Common Causes of Off-Track Garage Doors
An off-track garage door can be caused by several issues, and knowing the common causes can help you avoid future problems. Broken or frayed cables are one of the most frequent culprits, as they throw the door out of balance and cause it to shift unevenly. Bent or misaligned tracks can occur from regular wear and tear, corrosion, or accidental impact, such as bumping the door with a vehicle. Worn-out rollers may pop out of the track entirely, leading to a jammed or crooked door. Even small obstructions like rocks or debris can cause the rollers to derail. At Tri County Garage Door Company, we quickly diagnose the cause of the problem and provide the right repair solution to get your door back on track.

Preventing Future Off-Track Issues For Your Garage Door
The best way to avoid future off-track garage door problems is with regular maintenance and care. Make sure your tracks stay clean and free of debris that could block roller movement. Regularly inspect the tracks for signs of bending, rust, or loose fasteners and address problems early. Lubricate rollers, hinges, and other moving parts at least twice a year to keep everything running smoothly. Avoid accidentally hitting the door with vehicles, bikes, or equipment, as even minor impacts can bend the tracks. Scheduling professional tune-ups once or twice a year can also catch small issues before they become major repairs. Tri County Garage Door Company offers preventative maintenance to keep your system operating like new.
