An off-track garage door doesn’t just look unsightly; it is also unsteady and potentially dangerous. Unskilled hands should never handle an off-track door because of the risk of injury and further damage to the system. That’s where we come in — the pros at Prestige Garage Door Services are skilled at assessing off-track garage doors and getting them back on track quickly and safely.

There are several reasons why and how garage doors can go off-track.  Cables provide a cushion for the door’s weight and support the door while it is moving up and down. Over time, wear and tear can damage the cables, putting your garage door at risk of going off-track.  

Garage doors may also go off-track due to an obstruction or blockage in the track.  Even a hard collision can put the tracks in tension causing it to malfunction due to stress.  For example, if you accidentally run into the door with your car, the impact may cause the door to go off of its tracks. Maybe you were running late in the morning and hit reverse before ensuring the door was opened (it happens more often than you’d think!). Even if the door looks fine at first, the wheels, tracks, or supports may be damaged.
