Tips to Quiet Down an Overhead Garage Door

Does your overhead door make a lot of noise? This is a problem that’s fairly easy to repair. First thing you should do is tighten down all the nuts and bolts with a wrench. That’s likely where much of the rattle exists. You’ll also want to lubricate all the springs, rollers, and hinges with an approved garage door lubricant. Never use WD40 as this can cause the components of your garage door to prematurely rust. It’s a good idea to oil your garage door at least twice a year. You can also add rubber buffers above the mounting track of the garage door. This can considerably reduce the noise. If you have a chain driven garage door opener, you might consider replacing it with a belt driven open, which operates much quieter.
