About This Service
A garage door that's jumped off its tracks is one of the most common — and most dangerous — garage door failures. It usually happens after a vehicle bumps the door, a cable snaps, a roller breaks, or the tracks become bent or misaligned. Once off-track, forcing the door will bend the panels and damage the opener. Our technicians realign the door, inspect every roller and hinge, straighten or replace bent track sections, and make sure the door runs smoothly before leaving.
Includes realignment, roller inspection, and track adjustment. Bent track replacement quoted separately.

How It Works
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a garage door to come off its tracks?
The most common causes are: a vehicle bumping the door, a broken cable causing one side to drop, a broken roller, bent or damaged track sections, or worn hinges that allowed the door to shift sideways.
Can I put the door back on the tracks myself?
We strongly advise against it. The door panels can be damaged and the springs are still under tension. Improper realignment can cause the door to fall on your vehicle or injure someone. This is a job for a trained technician.
Will the panels be damaged from going off track?
Sometimes — it depends on how far the door came off and whether it was forced. We'll assess the panels and let you know if replacement is needed.
How do I prevent my door from going off track again?
Annual maintenance is the best prevention — we lubricate rollers, check track alignment, tighten hardware, and catch worn parts before they fail. Ask about our tune-up service.
