What Causes a Door to Go Off Track?
- Broken cables — uneven tension lets the door shift off track.
- Bent or damaged tracks — from impact, wear, or loose hardware.
- Worn or broken rollers — that slip out of the tracks.
- Broken springs — extra stress can make the door shift or collapse unevenly.
- Obstructions — debris or objects in the tracks.
- Vehicle impact — backing into the door bends tracks and knocks it off track.
- Loose hardware — brackets, hinges, or bolts affecting alignment.
Signs Your Door Is Off Track
- Crooked or uneven movement
- Loud grinding or scraping noises
- The door gets stuck halfway
- Rollers out of the tracks
- The door looks tilted or misaligned
- The door won't fully open or close
- Visible gaps between rollers and tracks

If you see these signs, stop using the door immediately to prevent further damage or injury.
