We check the tracks and hinges for wear, clean the tracks, and follow the door maker's lubrication instructions before we leave.

Signs Your Garage Door Rollers Are Worn

Rollers are the small wheels on each side of the door that ride in the track. A standard four-section door uses 10 rollers, and a five-section door uses 12. An 8 ft door has either four or five sections, so height alone doesnt tell you the count.

Grinding or Rattling

Worn bearings grind and loose rollers rattle in the track. The noise gets worse in the cold.

The Door Shakes or Jerks

Flat spots and cracked wheels make the door shudder or hop in the track.

Cracked, Chipped or Wobbly Wheels

Look at the rollers from inside the garage. A chipped wheel, or one that wobbles on its stem, needs replacing.

Rust on Steel Rollers

Rusted bearings stop spinning, and the roller drags along the track instead of rolling.

The Opener Strains or Reverses

A door that drags on bad rollers makes the opener work harder, and some openers reverse a door that fights them.

Leave the Bottom Rollers Alone

The bottom roller sits in the bottom bracket, and the lift cable is fastened to that same bracket under spring tension. Taking it off with the tension on is how people get hurt. We change bottom rollers with the tension off the bracket.

Nylon vs Steel Garage Door Rollers

The roller on your door decides how loud it is and how long the rollers last.

Nylon Rollers

Nylon wheels run quiet and dont rust. They're the pick when a bedroom or living room is next to the garage.

Steel Rollers

Steel rollers handle heavy doors and hard use but make more noise. Steel rollers without sealed bearings rust in a wet Edmonton garage.

Bearings Matter

Roller bearings let the wheel turn on its stem. Sealed bearings keep out dirt and salt and need no added lubricant. Exposed bearings need lubrication as the roller maker directs.

Are Garage Door Rollers Universal?

Not quite. Most home doors take 2 inch rollers, but stem length and bearings change from door to door. We match the roller to your door and hinges.

Replace One Garage Door Roller or All of Them?

We replace them all. Rollers wear at the same rate, so when one cracks the rest are close behind, and a full set keeps the door rolling even. Our packages cover 10 rollers for a four-section door and 12 rollers for a five-section door. Not sure the rollers are the problem? Book a garage door repair visit and we check the whole door.

What That Garage Door Noise Means

  • Grinding as the door moves. Worn roller bearings.
  • A rattle along the track. Loose or worn rollers, or loose track bolts.
  • A squeak at each hinge. Dry hinges and roller bearings.
  • Rattling from the opener. A loose chain or a worn opener gear, not the rollers.
  • A loud bang, then a heavy door. A broken spring. Stop using the door and call.

Garage Door Roller Maintenance

  • Check the hinges and rollers a couple of times a year. Follow the door maker's lubrication instructions.
  • Lube exposed roller bearings with the product the roller maker specifies. Sealed bearings need no added lubricant.
  • Wipe dirt and salt out of the tracks with a cloth, most of all near the floor. Follow the door maker's instructions for any track lubrication.
  • A yearly tune-up covers all of this and catches worn rollers before they crack.

Our Garage Door Roller Replacement Process

Check the Door and Tracks

We check the balance, the hinges and the tracks for bends and wear.

Match the Rollers

We match the roller and stem length to your door and hinges.

Swap Every Roller

We replace the rollers section by section, with the tension off the bottom brackets for the bottom rollers.

Clean, Lube and Test

We clean the tracks, lubricate the moving parts as the door maker directs, and run the door until it rolls smooth and quiet.

Why Garage Door Rollers Wear Out in Edmonton

  • Cold. Grease thickens at -20 °C, so worn bearings drag and grind.
  • Salt and grit. Salt and sand off the car get into the bearings near the floor.
  • Daily use. A garage used as the front door runs the rollers through thousands of cycles a year.
  • Basic rollers. Rollers with no sealed bearings wear out first.
  • Bent track. A roller dragging through a bend wears flat on one side.

Garage Door Roller FAQs

How much does garage door roller replacement cost in Edmonton?

How do I know my garage door rollers need replacing?

Grinding or rattling, a door that shakes or hops in the track, and rollers that are cracked, chipped, wobbly or rusted.

How many rollers does a garage door have?

A standard four-section garage door uses 10 rollers, and a five-section door uses 12. An 8 ft door has either four or five sections, so count the sections and check the hardware rather than going by height alone.

Are nylon or steel garage door rollers better?

Nylon for a quiet door next to the house. Steel for heavy doors and hard use. Either way, sealed bearings last longer.

Can I replace garage door rollers myself?

The middle rollers come out with their hinge, one at a time, with the door closed. Leave the bottom rollers alone. They sit in the bottom bracket with the lift cable under spring tension.

Is the new roller set covered by warranty?

Yes. Rollers we supply and install come with our 3-year parts and installation warranty.
