Why has my garage door come off track?
Have you ever seen a home with the garage door half-way down and uneven doors? Trying to fix this on your own without replacing parts is not only dangerous but can sometimes amplify the situation. This can eventually lead to the entire garage door falling on top of your car. Having a sound technician come out and identify the cause is the best way to go about solving your issue.
My Garage Door Came Off Track
If your garage door is not on the track, immediately stop operation to prevent further damage. NoisyGarage.com of Tampa has very experienced technicians to get the job done correctly.
The following is a list of reasons your garage door came off track:
A broken spring: When trying to operate the garage door with a broken spring, the garage door can operate unevenly throwing the door off track.
Damaged Door: A damaged garage door can throw the door off track as the door is not aligned with the track.
Springs Under Wound/Wrong Springs: Sometimes the previous garage door company installs the wrong springs forcing them to underwound the garage springs. This causes an unevenness in the door operation throwing the cable and door off track.
Bad Rollers: Like springs, bad rollers have a life cycle. Over time the rollers wear out and fall off. Sometimes it is a single bad roller, and you may think just one needs to be replaced. One bad roller is an indication of the other rollers starting to ware.
Other Reasons Garage Doors Come Off Track
Obstructed Track: Having something like a rake handle in line of the track can throw the door off track.
Loose Hardware: The door is held together by nuts and bolts. Overtime as you operate the door these nuts and bolts can loosen causing the door to come off track.
