What a garage door making noise around Plum Grove usually turns out to be

Most of Plum Grove's housing sits on hardware younger than fifteen years old, which shifts the usual noise causes away from plain old age and toward things like a roller that was never lubricated, a bracket that was never fully torqued down, or a door that's been run hard since the neighborhood filled in. A new door can rattle just as loud as an old one if a few bolts backed out on their own.

Why a popping garage door often just means loose hardware
