Garage Pulley – 3″ Heavy Duty Extension Spring Pulley

Description

This is a 3″ Garage Pulley with a 3/8″ Hole. Pulleys are very important in making your extension spring garage door open and close. A proper working garage pulley should roll smoothly with no jerking or shifting in the track. Each quality made garage pulley has a weight capacity of 200lb lbs and a rating of 25,000 cycles of an 8′ door. These garage door pulleys are constructed of a heavier gauge steel than standard pulleys. Therefore the weight capacity and cycle life are higher. *It’s recommended to change your pulleys whenever you replace your extension springs. This will ensure a smooth and well working garage door.

Extension spring doors have four pulleys: two pulleys with pulley forks attached to the springs on either side of the horizontal track, and two stationary pulleys mounted on the horizontal track in front of the radius track.

Why should you replace a Garage Pulley?

When a garage door fails to open and close properly, the cause is often a worn garage pulley. Maybe the garage door opens halfway and either stops or closes. If you hear a scraping noise, that could be a worn ball bearing is causing the pulley to grind the track angle. If the door binds or sticks, that could be the result of a split pulley caused by a failed rivet.

If your garage door jerks or shifts from side to side, you probably need new pulleys. To determine if the pulleys are worn, it’s important to take the spring tension off of the pulleys and cables first. To relieve tension, open the garage door, which will remove nearly all of the tension from the extension spring. Use vise grips on the track to hold the door up and prevent it from falling back down.

Then wiggle the garage pulley to see if it has a lot of movement from side to side. You can also check for loose ball bearings by shaking them. Make sure they turn smoothly, and check for bearing wear by twisting them while they’re bolted to the pulley fork or track.
