Doors Off Track

Garage door tracks are the structural pathways that guide the smooth vertical movement of your garage door. These vital components ensure the door travels along a precise route, preventing wobbling, binding, and potential damage. Every type of overhead garage door, whether sectional, roll-up, or tilt-up, relies on tracks for proper operation.
The tracks, typically made of durable steel, are designed to withstand the door's considerable weight and stress. They use rollers and cables to provide a balanced, efficient lifting and lowering mechanism. Proper alignment and maintenance of these tracks are crucial for the longevity and safety of your garage door system, preventing costly repairs and ensuring reliable performance.
