How do you change rollers on a roller door?

Published in Garage Door Repair 1 min read

Changing rollers on a roller door involves safely removing the old rollers and installing new ones. Based on the provided reference, here's a simplified approach:

  1. Grip and Pull Outward: Grip the roller assembly and pull it outward from the track.
  2. Create an Opening: Move the assembly up a small amount to create a gap of about one inch. This can be done on one or both sides of the roller bracket.
  3. Replacement: The opening created will allow you to remove the old roller and insert the new one.

Important Considerations:

  • Safety First: Always ensure the door is properly supported before attempting any roller replacement. A helper is highly recommended. If you're uncomfortable, consult a professional.
  • Roller Type: Use rollers that are compatible with your door's track.
  • Lubrication: Consider lubricating the new rollers and track to ensure smooth operation.
