As the rollers wear, they can cause your door to move out of alignment or slip off of the tracks, causing a squeaking, screeching or vibrating sound. Depending on the type of rollers you have, you may need to lubricate or replace them: 

Plastic: You need to replace plastic rollers about every two years, as they work without ball bearings and tend to wear down quickly. 

Steel: Steel rollers last longer than plastic ones, though they are more susceptible to rust and corrosion. 

Nylon: Nylon rollers last just as long as steel rollers and make less noise. 

Common Causes Depending on how long you’ve had your rollers, they may be reaching the end of their life. Your rollers experience wear and tear every time you open and close your garage door — the more you use the door, the sooner your rollers will wear down.

Solutions The number of ball bearings in your rollers will affect how long they last. In some cases, you will need to replace your rollers to ensure your door stays aligned. However, you can try to fix your rollers first by lubricating them. If there’s any rust build-up, lubrication will help remove it. It’s best to lubricate steel or nylon rollers about twice a year. If your rollers use unsealed ball bearings, apply the lubrication directly on the bearings. If you find that you do need to replace your rollers, we recommend contacting a professional at  Berry Garage Door Company to ensure proper installation and maintain your door’s alignment.
