Garage Door Track Repair Service

Opening and closing the garage door probably happens several times a day. You take it for granted that it will function when it’s needed. However, every once in awhile, you may run into a problem with your automatic garage door. When this happens, call Precision Door Service of Los Angeles for assistance.

Our thorough repair process is designed to identify the causes of the problem and make speedy professional repairs.

 Signs a Garage Door is Off-Track 

 It might be challenging to know why your garage door appears crooked and uneven. However, it is essential to identify the problem to find a solution. Additionally, you should never try to force the garage door to open or close fully if it gets stuck halfway. If the door is closed and won’t open, or it is stuck open and you cannot get it closed, leave the door alone until you can have a professional come out to check out the door and find the problem. Trying to force a garage door to move when a part is broken is dangerous, as it can cause the door to crash down suddenly. The tracks that the garage door moves on can also bend, which causes the garage door rollers to pop out. The entire garage door system can be damaged as a result.

What Causes a Garage Door to go off the Tracks? 

Several things can cause a garage door to come off its tracks. Here are three of the most common:

The Cause

• Broken springs. Over the years, wear and tear on your garage door may cause one or both of the torsion springs to break. As a result, if only one spring breaks, you may see a lopsided garage door that has fallen off its tracks.
• Closing on an object. Although electronic eyes are typically standard equipment on automatic garage doors, every once in awhile, a door may close onto an object under the door and cause damage if eyes are broken or not aligned. This type of damage can knock a door off its tracks.

Accidental force. Whether a car accidentally bumps into a garage door or you run into the door with a lawn tractor or other piece of equipment, this type of force can also damage the door and force it off track.
