FAQs: Why Is My Garage Door Noisy?
Why is my garage door making loud banging sounds?
Loud bangs often mean a spring or roller has become loose or misaligned. We recommend you stop using the door and call a professional immediately.
Can I fix a noisy garage door myself?
Minor issues, such as lubrication or tightening bolts, can be addressed through DIY methods. However, for tasks involving springs, motors, or alignment, it's best to call a technician to ensure safety.

Common Noises and What They Mean
Garage doors can make a range of noises — each one telling a different story:
- Squeaking or Screeching: Usually caused by dry rollers, hinges, or metal tracks.
- Banging or Clunking: Can point to loose hardware or unbalanced springs.
- Grinding or humming: Often a sign of a struggling motor or worn gears.
Why It Happens
- Lack of lubrication (especially in winter)
- Worn rollers or hinges
- Misaligned tracks
- Loose nuts, bolts, or chains
- Motor strain from age or misuse
How to Fix a Noisy Garage Door (DIY or Call a Pro)
Lubricate the moving parts.
Use a silicone-based spray or lithium grease on hinges, rollers, and springs.
Tighten everything
Check and tighten any loose bolts, nuts, and track brackets.
Check the opener motor.
A humming motor with no movement may mean it’s time for servicing.
