FAQs
Can a bent garage door track be repaired?
Often, yes. It depends on the bend, roller condition, brackets, and whether the door is still safely supported.
Why does my garage door keep coming off track?
Common causes include worn rollers, loose brackets, cable tension problems, impact damage, and a door that is out of balance.
Should I operate an off-track door?
No. Stop using it and call. Running the opener can twist the door or damage panels.
Do you check cables during track repair?
Yes. A track issue and cable issue often show up together, so we inspect the full lift system.
