garage door off-track

farmington hills mi garage door off-track repair

A garage door can come off-track for several reasons, such as a misaligned roller, a bent track, or a broken cable. When a garage door is off track, it will not be able to open or close properly and can cause further damage to the door and opener if not fixed promptly.


Here are some steps to fix a garage door that has come off track:

  1. Disconnect the opener: Before you begin, disconnect the opener by pulling the release handle or unplugging the unit.
  2. Check for any obstacles: Check the tracks for any obstacles, such as leaves, dirt, or debris, that may be causing the door to come off track. Clear any obstructions you find.
  3. Realign the rollers: Carefully realign them back into the tracks by gently pushing them back into place.
  4. Inspect the tracks for bent or misaligned sections and straighten them using a rubber mallet or pliers.
  5. Re-engage the opener: Reconnect the opener and test the door to make sure it is operating correctly.


It's important to note that if you are not comfortable or confident in performing these steps, it is best to call a professional garage door repair technician. Attempting to fix a garage door off-track without proper knowledge and tools can cause further damage or injury.

Two cables balance the garage door. When one of them rusts and breaks, it will cause the door to go off-track.

A broken spring is one of the most common issues getting a garage door off-track. Springs are the most critical component.
