How Garage Door Rollers Work for Various Door Types
Garage door rollers ensure a seamless journey for the door along its tracks. Their role becomes even more pronounced when enabling the smooth operation of commercial and residential doors:
- Architectural Series – Aluminum: The sleek and modern sealed rollers that come with this commercial model promise quiet movement.
- Roll-up sheet: These doors offer robust protection against weather and theft. They need resilient rollers for their sheer weight and frequent usage.
- Energy Series and Energy Series with Intellicore®: These doors boast thermal efficiency. They rely on rollers to operate correctly, helping them maintain their seal and contribute to energy savings.
- Service doors and counter doors/shutters: Commercial garage doors are always busy. Therefore, commercial garage door rollers guarantee rapid and uninterrupted movement.
- Security grilles: These doors are crucial for security and lean heavily on their rollers. Rollers must travel smoothly to ensure the door locks in place effectively and opens without hitches.
- Industrial series: Durability is a priority for industrial models. This is why the rollers’ strength is paramount for upholding the door’s robust use.
The Different Types of Garage Door Rollers
Your garage door rollers are crucial in ensuring your commercial or residential door functions as intended. Understanding your replacement roller options can help you make informed decisions for your garage’s needs. Available materials include:
- Plastic rollers: These are lightweight and easy on your wallet. However, they might wear out faster than the other types. They’re perfect for those who use their garages occasionally.
- Steel rollers: Steel rollers are known for their strength. These rollers can handle a lot but might make a bit more noise. They are great for those who prioritize durability and have heavier garage doors.
- Nylon rollers: Think of them as the best of both worlds. They combine the strength of steel with the quietness of plastic. They also require less maintenance, making them ideal for the busy homeowner or business owner.
