When the roller starts to roll again once the lube gets worn out or the track gets a bit dirty, the rollers will go "thump, thump" and will need to be replaced.

It is of course good to lubricate the hinges and keep the track clean, but not lubed.
With all the moving parts and of course how often it is used, it is wise to have regular maintenance performed of your garage doors annually.

One should also know how to use the disconnect pull rope to open the door, so if the electricity goes out and you need to leave, you will not be stuck without your car.
