The initial garage door installation process includes many components (such as the tracks) that allow the entire system to function properly. These pieces to the puzzle wear out over time, or break when you least expect them to.

Most homeowners will wait too long to get a garage door repair on the calendar. We see it happen all too often, where homeowners don’t know what to look for, so they accidentally let a small issue become something massive. What should be regular garage door maintenance can turn into installing a new garage door if something goes wrong.
To help prevent that, we’ve listed six clear signs that your tracks are in need of our professional garage door repair services.
Garage doors are pieces of heavy machinery. Their system is made up of a complex system of sensors, springs, tracks, and cables that all have to work together to provide safe operation. It’s important to find a company that can handle all your garage door needs with expertise and exceptional customer satisfaction rates!
The tracks on a garage door aren’t often in the habit of bending without reason. While impact damage is the usual suspect, the rollers, cables, springs and the very structure the track is affixed to can all have an effect. Then there is the matter of Parker weather, which puts an extra strain on things that Front Range homeowners ought to be aware of.
When Parker treats its roads for snow with IceSlicer and liquid magnesium chloride, it is for safety’s sake. But the residue does not always remain outdoors. Tires, wheel wells and floor mats bring in the moisture, salt and grit.
You may find that kind of buildup accumulating at the bottom of the door and along the lower tracks. The dirt hinders the rollers and the salty moisture is unforgiving on exposed metal. Our town does some post-storm sweeping of its own to clear solid deicing material from the streets; after a snowy spell, you should do the same inside. Wipe down the tracks and give the lower brackets and hardware a once-over for any signs of corrosion.
There is no need to pack the tracks with grease. They are meant to be clean so the rollers have room to travel. If the door begin to pull to one side or shake after a hard winter, put in for a visit rather than forcing it through another cycle.
A cold morning can reveal what was already in the making. Metal contracts and old lubricant loses its efficacy, making a loose bracket or a worn roller stand out.
Sometimes a track issue is merely a symptom. An unbalanced door or a cable on its last legs can put uneven stress on the system and work a track out of alignment. A proper repair is more than simply shoving a bent rail back where it belongs. We will run a balance test if called for to see if the springs are doing their job; otherwise, fixing the track alone would be leaving the underlying problem to fester.
If you see a slack cable or a door hanging crooked because a roller has come off, leave it be. Forcing it can bend more of the door or ruin the opener. And a garage left open is a security risk. In an emergency, a phone call is better than repeatedly hitting the opener. The tension on the springs and cables is considerable and the doors are heavy.
We serve Parker and the surrounding Front Range, including Stroh Ranch, to get the door operating safely. Our approach is to identify the root of the matter and make the necessary repairs.
