Question
Why is my garage door so loud when it opens in Dubai?
Noise normally comes from friction or looseness, not from the motor alone. Common causes are dry or sand-clogged rollers, loose hinges, tracks pulled slightly out of line, worn springs and a chain drive that needs adjustment. In Dubai, dust settles in tracks and hardens old grease, which makes rollers scrape. Check for visible bolts that have loosened and listen for whether the noise follows the door or the motor. Do not oil everything randomly, as the wrong lubricant attracts more sand. A technician can clean, tighten and rebalance the door, and advise if a quieter belt-drive opener suits your villa. Our opener troubleshooting guide covers more.
