Garage Door Roller Repair

Garage Door Roller Repair

We at Angel Garage Door Repair and Gate take pride in our craftsmanship, especially when it comes to smaller components replacements and repairs. Such minor repairs include the garage door rollers.

Roller’s primary function is to keep the sections of the garage within the provided L-shaped garage door tracks and provide a smooth and effortless movement for opening/closing.

These rollers are usually mounted to the sections of the garage door, and resemble a wheel with a small metal rod. Within the wheel you will find a greased up encasing of steel bearings. A typical sectional double car (16’x7′) garage door will have roughly 10 garage door rollers.

The replacement process entails removal of sections, loosing up the tracks and the cable/pulley system. In some cases, we may need to disconnect the garage door opener (depending on the model).

Typical lifespan of bearing can vary from 5 years to lifetime.

We carry many sizes and brands to perfectly match the factory recommended settings, including plastic, metal, and nylon rollers. Each one having their own benefit.
