Quiet That Noisy Garage Door and Garage Door Opener

It's 5:00 AM and your leaving for work. You creep through the house quietly to be sure you don't wake the wife and kids. You make it to the garage and push the button to open the garage door...

At this point one of two things could happen:

1) The garage door starts to open and all that hard work you did to not wake the family has gone to waste. The door vibrates the ceiling and wakes the baby in the room above the garage. The squeaks and squeals are heard by the neighbors down the street. Everyone in the house is now awake thanks to your noisy garage door.

2) The garage door starts to open and with the subtle hum of your Marantec belt drive garage door opener and smooth precision bearing nylon rollers, the door opens generating almost no noise. Allowing your family and neighbors to sleep soundly while you sneak out the door.

In my experience option #1 seems to be the most common. I think somewhere along the way we all get so used to our garage doors being noisy that we never considered that there is products available to silence the noise. There are many parts on your garage door that can make noise but the majority comes from the garage door opener and the rollers. By simply replacing your old worn our parts with  high grade product specifically designed to silence your garage door the difference can be night and day. Not only will your door operate much quieter but most quality parts are maintenance free and come with a lifetime warranty. This means your door stays quiet and smooth with minimal effort and expense from you.

I suggest any garage door opener made by Marantec as they produce the quietest models on the market today. Noises from your door may go beyond just the opener and rollers, so it is a good idea to have your door inspected by a trained technician to make sure there is no abnormal wear on the moving parts. Catching parts before they break can save money on costly garage door repairs down the road. In Phoenix, AZ the heat takes its toll on your garage door and moving parts and they need to be checked regularly and replaced when bad.
