Off Track Garage Door Repair South Florida
There are few garage door problems that are as shocking and as jarring as a door that goes off track. When your garage door works, it’s probably one of the most convenient features of your home. When it fails, it’s a major interruption that could bring your entire day to a halt.
A door falling off track is easy to spot. You activate your remote, one side of the door starts to move up, and the other gets left behind. This could come with some grinding or knocking sounds before your opener detects a problem and tries to reverse the door. This comes with more grinding and scraping before you manually turn off the system.
As you think about it, it starts to look like a nightmare scenario. If the damage is bad enough, it could mean you need to replace your garage door. If you try to force the door, it could pull the tracks from their mounting points, leading to extensive repair needs.
You might start panicking when your door falls off the tracks, but you don’t actually need to. With Garage Door Pros, you can schedule an emergency callout for off-track garage Door Repair in Broward, Palm Beach, Dade, and the surrounding areas.
What Causes a Garage Door to Fall Off Its Tracks?
The need for off-track garage door repair usually arises because one of both of your garage door cables has broken. Cables play an essential role in both garage door operation and safety. They counter the weight of the door so that it is smoothly guided when moving up and down in the tracks.
When one or two cables fail, the door has nothing to keep it in balance. It becomes lopsided, and the force of the motor can push the rollers outside of the tracks.
Even if your door hasn’t yet come off the tracks, but it is unbalanced on either side, it’s time to talk to a professional. Ignoring the problem could lead to a costlier repair.

Like most garage door repairs, DIY is not an option. Without experience, you put yourself, your family, and your property in harm’s way. Garage door accidents are not uncommon.
