Your garage door should open and close smoothly — without loud noises, shaking, or hesitation. If you’re hearing grinding sounds, feeling vibrations, or dealing with a stuck or uneven door, worn or damaged rollers are often the cause.
At Kozmo Garage Doors, we specialize in roller repair and replacement for homeowners. Our expert technicians use only high-quality, USA-made rollers to restore your door’s smooth, quiet operation — often with same-day service.
Whether your rollers are made of plastic, steel, or nylon, we have the tools and experience to repair or replace them quickly and safely.
Garage door rollers are small but essential. When they begin to wear out, they compromise the performance and safety of your entire garage door system. Ignoring these early warning signs can lead to more expensive damage down the line.
Look out for these common symptoms:
Reliable, safe, and efficient Garage Door solutions you trust.
Garage door rollers may seem like small components, but they play a critical role in the smooth, quiet operation of your garage door. These rollers guide your door along its tracks and support its weight during every open and close cycle. Over time, daily use and tough weather conditions can take a toll on them — leading to wear, malfunction, or even complete failure.
Here are the most common reasons garage door rollers fail:
Most rollers have a limited lifespan. As they age, the material wears down, bearings loosen, and the rollers become less effective — often resulting in loud noises or uneven movement.
Without proper lubrication, rollers can seize up or grind against the track. This leads to excessive noise, added strain on your opener, and accelerated wear on both the rollers and tracks.
Humidity and salty coastal air can quickly rust steel rollers or degrade plastic ones. Corrosion reduces performance and may eventually cause the rollers to seize or crack under pressure.
If your door is misaligned or has come off track, the rollers may bear uneven loads or twist out of place. This added pressure can crack the roller housing or dislodge it from the track entirely.
Rollers installed incorrectly or replaced with low-grade parts can fail prematurely. Poorly aligned rollers also wear faster and compromise the safety of your entire door system.
At Kozmo Garage Doors, we believe in making the repair process simple, stress-free, and transparent. Whether your rollers are squeaking, sticking, or completely failing, our team is equipped to handle the job efficiently and with care. Here’s what you can expect when you schedule a roller repair or replacement service with us:
Our expert technician will begin with a full inspection of your garage door system. We check each roller for wear or damage, inspect the tracks for bends or misalignment, and evaluate nearby components like hinges, brackets, and bearings to identify anything contributing to the issue.
Once we’ve pinpointed the problem, we’ll explain exactly what needs attention and provide a clear, itemized quote. No hidden fees. No upselling. Just honest pricing and expert advice so you can make an informed decision.
Our fully stocked service vehicles carry high-quality nylon, steel, and sealed bearing rollers — so in most cases, we can complete your repair the same day. We use only USA-made, commercial-grade parts designed for quiet, long-lasting performance in a unique climate.
Before we leave, we run a complete safety and functionality check. This includes testing the door’s balance, opener responsiveness, and sensor alignment to ensure everything works together safely and smoothly.
We respect your home. After the repair, we’ll clean the work area, dispose of any damaged parts, and walk you through exactly what was done. We’ll also share maintenance tips to help extend the life of your new rollers and keep your door operating flawlessly.
If your door is noisy, shaking, or moving unevenly, your rollers may be worn or damaged. Visual signs like cracks, chips, or rust are also clear indicators it's time for a replacement.
The average cost ranges from $100 to $200, depending on your door size, roller type, and number of rollers replaced. We always provide an upfront quote before starting any work.
While it’s possible to replace only a few, we recommend replacing all rollers at once for balanced movement and long-term reliability — especially if the others are the same age.
We install high-quality nylon, steel, and sealed bearing rollers, depending on your needs and door type. Nylon rollers are quieter and more durable for residential doors.
Yes — nylon rollers are quieter, require less maintenance, and tend to last longer. Steel rollers are more budget-friendly but can be noisy and require regular lubrication.
Standard plastic or metal rollers may last 5–7 years, while premium nylon rollers with sealed bearings can last 10–15 years with proper care.
It’s not recommended. Garage doors are under high tension and can be dangerous to work on without proper training and tools. Professional installation ensures safety and longevity.
