What a garage door making noise usually means

A grinding or rattling sound almost always traces back to rollers that have worn down or gone dry inside their sleeves, especially on doors that have run the same hardware for years without lubrication. A sharp bang is different — that's more often a spring losing tension or a cable slipping off a drum, and it deserves a look before the door gets used again.

Garage door that squeaks and rattles in Needville, TX: technician arriving at the home
