This roller is normally installed on your cheap, inexpensive, builders grade garage doors. They have a solid steel 3" stem with a hard plastic wheel rotating on it. Although these rollers can be quiet, due to temperature extremes and the weights of the door, the hard plastic will break over time. You might also find that these rollers drag when dirt and grease are collected on the tracks.
