"What do I do if my garage door came off the tracks?"

​

If your garage door came off the tracks and is stuck:

​

  • Do not press the wall control or pull the emergency release. You could possibly injure yourself as wel as damage the entire garage door system and motor.

  • Check to see if a cable has come loose. The door will not work properly with a loose cable. Do not touch or attempt to adjust the cables because they are under a dangerous amount of tension. If you have a loose cable, the other tight cable is under more than 300 lbs of tension.

  • Check to see if the lights are blinking on the motor. 

  • Contact a professional garage door company to look at the issue and perform the dangerous repair.

Properly setting the cables to the exact proper tension required for your door is an industry standard method, which your technician is well trained in. We will then put the door back on track to the original level state and position. The wheels usually tend to come out of the tracks, which we will re-install back into their hinges and back into the rails.

Sometimes the cables need to be replaced if they are broken or frayed. It is not uncommon to see a cable up cut pretty badly. If the cable needs a replacement we have them ready for you, and it only takes an additional 15 minutes to install

​

Once the cables have been reset we will make any necessary adjustments to the springs, which lose strength and tension over time. The springs may need to be replaced if they are weak. Garage door springs break after a given number of life cycles, and deprecate in power with frequent use.
