Symptoms of Garage Door Track Problems
- Door rubs against the track or makes a scraping sound
- Door shakes or “wobbles” while moving
- Uneven gaps on the left vs right side of the door
- Rollers popping or jumping inside the track
- Door gets stuck halfway or won’t close smoothly
- Visible bends, dents, or loose brackets
Track issues don’t usually fix themselves. The longer you run the door crooked, the more stress you put on rollers, hinges, cables, and the opener.
Common Causes of Bent or Misaligned Tracks
Impact or pressure
Bumping a track with a car, snowblower, trash barrel, or storage item can bend it just enough to cause binding.
Loose hardware over time
Vibration and daily use can loosen brackets and bolts, slowly pulling tracks out of alignment.
Worn rollers / roller stem issues
Bad rollers can “ride wrong” and create track wear, noise, and jerky movement.
Cable or spring imbalance
If the door isn’t balanced, it can pull to one side and chew up tracks and rollers.
Our Garage Door Track Repair Process
We don’t guess. We inspect the full travel path and fix the real cause—because track problems are often connected to rollers, cables, hinges, or a door that’s out of balance.
Step 1: Inspection
- Track condition (bends, dents, gaps)
- Mounting brackets and fasteners
- Roller movement and spacing
- Door balance and safe operation
Step 2: Repair or alignment
- Re-align tracks for smooth travel
- Tighten or replace worn hardware
- Correct roller engagement in the track
- Address minor bends when safe to do so
Step 3: Track replacement (when needed)
If the track is severely bent, cracked, or worn out, we’ll recommend replacement so the door runs safely and doesn’t keep damaging other parts.
Step 4: Safety test
We test the full open/close cycle, check for binding, and confirm the door runs straight and smooth before we leave.

When You Should Stop Using the Garage Door
Some track problems are more than “annoying noise.” Stop operating the door and call if:
- The door looks crooked or is hanging unevenly
- You hear a bang or rollers popping out
- The door is binding hard or getting stuck repeatedly
- The track is visibly pulled away from the wall
- The opener strains, jerks, or reverses unexpectedly
Continuing to run it can lead to an off-track door, cable damage, or a bigger repair bill.
Garage Door Track Repair FAQs
Can you straighten a bent garage door track?
Minor bends can sometimes be corrected safely, but severe damage usually requires replacement. We’ll recommend the safest option so the door runs smoothly without repeated issues.
Why is my garage door rubbing the track?
Common causes include track misalignment, loose brackets, worn rollers, or the door pulling to one side due to imbalance. We inspect the full system to pinpoint the cause.
Is a misaligned track dangerous?
It can be. A badly misaligned track increases the chance of the door going off-track or damaging cables and rollers. If the door is crooked, binding, or popping, stop using it and call for service.
