Off-Track Repair · Denver, CO

Garage door off its track? We realign it, same day.

A door that's jumped its track or hangs crooked doesn't always need to be replaced. We realign rollers and tracks so it glides smoothly again — most repairs finish in one visit.

Signs Your Door Is Off-Track

How to tell your door has jumped the track

Door hangs crooked

One side sits higher or lower than the other, or the door looks lopsided when partially open.

Visible gap between roller and track

A roller sitting outside its track, or a visible bend in the track itself, means the door has derailed.

Grinding or scraping noise

A door forcing itself along a bent or misaligned track often makes a grinding or scraping sound.

Door stops partway

An off-track door often binds and stops moving partway through opening or closing.

How We Fix It

What happens during an off-track repair

First, stop using the door and unplug the opener — running an off-track door can bend panels and turn a repair into a replacement. When we arrive, we secure the door, relieve tension where needed, and guide the rollers back into the tracks.

Then we look for why it came off in the first place. Common causes are a car or bumper hitting the door, a worn or broken roller, loose track brackets, a snapped lift cable, or an opener that kept pushing when something was in the way. Fixing the cause is what keeps it from happening again.

We straighten or replace bent track sections, replace damaged rollers and hinges, re-tighten brackets, and re-align the tracks so they're plumb and parallel. Finally we balance the door, adjust the opener's force and travel settings, and test the safety sensors.

Repair or replace?

Most off-track doors can be repaired. If panels are cracked or badly bent, we'll show you the damage and give you a price for panel replacement and for a new door, so you can choose with all the facts.
