Types of Garage Door Rollers
There are three types of garage door rollers available, which differ in the material used and quality.
• Garage Door Plastic Rollers
Plastic garage door rollers are the most affordable choice. As a result, they do not last as long and can only support a specific amount of weight. Because these typically weigh less, residential garages are ideal for them.
• Garage Door Steel Rollers
Steel garage door rollers are a step up from plastic because they're more reliable and durable. They can take more pressure, but they also make noise.
• Garage Door Nylon Rollers
Nylon garage door rollers have the benefits of steel and plastic rollers, with the added bonus of being lightweight and quieter. Nylon rollers reduce garage door noise by at least 75% compared to steel rollers.

common questions people ask about rollers
why trust DoorFlex to replace your garage door rollers?

How many garage door rollers should you Get replaced?
Usually, the rollers are installed in pairs. So if one roller is damaged, it’s likely that the other isn’t too far behind. We would recommend replacing all of them at once.
How Often Should Garage Door Rollers Be Replaced?
The lifespan of your rollers largely depend on the materials used. The higher the quality of the material, the longer it will last before needing replacing. For example, plastic rollers only last one or two years whereas steel rollers are more durable and can often be rated for 10,000-12,000 cycles – that’s about eight years if you open and close your garage door four times daily.
Choosing the Right Garage Door Rollers Size
The best way to measure the width of your rollers is by taking one out and measuring it. If you cannot remove the roller, another option would be to open the door halfway so they are at eye level to make it easier for measurement. You will need a ruler or tape measure to get an accurate reading on what size replacement rollers you’ll need to buy.
The average roller size is one inch, two inches, or three inches; however, they normally come ¼” shorter: ¾”, 1 ¾”, and 2 ¾”. The stem’s typical length can be measured by comparing it to the new stem. If they don’t correspond, older doors may necessitate custom-sized rollers. In this event please reach out to DoorFlex Garage Door Repair.
