Match the noise to the cause
- Squeak: dry hinges or rollers — lube with garage-door silicone or lithium spray
- Grind: worn metal rollers — swap for nylon (~$60 in parts)
- Pop: loose hardware — torque hinge and track bolts
- Bang: chain-drive opener or unbalanced door — adjust chain tension or call a pro
- Rattle: loose track brackets — tighten lag bolts into the studs
Lube what to lube
Hinges, rollers, springs, and the opener rail. Never WD-40 — it's a degreaser. Use a garage-door-specific silicone or white lithium spray.
