What a garage door roller making noise usually means before it seizes

Every roller has a small bearing inside the wheel, and once that bearing dries out or wears through, the wheel stops turning smoothly and starts dragging or grinding against the track instead. That's the sound most people hear first — a rough, rhythmic noise that matches the door's travel, getting worse near the bend at the top of the track where the roller works hardest.
