A Broken Spring – if you tried to operate the door with a broken spring it will cause one side to carry the load and will fall off track under the weight of the door. A broken spring can be frustrating and very problematic.
Damaged Doors – if the garage door becomes damaged around the top or bottom edge of a panel it can cause your door o go off track, the panel is typically buckled outward and you might think it still OK.
Garage Door Rollers Came Off Track
Bad Rollers – with time the rollers, which enable the door to move up and down with ease, can become wobbly and frozen in place, worn out or completely fall off.
It’s possible that it not just a single bad roller but more than one bad roller and this can cause your door to go off the track. The key reason that causes the garage door rollers will come off-track from a single bad roller or many bad rollers is that if the door fails to roll-up and down correctly, the opener will likely have difficulties opening and closing the door. Put in another way – if the garage opener cannot open the door it could make the cables jump off from the cable drum and cause the garage door to be uneven and if the door becomes uneven, the garage door rollers will begin to pop out. If the garage door wheel came off track it’s best to have a trained technician come out and inspect the damage. If a garage door roller is worn out so much that it lost its radius, meaning the tread part of the wheel has worn out, it will pop out of the track because it is made to stay in the track due to the radius that it is manufactured with.
The door is fashioned with a 90° angle in front along with a curved angle inside which the wheel treads of the roller rolls into. Hence, if the roller has worn out then it’s going to trigger a lot of problems.
Obstructed Track – most times it’s just a simple rake handle that fall into the track, or the track accidentally bend, causing an obstruction and making the garage door come down and also goes off.
Loose Hardware – If you’re wondering what causes a garage door to come track, the daily up and down movement of the door causes the nuts and bolts holding the door together to work them loose; making the door puts stress on different parts which eventually causes the door to become off track.
Someone hit the door with the car: sometimes homeowners who try to exit the garage door can accidentally hit the door with the car. In that case the repair could be simple or complicated, it all depend on the damage level to the door. Even though it might seem simple to push the roller back into the tracks, hoping that the door will work again. But what you do not really know is that doing so can be dangerous, it is advisable to call a garage door technician to fix the door for you, be sure that it is safe for use again, and only then can you get back to use the door. Trying to operate an off track garage door is hazardous, because it can fall completely out of tracks.
Apart from the above reasons; there are some other factors typically associated with garage doors being off track. Sometimes your garage door can become loose from its trails, due to something colliding with it-hard. For instance, if you accidentally set your car into reverse when the garage door is still closed, the crash can cause the door to jar off its-tracks.
