Why Does It Happen?

A garage door gone off track isn’t just a minor annoyance; it can pose serious risks to you, your family, and your property. Trying to operate a misaligned garage door can lead to further damage, personal injury, or property harm. The usual suspects behind a garage door going off track include:

Accidental Impact

One of the most common causes is an accidental encounter with a vehicle or another object. Even a minor bump can send your door out of alignment.

Worn or Damaged Door Rails or Rollers

Over time, the rollers guiding the door rails along its tracks can wear down, chip, or sustain damage. When rollers no longer glide smoothly in the tracks, it can send your door off track.

Loose Hardware

Nuts, bolts, brackets, and other hardware holding the garage door and its tracks in place can gradually loosen due to vibrations and constant use. When these components aren’t securely fastened, your door’s alignment is at risk.

Cable Issues

Garage doors often rely on high-tension cables for operation. If these cables become frayed, worn, or snap, they can disrupt the door’s balance and alignment, leading it astray.

Track Obstructions

Sometimes, debris or objects lodged in the tracks can obstruct the smooth movement of your garage door. This interference can force your door off track during operation.

So, if you’re grappling with the frustrating and potentially dangerous issue of your commercial or residential garage door coming off its tracks, don’t delay—take action now.
