Where the noise comes from
Placing the sound on a Jacob City door
Where a noise happens in the door travel is as useful as what it sounds like. Watch the door through one full cycle and note the spot.
All the way up and down
A steady grind or rumble along the full travel comes from the rollers. Worn wheels drag in the track instead of turning, and the rollers are replaced.
At the top curve
A pop or crack as each section rolls over the curve comes from the hinges between sections. A hinge that has cracked or loosened flexes there, and it is replaced.
Rubbing along the sides
A door that brushes hard against its side seals the whole way is set too tight against them. The seals are reset so the door clears them.
At one spot on the way
A thump or catch at the same point every time means a roller is meeting a dent or a joint in the track. The bent track section is replaced.
At the very start of the lift
A jerk or bang as the door first moves can come from a spring that is losing its strength or cables that are unevenly wound. The door is brought back into balance.
A bang as it meets the floor
A door that slams down has a worn bottom seal, or an opener closing too hard and too far. The seal is replaced and the opener is set to close gently.
From the ceiling, not the door
A whine, clatter or grind from the opener housing is the opener. A slack chain, a worn gear or a loose mounting is repaired, or the opener is replaced.
Rollers and hinges that wear out
Rollers and hinges move every time the door does, so they wear with use. A roller wheel that has flattened, split or seized no longer rolls; it slides and drags. A hinge carries the weight of the section above it and a roller at its outer end, and the points where it is screwed to the door can wear loose until the hinge rocks. A rocking hinge lets the section edges rub as they pass over the curve, which adds a scrape to the knock.
Replacing the worn ones brings the noise down and stops the drag that strains the springs and the opener.
Track that has worn along with the rollers
A roller that has dragged instead of turning for a long time can wear a groove or a flat spot into the track. New rollers running in worn track wear out early, so a worn track section is replaced along with them. Track that has worked loose at its brackets shakes the door as it runs, and it is fastened and lined up again.
Creaks from the springs and rattles on shop doors
A torsion spring that is dry or worn can creak as it winds and unwinds, and the sound follows the door up and down. A spring with a gap in its coil has broken and is replaced.
Roll-up doors on shops and storage buildings rattle for their own reasons: slats worked loose, side guides bent out of line, or a bottom bar that has come loose. Those parts are repaired or replaced like any other.
Uneven doors
A door that runs lopsided or sits low at one corner
A door that rises with one side leading, closes with a gap under one corner, or sits tilted in the opening has lost the even lift it needs from both sides. The cause sits on the low side.
A lift cable
Cables lift the door from its two bottom corners. A cable that has stretched, frayed or unwound from its drum lets its corner lag behind. It is replaced or rewound so both sides lift together.
A side spring
On a door with a spring over each track, one tired or broken spring lets its side drop. The spring is replaced.
A loose bottom bracket
The bracket that ties the cable to the bottom corner can pull loose from the door, and that corner loses its lift.
A worn drum
A cable drum with worn or chipped grooves lets its cable slip and wind unevenly. The drum is replaced with the cable.
A roller out of track
A roller that has jumped out on one side lets the door twist. It goes back in, and the damaged roller or track is replaced.
