7 Signs Your Garage Door Tracks Need Attention
1. Visible Damage
Visible damage to your garage door tracks, such as bends, dents, or cracks, is a clear sign that they need attention.
2. Misalignment
Misaligned tracks are a clear sign that your garage door needs attention. When tracks are out of alignment, the door may shake, wobble, or move unevenly, disrupting its smooth operation. This can happen due to regular wear, impacts, or loose hardware.
3. Excessive Noise
If your garage door is making loud or strange noises, it could mean the tracks need to be checked. Sounds like grinding, squeaking, or rubbing often happen when the tracks are bent, damaged, or not lined up properly. This can make it harder for the rollers to move smoothly. Sometimes, dirt, rust, or other buildup in the tracks can cause the noise too. Try cleaning the tracks to remove any dirt and see if the noise goes away. If the noise is still there, the tracks might be damaged or misaligned and should be fixed to make your garage door work quietly and smoothly again.
4. Door Sticking or Stopping
If your garage door gets stuck or stops moving halfway, it might mean the tracks need to be checked. This can happen if the tracks are bent, not lined up correctly, or blocked by dirt or debris. These problems make it harder for the rollers to move smoothly. Make sure the tracks are clean and free of dirt or objects that might be in the way. If the problem continues, the tracks might be damaged or misaligned and should be fixed to keep your garage door working properly.
5. Gaps Between Tracks and Rollers
If you notice gaps between the tracks and rollers, it could mean the tracks are bent or misaligned. These gaps prevent the rollers from fitting snugly inside the tracks, which can make your garage door move unevenly, shake, or even come off its tracks.
To check for gaps yourself, follow these steps:
- Open the Door Halfway: This lets you see the rollers and tracks more clearly.
- Inspect the Tracks: Look along the tracks for any bends or damage that could create space between the rollers and tracks.
- Check the Rollers: Make sure the rollers are sitting securely inside the tracks without extra space.
If you notice gaps or damage, it’s crucial to get the tracks adjusted or repaired to ensure your garage door operates smoothly and safely.
6. Door Coming Off Tracks
If your garage door has come off its tracks, it’s a serious issue that needs immediate attention. This can happen if the tracks are bent, misaligned, or damaged, or if the rollers have worn out and can no longer stay in place. A door that has come off its tracks might look crooked, move unevenly, or stop working altogether.
If you notice your door is off its tracks, stop using it immediately and contact us for a professional inspection.
7. Rust or Corrosion
Rust or corrosion on your garage door tracks is a clear sign they need attention. Over time, exposure to moisture and humidity can cause the metal tracks to rust, weakening their structure and making it harder for the rollers to move smoothly.
