If the garage door's tracks break, you may notice several signs:
Warped tracks
Gaps between the tracks and rollers
Uneven door
Unusual sounds
Warped tracks can cause your garage door to jump off its tracks. The tracks can be bent out of shape from an impact or environmental problems such as storms or strong winds. In colder climates, the tracks may also warp from winter weather. The tracks can also become bent out of shape if not installed properly. If the tracks are out of position, contact a professional as soon as possible for a garage door inspection, as warped tracks can compromise the door's function and lead to more damage if they are not fixed.
Sometimes, a gap may form between the tracks and the rollers. The rollers should move smoothly along the garage door's track, which allows you to quickly open and close the garage door. The tracks can become bent, which causes the rollers to rise off the track and forms a space between the rail and rollers. If the rollers stop moving smoothly across the rail, the garage door has most likely come off the track. If that happens, contact us for garage door repair in Long Beach right away to avoid more problems and a bigger repair bill.
If the door closes but one side hangs down further than the other side, the underlying problem may be that the door came off its tracks. If the door is uneven, you should get in touch with us for garage door repair in Long Beach as soon as possible. Any damage that already exists can quickly get worse if the problem is not addressed sooner rather than later.
Odd noises coming from the garage door are a good indication of a problem. If the garage door makes unusual sounds when you try to open or close it, the door may be off its tracks. A technician can inspect the door and its components to identify the source of the problem and make repairs.
