Garage door track repair is needed when the rails that guide the rollers are bent, loose or out of line. In tight Ardmore and Bala Cynwyd garages, a car mirror or a bike handle is often all it takes to kink the lower rail.
Small bends can be trued; creased rails need replacement. Trilobite also checks the overhead track and the brackets that hold it, since a door that sags at the top can pull the side rails out of line.
Signs You Need Garage Door Track Repair
- The door binds at one spot
- A rail is dented or twisted
- A gap opens between roller and rail
- Brackets loosen from the jamb
Small Garages, Big Cars
Many older Lower Merion garages were built before today's larger cars. There is little room between the vehicle and the track. A quick look at the lower rail after any bump can prevent a door coming off.
