Garage Door Rollers

• Plastic rollers — These rollers do not have ball bearings. These are the most affordable type of rollers but they easily get damaged. With regular use, the plastic wheels tend to break apart over time. Also, the steel track system in which it moves will result to the eventual wear and tear of the wheels and may even cause it to pop out of the track and bring other problems related to the functionality of your door.
• Steel rollers — These types of rollers come in two versions: with ball bearings and without. Both comprise of steel wheels attached to steel shafts. Both types are strong and perform better as compared to plastic rollers. However, those without ball bearings will usually get damaged faster, will break from the roller stem and if not fixed immediately, will lead to a crooked wheel. Steel rollers require regular lubrication as it can be a bit noisy.
• Nylon rollers — These are usually the best type of rollers. They can be very stable, requires less lubrication and can absorb vibrations, hence very quite. This type is also more durable as com-pared to plastic and steel rollers.
