Lubricating the overhead spring will make it much quieter also. Simply spray silicone or wipe the spring down with motor oil. Stops the noise when the spring loads and unloads from opening and closing of the door. #2...get a belt garage door drive unit.

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.

They didn't look tight at all. as a matter of fact he even wiggled them. But thanks for the info on why they are made loose as I was trying to figure ways to stop mine from moving all together. 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
@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.

I have the quietest electric garage door...at leat in my neighborhood and it's fairly aged and used daily. The secret is grease. 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.

DO NOT TAKE THE TRACK OFF…TAKE THE HINGE OFF. ONE GOOD BLAST OF WIND YOUR DOOR IS NOW DANGEROUS. Also if you can’t spin the roller the track is to tight. 30 year technician here. You can bend the top a bit on the middle of radius (the top flat part not the j portion) and just push up and the rollers pop right out where the small bend is made.

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.

@@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.

@@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

@@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

If your motor is actually vibrating it might be time to replace it before it leaves you without a garage door opener. Vibrations in an electric motor is a sign of wear and in my opinion an indicator of the need for a new motor.

If you order the plastic roller sleeves, be aware of the ludicrous delivery times. Mine were shipped 8 days after I entered my order and arrived 7 days after that, a total of 15 days. For a shipping charge of $8, I would have expected better.

What if… Create an access hole or window at the top using a hole-saw in the track. *** save the metal cut-out *** Then? Adjust & stop the door when a roller aligns with the hole & simply swap it out. Modify the left-over metal cut-out (with a popsicle stick J-B Welded over it) so that it becomes a “patch” to cover the hole.

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!

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).
