Straighten, realign or replace bent and loose tracks so the door glides smoothly and stays on its path.
Tracks guide the door up and over, and they have to be straight, tight and parallel. A bump from a car, a loose bracket or years of wear can leave a track bent or out of line. The door may bind, rattle, scrape or jump off. Homeowners in Nashville ask about track repair after a bump or when a door begins to catch at the same spot every time.
We check the vertical and horizontal sections, the curves, the brackets and the mounting bolts. We measure the gap between track and roller, level and plumb the tracks and straighten minor bends. Badly bent or rusted sections are replaced. We also check that both tracks are parallel and the correct distance apart so the door rolls without drag, and we lubricate the rollers and test the travel. Because tracks affect the whole door, we often find related issues while we are there, such as worn rollers or a tired spring. We point them out and let you decide what to handle now and what to schedule later, so the repair solves the problem for good.
Vertical tracks must be plumb and horizontal tracks slightly sloped. We check with a level and adjust the brackets.
The two tracks must be the same distance apart all the way up, or the door binds.
Minor bends can be straightened. Heavy damage or rust means new sections.
Loose mounting hardware lets tracks drift. We tighten and replace as needed.
