grind or squeak as they move along the track.

  • Loose Hardware: Screws and bolts can loosen over time and cause rattling.

  • Lack of Lubrication: Moving parts need regular lubrication—use garage door-specific lubricant, not WD-40.

  • Worn-Out Hinges or Springs: Old, damaged components can make clunking or banging noises.

Quick Fixes You Can Try:

  • Tighten all bolts and brackets.

  • Lubricate rollers, hinges, and springs with a silicone-based spray.

  • Check for worn-out parts and replace if needed.
