Our Roller Replacement Process
Inspect All Rollers
All rollers are inspected — broken or worn ones are identified and the track condition is also checked.
Remove Roller Brackets
Hinge brackets holding each roller stem are loosened to allow roller removal without disturbing track alignment.
Install New Rollers
New nylon or steel rollers with sealed bearings are installed in each hinge bracket.
Lubricate Track & Rollers
Tracks are cleaned and all rollers, hinges, and springs are lubricated with appropriate garage door lubricant.
Test & Adjust

Frequently Asked Questions — Roller Replacement
What's the difference between nylon and steel rollers?
Nylon rollers with sealed bearings run quieter and don't require lubrication as often. Steel rollers are more durable for heavy doors but can be noisier. We'll recommend the right type for your door.
How often should rollers be replaced?
Standard plastic rollers may need replacement every 5–7 years. Quality nylon rollers can last 10+ years with proper maintenance.
