Garage door rollers are one of the most important components of a successful garage door system. However, they can wear down over time and occasionally go off track. When your car wash or residential garage door starts creaking, squeaking, or resisting attempts to open or close, it's probably time to check the condition of your rollers. Whether you need to lubricate your rollers or change them entirely, North Shore Commercial Door has been in the garage door industry for decades, and we&#;re here to answer all garage door roller questions for businesses and homeowners alike!

Garage door rollers are small wheels or cylinders attached to the sides of a garage door&#;s panels that sit within the vertical tracks on each side of the door. Garage door rollers allow your door to move smoothly when it opens and closes. See our video below for a further breakdown!
There are three main types of garage door rollers, with each one offering its own benefits and drawbacks:
When deciding which type of garage door roller is best for you, consider the features you find the most valuable. Those on a budget will benefit from the cheaper cost of plastic rollers. If you have issues with salt or chemicals in the environment, use rollers that have stainless steel stems. Homeowners who prize quiet garage door operation above all else should choose rollers with ball bearings like nylon, but they do tend to be more expensive.
After choosing the style of your new roller, you&#;ll need to buy it in a size compatible with your garage. The most common residential garage door roller size is referred to as a &#;2-in diameter,&#; but the actual diameter is closer to 1 3/4 inches. Commercial as well as industrial garage doors typically use 2-inch or 3-inch rollers. It is also common for 3-inch rollers to be used on heavier solid wood carriage garage doors. However, these sizes are not absolute. If your garage door is a vintage fiberglass style from the s or s, you might have smaller rollers.
To know your roller&#;s exact size, measure across the roller's face as well the stem length, which is measured from the bottom of the stem to where it joins the roller. Newer stems ( and later) are typically 7/16 inches, which is the industry standard.
Like all hardware, over time it is common for rollers to become worn out, but with the proper garage door maintenance, you can keep your rollers functioning for years. To increase a garage door roller&#;s lifespan, lubricate open-design ball bearings every three to four months. If your rollers begin vibrating, squeaking, grinding, or locking up before then, they should be inspected, lubricated, and replaced if necessary.
If you notice a roller is cracked or is missing material, replace it immediately. Worn or broken garage door rollers can cause damage to other components of your door, so replacing those that have signs of wear and tear is essential to preserving your investment and keeping people safe.
The track is what securely holds and correctly guides the garage door's rollers, and a track assembly is a complete group of compatible track parts, including the track itself and necessary mounting hardware. These parts may include sections of track, a header, various brackets, screws, and nuts that are designed to be used together.
If your rollers are damaged don&#;t worry, replacing garage door rollers is a fairly simple process that you can DIY with ease! Just be mindful of your surroundings, as you&#;re working with springs under tension and a heavy garage door. You can also hire a garage door technician to replace or install garage door rollers.
