Track Alignment

When your garage door tracks become bent, misaligned, or obstructed, the entire system can grind to a halt. A door that doesn't travel smoothly along its tracks can become noisy, unbalanced, or completely stuck—posing serious safety risks and quickly causing damage to other components. Apache Garage Doors provides expert garage door track alignment for homeowners throughout Collin County and Denton County, ensuring your door operates safely, smoothly, and reliably.

Why Track Alignment Matters

Your garage door relies on a perfectly aligned path to move up and down. Even slight misalignment can create uneven movement, scraping, or derailment. Over time, this strain can damage the rollers, cables, hinges, and opener, turning a small issue into an expensive repair.

Common causes of misaligned tracks include:

• Natural wear and daily use
• Bumps from vehicles or equipment
• Loose track bolts or hardware
• Unbalanced door from spring issues
• Warped or bent track sections
• Foundation settling or structural shifting
• Clogged or obstructed roller paths

Proper alignment ensures your door moves evenly, quietly, and safely—extending the lifespan of the entire system.

Signs Your Garage Door Tracks Need Alignment

Track problems often start subtly, and catching them early can prevent costly repairs. Watch for:

• Grinding, scraping, or rubbing noises
• Door jerking or moving unevenly
• Visible gaps between rollers and track
• Bent, twisted, or warped track sections
• Rollers popping out or slipping off the track
• Door struggling to open or close
• Door sticking halfway
• Misaligned door panels or uneven spacing

If the door is visibly off-track or hanging crooked, stop operating it immediately—continued use can cause serious damage.

Professional Track Alignment Done Safely & Correctly

Track realignment involves more than simply pushing the track back into place. Precise adjustments are required to restore balance, roller placement, and structural stability.

Why Track Misalignment Should Be Repaired Quickly

• Spring imbalance
• Opener burnout or motor damage
• Door collapse, property damage, or safety hazards
