Garage Door Roller Repair in Attleboro, MA
Rollers carry the door along its tracks thousands of times a year. When they wear, the door grinds, shakes or can jump the track. We repair and replace garage door rollers for Attleboro homes and straighten the track they run in.
Signs your rollers need attention
Worn rollers are usually heard before they're seen.
- Grinding, rumbling or squealing as the door moves.
- The door shakes or moves in jerks.
- Rollers are wobbling, cracked or have flat spots.
- A roller has come out of the track.
- The opener strains more than it used to.
Steel rollers vs nylon rollers
Steel rollers
Durable and common on standard doors. Unsealed steel rollers can get noisy and rust in a damp garage without lubrication.
Nylon rollers
Quieter, and sealed-bearing nylon rollers need less upkeep. A good upgrade when rollers are being replaced anyway, especially under a bedroom.
Why rollers wear out
Bearings dry out and seize, then the roller drags instead of turning. Flat spots and cracked wheels follow.
Bent track from a bumped car or bike puts side load on rollers, and a door running out of true wears them faster.
Track and hinges
A roller problem is often a track problem too. Loose brackets and dented track are checked and realigned at the same time.
Hinges that are cracked around the roller stems can let rollers pull out of the track.
The bottom rollers are different
The bottom roller brackets are attached to the lift cables and sit under spring tension. Removing them without releasing tension is dangerous, so leave those to us.

Door off track?
A door that has come off its track should not be run with the opener. Close the garage off, keep people away and call. It usually needs rollers, track straightening and a cable check.
