Know The Signs

When You Need Off-Track Repair

If your door hangs crooked, one or more rollers have likely come out of the track.

Grinding or Scraping

Metal-on-metal sounds indicate rollers are riding outside the track or tracks are bent.

Door Won't Move

A door stuck in place may have rollers jammed against bent tracks or completely off track.

Visible Gap in Track

You can see a roller outside the track or a significant gap in the track system.

Door Wobbles

Excessive side-to-side movement indicates rollers aren't seated properly in tracks.

Off-Track Repair FAQs

Why did my door come off track?
Common causes include: broken cable causing uneven tension, damaged/worn rollers, bent tracks from impact, blocked door path, or trying to force a stuck door. We’ll identify and fix the root cause.
No! An off-track door under spring tension is extremely dangerous. The door can fall suddenly and cause serious injury. Always call a professional.
Not always. Minor bends can often be repaired. We’ll only recommend track replacement if they’re severely damaged or repair would be temporary.
Regular maintenance, keeping tracks clean, ensuring cables and springs are in good condition, and avoiding forcing a stuck door all help prevent off-track issues.
Yes! Trying to operate an off-track door with the opener can damage the opener motor, strip gears, or bend the door itself. Don’t use the opener until the door is repaired.
Most off-track repairs can be completed in 1-2 hours, depending on the severity and whether additional parts like tracks or rollers need replacement.
