Garage door rollers break down due to several factors with lack of lubrication being one of the most common. Without proper lubrication, increased friction during movement leads to premature wear. In humid areas like Dearborn Heights, moisture exposure can cause steel rollers to corrode, weakening their structure. Debris buildup in the tracks can also disrupt smooth motion while loose or damaged hinges may misalign the roller shaft adding strain to the mechanism.
Another key issue is using the wrong roller type for the door’s size or weight which accelerates wear. Plastic rollers for instance, may crack under the weight of heavy wooden doors. At Garage Door of Dearborn Heights MI, our technicians inspect these issues and replace faulty rollers with durable materials suited for Michigan’s climate and frequent use. This indicates enduring performance and smoother operation for your gate.
Without lubrication, rollers face excessive friction, leading to noisy, rough, and premature wear.
In humid Michigan weather, steel rollers corrode over time, weakening the metal and disrupting smooth gliding.
Dirt buildup or loose hinges can cause rollers to misalign, placing extra strain on the system.
Using rollers not designed for your door’s size or weight — like plastic rollers on heavy wooden doors — accelerates failure.
Every garage door roller has a different life expectancy and performance profile depending on its material and design. Steel rollers are highly durable but require frequent lubrication and can be noisy. Nylon rollers, especially those with sealed ball bearings furnish quieter operation and longer life making them ideal for residential gates. Plastic rollers are often used in budget installations but lack the strength to support heavy doors or high daily usage.
At Garage Door of Dearborn Heights MI, we help customers choose the right roller for their roll up door system by evaluating the door weight, daily cycle count and environmental exposure. For commercial clients, we typically install 13-ball bearing steel rollers that can handle common use while for homeowners, we often recommend premium nylon rollers that offer quiet functionality with minimal upkeep.
