Annoying Noises and How to Eliminate Them Forever

A garage door in motion can produce all sorts of rumbling vibrations, which can easily migrate indoors, especially if there's a living space above it. Here are a couple quick and inexpensive fixes that will help reduce the rumble. Fix 1: Install Anti-Vibration Pads Cushion the connection between the opener and the framing with rubber pads. Use heavy-duty rubber washers, cut pads out of an old tire, or buy specially made rubber/cork antivibration pads. You'll be adding about an inch in thickness, so you'll need four longer lag screws and some fender washers. Fix 2: Replace Metal Rollers with Nylon Nylon rollers are quieter and unlike metal rollers, don't require periodic oiling. A 10-pack is available online or at garage door suppliers. To install them, lower the door and remove the hinges one at a time. Beware: On some garage doors, the bottom roller brackets (closest to the ground when the door is closed) are attached to a cable and garage door springs. In this case, you should not remove the roller or bracket without the help of a knowledgeable professional. Removing these parts with the garage door closed could result in rapid discharge of the tension in the spring and any number of safety issues. Learn how to tune up your garage door yourself.
