Noisy Garage Door Fixes for the North Shore
Does Your Garage Door Wake Up the Street? Here’s What to Check
Squeaks, screeches, banging, or grinding — if your garage door sounds worse than your neighbour’s leaf blower, it’s probably time for a service. Many North Shore homeowners put up with noisy garage doors for months, not realising how easily it can be fixed.
What’s Making That Noise?
Worn-out rollers — especially plastic or cheap nylon ones
Dry or rusty hinges and tracks
Loose mounting hardware
Unbalanced door strain on the motor
Tension spring damage
If your door jerks, squeals, or shudders — it’s time to act before the damage gets worse (and more expensive).
Quick Fixes: You Can Try
Spray lubricant on tracks and hinges
Tighten loose screws on brackets and rollers
Clean debris from the track
Check if the noise is only during opening or closing
If that doesn’t help, the problem could be deeper — inside the motor or torsion system.
Why It Happens on the North Shore
Many North Shore homes have older doors with aging hardware or older-style openers that haven’t been serviced in years. Add humidity, salt air, and daily use, and you’ve got a recipe for noisy operation.
