Garage door rollers, hinges and tune-ups in Haverhill
If your door has started to grind, shake or drag, the cause is often a worn roller or a loose hinge.
Say the town and what the door is doing.
What you can check
Run the door and note where it grinds or shakes. Look for a bent track, loose bolts or sections that aren't square.
Wipe dirt from the visible parts of the track. Follow the door maker's directions for lubricating rollers and hinges.
What's probably worn
A worn roller makes the door shake, grind or drag. A loose or cracked hinge lets a section flex, which can crack the panel over time.
What a tune-up can cover
The word means different things to different companies, so ask what's included. It can cover tightening hardware, replacing worn rollers and hinges, checking balance, travel limits and the safety reverse, lubricating moving parts and looking at weather seals.
If the door is already misbehaving, try the door won’t open or the door reverses.
