Misaligned garage door tracks can cause serious problems. Here's what to watch for.
A misaligned garage door can be more than just annoying — it can be dangerous. When your door's tracks are out of alignment, the door can stick, make grinding noises, or even come completely off the tracks.
Watch for these warning signs: the door doesn't close evenly, you hear scraping or grinding noises, the door moves slowly or sticks at certain points, or you can see visible gaps between the door and the frame.
Tracks can become misaligned from daily wear and tear, impact damage (such as bumping the track with a vehicle), loose mounting hardware, or temperature changes causing metal expansion and contraction.
Minor adjustments to loose bolts are something a handy homeowner can do. However, if the tracks are bent or significantly out of alignment, it's best to call a professional. Improperly adjusted tracks can cause the door to fall, creating a serious safety hazard.
