If the garage door is making too much noise, the problem may stem from several different components. Garage doors have numerous components, and any one of them can wear out with age or break over time. The springs and hinges are several significant parts on a garage door that can break and must be fixed immediately. Other components on the garage door can also become loose and cause too much noise. That can include the nuts, rollers, hinges, chain, and bolt. All these components must be in good working condition for the door to operate correctly. Even if one tiny part on the garage door breaks, it can affect the function of the entire garage door. Identifying the cause of wear and tear on the door, however, will help you determine which components require maintenance. If the rollers become wobbly, they may need to be tightened or replaced. The chain will make a loud slapping noise if it is coming loose. Bolts and nuts that need to be replaced will cause vibration.
If the garage door is making more noise than you would like, start by lubricating the components so that the garage door can function as well as it did initially. Parts that are not lubricated will otherwise rub together, which then produces excess noises such as grinding, rattling, and squeaking.
An unbalanced garage door can also cause more noise than usual. If a garage door is not balanced, it can eventually cause a snapped cable or spring. You can sometimes tell if a garage door is unbalanced if it appears uneven when it is opened or closed, gets stuck shut, or makes strange sounds such as scraping, rattling, or banging.
Along with the issues above, a garage door may not be installed properly in the first place, which then causes issues like excess noise. If the garage door sticks halfway when you open it, if it doesn't open or close properly, or if it constantly makes strange sounds, improper installation may be to blame.
