Squeaky door rollers

If their are center opening doors, it could be the small cable tensioning rollers on each end of the track that are squeaking. I use One Lube for those and it works well. Just a thought.

squeaky rollers

Hey Larry! Don't listen to these guys! If you have squeky rollers, don't put ant type of oil or lube on them. There's only one manufacturer of rollers that require oil on them and that's GAL. Dover, Otis, Meco etc, all have a rubber "tire" on their rollers to eliminate squeking and extend roller life. Clean off those rollers and hangers and REPLACE them if needed.
