Rollers are an essential component of the exterior garage door system. Rollers rotate on a shaft and have ball bearings, which allow the door to slide smoothly, making it simple to open. Rollers are used for making a garage door that is not only durable but also energy-efficient.

There are three different types of rollers, including steel, plastic, and nylon.

Garage door systems usually contain two types of springs. Torsion springs keep the garage door lifted while extension springs provide tension for smooth operation. Cables are responsible for raising the door, so they're subject to wear and tear over time as well.

If you are installing a new garage door, consider hiring Queen City Garage Doors. We not only tell you which door would best fit your need but also give advice on how to maintain the garage door and all of its components, including the cables. The cables that come as part of your new garage door installation offer the highest level of durability and performance.

Because a garage door drum works with springs for the smooth operation of your door, it's an integral part of any garage door mechanism. These springs maintain the garage door balanced as it opens and closes.

The three types of garage door drums are:

• Standard lift – The standard lift is the most common type of opener for residential garages.
• Vertical lift – these are the most commonly used in industrial or warehouse settings.
• High-lift – The high-lift proportion of garage doors allows an increased steep incline to improve the vertical clearance.

Each cable drum has a different weight limit and is designed to handle various door heights, weights, and cable thicknesses. Over time, without proper maintenance, your garage door can become noisy or shaky. Dirt and rust build-up is likely to be the cause of this problem.

To preserve the efficiency and functionality of your garage door, it is essential to lubricate the moving parts.

Queen City Garage Doors has a variety of garage door lubricants in both spray bottle and liquid-based versions. Lubrication is essential to keep your garage door running smoothly.

Some of the most challenging parts to lube on your garage door are these:

• Springs - If you don't want to get into the hassle of working on your garage door springs, consider using a specialized spray-based lubricant.
• Rollers - Oiling both the metal rollers and, if you have nylon ones, oiling the bearings.
• Hinges - You can use liquid-based or spray-based lubricants on your steel garage door's hinges to make it move quickly.
• Locks - Garage door locks may need oils to help keep them from sticking.
