Frequently Asked Questions
In this case, you should check to see if your door is off balance, check to see if the cables on each side of the door are intact; if the cables are intact, then check the spring, which is right above the garage door when the garage door is closed, to see if there’s anything irregular. In most cases, cable replacement costs about $130-150 for two, and spring replacement costs about $230-250, for the most common 8”x7” garage doors.
Can you tell where the noise if coming from? The door itself or the opener? Which you may recognize as the “light box” hanging from the garage ceiling. If the noise came from the door spring or cable, lubrication may help you solve the problem, and WD40 may just be your solution. If the noise comes from the garage door opener, this could mean the opener is getting old and will need a replacement. Typically, a garage door opener lasts about 10-15 years.
