Noise Clues
- Squeaking may point to moving hardware or rollers
- Grinding can indicate worn components or binding
- Popping can be associated with tension or movement issues
- Rattling can come from loose hardware
Do Not Diagnose by Sound Alone
Different problems can create similar noises, so sound is best treated as a clue rather than a final diagnosis.
Inspection
A technician can inspect rollers, hinges, tracks, springs, cables, and opener components for the source.
