Q & A

When it comes to rollers on garage door systems, you have two choices – Nylon or Steel.

Steel rollers can be noisy and they can rust. Sometimes that can result in a roller head snapping off. You might have these rollers on your garage doors today.

Nylon rollers, on the other hand, are extremely quiet. The actual manufacturing process is not 100% nylon either. It’s is a steel roller surrounded by nylon. So you get the best of both solutions.

If you want to replace the garage door rollers at your home or business in Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky, give us a call at (513) 821-5095.

We carry many different types of garage door pulleys.

But since pulleys come in so many different sizes, it may be best to bring the old one with you, or at least a picture of it, and measure the diameter of the pulley.

Or if you know you have a broken pulley and need a quick repair, give us a call at (513) 821-5095 and we’ll stop by to replace it.

The black dust comes from the metal carriage traveling back and forth on the metal rail of the garage door opener. This creates metal shavings that drop on your door as the door travels.

Properly lubricating the rail and carriage assemblies periodically will allow the parts to glide and not grind.

We recommend lithium grease for most units. Be careful not to overdo it if you are doing it yourself.

If you over-lubricate it will end up dripping on your car, your floor, and your garage door.

If you need your garage door serviced, give us a call at (513) 821-5095.
