Quieting a Noisy Door the Right Way in Miami Beach 33139 — Lubrication, Not Track Grease

A homeowner in Miami Beach 33139 complained about grinding and squeaks. We eliminated noise safely—without greasing the tracks—and upgraded to nylon rollers.

South Florida Scene-Setter

Salt air invites corrosion and dirt. The trick is right lubricant, right points, and keeping tracks dry and clean.

The Problem — Voice of the Pro (Gabriela Torres, Customer Success Manager)

“I heard metal-on-metal at the hinges and rough bearings. The tracks were shiny with household grease—that’s a common mistake.”

Safety Box:

• Do not lubricate tracks.

• Avoid over-spraying near sensors.

• Keep hands clear of moving parts.

Diagnosis — Method & Checklist

• Inspect rollers for flat spots; hinges for looseness; top brackets; spring coils.

• Clean tracks with mild solvent; check alignment and fasteners.
