Off-track & cable repair questions

What should I do if my door comes off track?

Unplug the opener, don't try to force the door up or down, and keep everyone clear. Partially detached doors can drop suddenly.

Why do garage doors come off track?

Common causes are a broken cable or spring, worn rollers, loose track brackets, an obstruction, or a vehicle hitting the door.

Can a bent track be fixed?

Minor bends can sometimes be straightened, but sections that are kinked or creased are usually replaced so the rollers move smoothly.

Is a broken cable an emergency?

Treat it as one. Without the cable the door is unbalanced and can fall or twist. Many local pros offer same-day cable repair.
