Common Garage Door Belt and Chain Issues
There are a few reasons why garage door opener belts break:
Wear and Tear
The most common reason for a garage door belt to break is typical wear and tear. Over time, the belt will begin to stretch and weaken, making it more susceptible to breaking. You’ll know it’s time to replace the belt when you start to hear loud grinding noises coming from the opener, or if the door starts to move slowly or unevenly.
Lubrication
Lack of lubrication is another common cause of chain or belt breakage. If the bearings or pulleys are not properly lubricated, they can cause the belt to wear down prematurely. To maintain proper lubrication, you should periodically check the bearings and pulleys and apply lubricant as needed.
Improper tensioning
Improper tensioning is also a common issue that can lead to belt breakage. Often, improper tensioning is the result of a misaligned track or damaged pulley. A qualified technician will be able to properly adjust or replace the parts as needed.
