Garage Door Track Repair

Garage door tracks guide the rollers of the door, which allows it to smoothly move up and down, letting you go about your daily life.
When you need to repair or replace your Garage Door track, it’s usually because of these 6 reasons
- Broken cables will cause the door to bend sideways when it’s closing, in turn bending the track, causing it to fall down.
- Failure to lubricate the track rollers can lead to stiffness and bend in the lower garage door sections. In hot Arizona climates, dust can also cause problems for your garage door track.
- Salt or rust can corrode the track which would naturally deteriorate over time.
- Accidents such as heavy equipment striking the garage door track.
- Metal fatigue from too much weight being put on the track repeatedly.
- Shifting of the structural foundation can cause other parts to act up, which can easily impact the garage door track.
Garage Door Track Sizes & Attributes
Tracks for garage doors can be purchased in 3 sizes; 1-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inches. For any residential or commercial applications, 2-inch tracks are what you need. Some of the trusted manufacturers that we recommend are Raynor, Overhead Door, and Wayne Dalton.
Garage Door Track Types
Three types of garage door tracks are produced – standard lift, vertical lift, and high lift.
Standard lift tracks are commonly found in residential areas. They run on a vertical track that curves to the top of the ceiling.
Vertical lift tracks are used for commercial and industrial environments.
High lift tracks are a hybrid of standard and vertical tracks. They and are typically used in residential areas with high ceilings.
It’s important to make sure that your garage door track is in tip-top shape, allowing it to deteriorate can cause serious issues to other parts which will only lead to increased repair costs.
