Garage Door Track Replacement
Garage door tracks are the unsung heroes of your garage door system. They provide the essential pathway for the rollers that allow your door to move smoothly up and down. When these tracks become damaged or worn, your garage door can struggle to operate correctly. If you suspect your tracks are causing issues, it may be time for a replacement!
At Southeastern Garage Doors, we bring over 100 years of combined experience serving North Charleston, South Carolina. Trust our skilled team to safely and efficiently replace your broken garage door track, restoring its functionality.
Understanding Garage Door Tracks
There are three main types of tracks. If any part of this system becomes misaligned or damaged, the door may not function properly, leading to safety concerns and operational difficulties. The three types include:
- Vertical tracks: These run along the sides of the door, guiding it upward.
- Horizontal tracks: Located at the top of the garage, these tracks allow the door to move back into the ceiling area when fully opened.
- Curved tracks: Connecting the vertical and horizontal sections, these tracks help the door transition smoothly between positions.
Signs You May Need Garage Door Track Replacement
Recognizing early signs of track damage can prevent further complications and costly repairs. Here are some common indicators:
- Misalignment: If your garage door falls off its track or appears uneven, it could indicate a problem with the alignment of the tracks, leading to improper operation and potential damage to other components.
- Noisy operation: Unusual grinding, scraping or squeaking noises during operation may indicate the tracks are worn or bent.
- Sticking or stalling: A garage door that struggles to open and close smoothly could be experiencing bent or obstructed tracks.
- Visible damage: Dents, bends, rust or cracks in the tracks can hinder the door’s movement and should be addressed promptly.
- Inconsistent movement: If your door wobbles or skips while operating, the tracks may be misaligned or damaged.
Why Hire a Professional to Fix a Garage Door Track?
