Why Your Garage Door Is Making Noise—and How We Fix It
A little noise when your garage door opens is normal—but loud grinding, screeching, or popping sounds? Not so much.
At A&N Garage Door Services, we get calls every week from homeowners and business owners across Indiana asking:
“Why is my garage door suddenly so loud?”
Here’s what those noises usually mean—and how we fix them fast.
🔧 1. Squeaking or Screeching = Dry or Dirty Parts
If your garage door sounds like it needs oil, that’s exactly what it needs. Over time, hinges, rollers, and springs dry out or collect dust, which causes that high-pitched screeching sound.
📍 Our fix: A professional lube and tune-up, where we clean and lubricate all moving parts.
🛠️ 2. Popping or Banging = Spring or Track Issues
Loud popping or banging noises often mean the spring is under pressure or not aligned properly. It could also be the rollers struggling inside a warped or dirty track.
📍 Our fix: We inspect the torsion or extension spring, check tension, realign the tracks, and replace worn rollers if needed.
🧲 3. Grinding or Rattling = Opener or Hardware Problems
Grinding can come from the motor, gear system, or loose nuts and bolts vibrating during operation. If left alone, these can damage the entire opener system.
📍 Our fix: We tighten all hardware, check the opener, and make sure the system is running smoothly and safely.
🪵 4. Rubbing = Misaligned Door Panels or Bent Tracks
If the door rubs as it opens or closes, it may be uneven or out of balance. This puts extra strain on the motor, springs, and cables—and makes an awful sound.
📍 Our fix: Realign the door, fix track issues, and test the balance for safe operation.
🧰 Bonus: Noisy Doors Are a Warning Sign
Garage doors are like cars—they make noise when something’s wrong. If you ignore it, it usually leads to a bigger (and more expensive) problem.
🏢 Commercial Garage Doors Make Noise Too
If you own or manage a business, we also handle commercial garage door noise issues, including motors, loading dock doors, and overhead rolling doors.
📍 We offer same-day commercial service across Indiana.
