Garage door rollers play a crucial role in the overall performance, noise level, maintenance requirements, and durability of your garage door. Here are several common styles of garage door rollers:

1. Sealed Bearing Nylon Rollers: Our most popular and affordable garage door upgrade consists of sealed bearing nylon rollers. These rollers, made from durable nylon material, provide excellent resistance to wear and tear and significantly reduce friction. They have a rating of 100,000 cycles, requiring minimal maintenance, and are the preferred choice for residential applications. If your garage door is loud when opening and closing, replacing your rollers you can effectively quiet your garage door.
2. Bearingless Rollers: Bearingless rollers feature a wheel directly mounted onto a shaft. These rollers can be noisy and demand more maintenance compared to ball bearing style rollers. It’s important to note that bearingless rollers may not be suitable for all types of garage doors, particularly heavy or commercial ones.
3. Non-sealed Ball Bearing Rollers: Non-sealed rollers equipped with ball bearings, have small smooth ball bearings that facilitate smooth operation with minimal resistance and noise. These rollers typically have a rating of 10,000 cycles. However, since they lack sealing, more maintenance and lubrication should be expected.
