Telltale Signs Your Garage Door Track Needs Realignment

Garage door tracks guide the rollers and keep the door moving in a straight, controlled path. When the tracks become bent or slightly misaligned, the door’s movement is affected. Most track problems are gradual and can be found before things get worse. Keep an eye out for:

Track damage or bends

Gaps, dents or bends are a possible sign that the track is out of alignment.

Uneven door movement

The door shifting to one side usually means that it's poor track alignment or imbalance.

Grinding or scraping noises

Noise from friction often means that the rollers are not moving smoothly along the track.

Door reversing

Sudden stops or reversals can happen when the track obstructs smooth travel.

Loose track hardware

Brackets or fasteners that shift during the door's operation compromise track stability.
