The Fastest Wearing Garage Door Parts

08/01/2015 Back To Blog

With automatic garage door installation, you enjoy convenient entry and exit with your car and a modern garage with good protection from thieves and from the elements. As an owner, you are responsible for keeping the door in good condition. For this, you need to have excellent understanding of its design and operation. Find out which components have the highest rates of wear and tear and how to ensure that they will not give you headache.

Better Knowledge for Greater Protection


The garage door springs are subject to extensive wear and tear because they work to counterbalance the entire weight of the door. Basically, these components do most of the work during opening and closing while the share of the effort belonging to the opener is much smaller. The good news is that these components are made to be extremely strong and durable. In order to help them work optimally for longer, you should clean and lubricate them on a regular basis. They may require readjustment from time to time as well.

The lift cables belong to the spring system. They connect the bottom section of the door to the spring to enable proper raising and lowering. Even though they are quite thick, they are under great tension. That is why they are prone to fraying. These garage door parts do not require lubrication, but you have to inspect their condition frequently. If you notice any fraying or minor cuts on the surface of the cables, you must have them checked and replaced without delay.

Since they are subject to great friction, the traditional metal garage door rollers are subject to great wear and tear. Both the wheels and the stems can get seriously worn. When this happens, the overhead door usually makes popping sounds which sound really strange. Now property owners can select from rollers with nylon wheels. They do not require lubrication and are considered to operate normally for longer.

The hinges of sectional doors also tend to wear fairly quickly. This applies to both the hinges holding the panels together and to the ones housing the roller stems. It is essential for these components to be made from strong and sufficiently thick galvanized steel. They require regular cleaning and lubrication as well.
