Off-track repair
Door hanging crooked or jammed sideways?
- Door secured before work
- Cause fixed, not just reset
- Price before repair
A door comes off its tracks for a reason. A car bumps it, a cable snaps and one side drops, a track bracket works loose, or worn rollers finally pop out. Push it back without fixing that and it'll happen again.
The Green EZ tech first secures the door so it can't fall, then works out what pulled it off. Bent track gets straightened or replaced, rollers and hinges get swapped where needed, and the door is set back on the tracks, balanced and run through a full cycle.
Door off track?
Unplug the opener and stay clear of the door. Call us and we'll take it from there.
Off-track repair services
Getting the door back on is half the job. Finding out why it came off is the other half.
Door reset
The door secured, the rollers worked back into the tracks and the door lowered under control.
Track repair
Bent sections straightened, loose mounting brackets re-anchored, or the track replaced when it's kinked.
Cable and drum repair
A slipped or broken cable replaced and wound evenly so both sides lift together.
Roller and hinge swap
Damaged rollers and cracked hinges replaced so the door stays in line.
Common causes of an off-track door
Impact
A car or mower hits the door and pushes the rollers out of the track.
Cable failure
One cable lets go, that side drops, and the door twists in the opening.
Loose or bent track
Mounting bolts loosen over time, or a bent section catches a roller.
Signs your door is off track
You'll usually see one of these:
- One side lower than the otherThe door is tilted in the opening.
- Rollers sitting outside the trackLook along each side for a wheel out of its channel.
- Door stuck partwayIt jammed going up or down and won't move either way.
- Sections twisted or bowedThe door bent as one side kept moving and the other stopped.
- A gap under one cornerEven when closed, one side doesn't meet the floor.
Safety first. An off-track door is unstable and can fall. Unplug the opener so nobody hits the button, keep people and pets away from it, and don't try to lever the rollers back in yourself.
