An off-track garage door is exactly what it sounds like — one or both sets of rollers have jumped out of the rail and the door is hanging crooked, stuck open, or wedged sideways. Causes range from vehicle impact (most common) to cable failure, severe imbalance, or track corrosion. Off-track is an emergency: continuing to operate the opener while off-track bends panels, damages tracks, and risks the door falling. We dispatch on these calls immediately, typically arriving in under 90 minutes.
The repair protocol depends on what knocked the door off-track. If a cable snapped, we replace cables and re-seat rollers. If a track is bent, we straighten or replace the bent section. If a roller is broken or the hinge is twisted, we replace those parts. In 9 of 10 cases there's no panel damage and the repair is contained to hardware — the door comes back to fully functional with no aesthetic impact. The 1 in 10 cases with panel damage become panel-replacement projects.
After re-railing, we run a full system check: balance test, cable inspection, hinge and roller verification, photo-eye function, and opener force/travel re-calibration. The whole job typically takes 90 minutes from arrival to test-cycle.
Signs you need garage door off-track repair
Door hanging crooked or partially out of the track
One or both rollers visible outside the rail. Stop using the opener — continued operation makes the damage worse.
Door stuck open or stuck at an angle
Off-track doors often jam in whatever position they were in when the rollers came out. Don't force.
Cable snap or impact event that knocked the door off-track. Photograph and call.
Vehicle backed into the door
Almost always knocks the door off-track. Inspect for panel damage in addition to track issues.
Roller visible outside the rail
Clearest visual indicator — a roller obviously not in the rail channel. Confirmed off-track.
Common causes & what we fix
Vehicle impact
By far the most common cause we see. Even minor backing-into events can knock rollers out of alignment.
Cable failure
Snapped cable lets one side of the door drop, pulling rollers out of the rail.
Severe imbalance
Out-of-balance doors put uneven load on the rollers. Severe imbalance can pop rollers out, especially on opening.
Bent track from prior damage
Earlier impact that bent the track may not have caused immediate off-track but creates a chronic risk.
Broken roller or hinge
If a roller seizes or a hinge cracks during operation, the panel can twist enough to escape the rail.
