@pauldefillippo84902 жыл бұрын
The issue I have with those sleeves is they're usually too tight in the roller carrier, yes they do prevent rattle, they also prevent the roller from freely moving in and out of the carrier as the door travels up and down. The reason why you want the roller to freely slide in and out is because the track is not guaranteed to be equal distant from the door the entire travel, if the door gets hung up on anything and if the rollers cannot freely move your door will get torn up. Some of the earliest models of sectional garage doors had fixed rollers, the moment the garage shifted, or any damage to the track, the door would not function.

So you likely save me from a huge problem down the road. I am still coming up with diy fixes to silence the door.. I was thinking of painting the inside of the track with a rubberized paint or some type of sylicone. because that makes noise too. thanks for sharing your understanding of the wheels.
@pauldefillippo8490 Жыл бұрын
@@colleenscottcarmello5103 does the track make noise or the roller rolling through the track make noise? If you have steel rollers or if you have a bearing assembly to the roller and the assembly is getting worn out and the wheel can pivot from side-to-side it'll make a rattle noise similar to that of a baby rattle. A small bit of wobble from side-to-side is usually not an issue but once it gets to be more than 15° from side-to-side it'll start to make noise, generally once they can pivot 30° that's when I highly recommend replacement because they're about completely fall apart.

I recently purchased a set of your plastic sleeves. They were NOT equal in dimeter. None were too large, but some were too small. I ended up splitting the small ones to make them work. It's obvious they are VERY cheap, so you should at least supply them in uniform size. That being said, I believe they did help some. At the same time, I also replaced the rollers as you suggested, insulated the door, installed "GREEN" spring loaded hinges, and adjusted the main spring tension. It is now the smoothest, quietest and best insulated garage door I have ever had.

Grease everywhere just to the point that it doesn't fall onto the floor or cars. Also a properly adjusted door opener chain goes a long way too as well as side supports from the walls to the rails using angled channel track. This makes the whole set-up more rigid.

Mr. Quantum Techcrypto, I have a quick question. Are you aware of a standard style garage door like the one in the video (two car, 4 panel about 7' tall) that is capable of not leaking rainwater from between the panels when opening? I have a garage workshop with several cast iron machines that I would like to prevent water from dripping on and rusting them. My wife's car still needs to be parked in there, so I have no choice or say in the matter, LOL. I do cover them, but a door that was sealed between the panels would be better. Side or edge runoff can be addressed if necessary. Any info would be helpful. All the Best, Chuck.
@pauldefillippo84902 жыл бұрын
@@toolchuck Are you seriously asking someone how to not get your garage door wet??? Because when the door is in the open position gravity does its thing, and the only way to get water to not drip from the door when it's open would be for the door to not get wet in the first place. My advice, build an overhang.
@pauldefillippo84902 жыл бұрын

@@pauldefillippo8490 Yes I am, I thought you, being a "30-year technician" would have some insight on the matter. I'm not asking about the door getting wet, I'm asking about keeping it from leaking/dripping between the panels as it is opened after getting rained on, and no, an overhang in my situation like others is not an option. It is a common complaint for many as garages aren't always used for cars, as you should know. As always, All the Best, Chuck
@pauldefillippo84902 жыл бұрын
@@toolchuck I'm not the one with 30 years experience, I only have 17. I know the complaint that you are referring to sir, I have been asked it before. I am not aware of any solution to the problem that you have posed. A tongue and groove door would work better than a shiplap door which would definitely be better than a ball and socket style panel profile. The reason why there's no solution is because when the door opens the panels will separate so even if there was a gasket between the panels water still has an opportunity to flow around the gasket as the panels separate. So again the only way to truly prevent it would be to not get the door wet in the first place or wipe it down. You could try stretching a tarp or some visqueen underneath and between the track so that when the door opens it would drip onto the plastic. Other than that I don't know what you could do to the door that would prevent the water infiltration.

One by one, remove a hinge, inset the new wheel and replace the hinge. Anything else and you’re endangering yourself and probably going to end up calling a professional to fix the problem. If the simple swapping the rollers by doing a hinge is too difficult, you aren’t qualified to do it yourself, or the parts don’t fit. Have an EMT or Paramedic on speed dial, if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s nearly guaranteed you’ll be needing one

No way a professional would use those sleeves. The roller stems need to slide freely in and out and sometimes further into the hinge than that clip will allow. Homeowner fix for sure. That way when the door fails, the pros get a call anyway!

I don't see how the 'lock washers' quiet the operation or serve any purpose.

7-16 millimeter? That tells me all I need to know about the experience at play here.

But what if I like the rattle Esse? WTH, 7/16 mm deep socket?

Sorry I meant 7/16 inch
@davidater92 жыл бұрын
Wow, good catch! I would bet a really simple person would have tried to use a 5MM socket instead of 7/16th. /s

Weird. This seems like the track is not installed properly in the first place. My garage door used to be a bit loud - because the chain was loose and hitting but the way I made it super quiet - upgraded to a belt drive opener (even has a backup battery when the power is out it's good for at least a few opens and closes).
