Crashed & Off-Track Garage Door Repair

A crashed door signifies a major problem requiring immediate professional assessment. Look for these critical signs:

• Door Off-Track: Rollers have visibly popped out of the metal tracks, often leaving the door hanging crookedly or jammed.
• Severe Panel Damage: One or more panels are significantly bent, buckled, dented, or broken (often from vehicle impact).
• Completely Stuck: The door won't move up or down at all, possibly stuck at an angle.
• Fallen Door: The door has partially or completely detached and fallen (this is extremely dangerous).
• Loud Noise: The event was likely accompanied by a loud bang, crash, or grinding sound.

If your door exhibits any of these signs, DO NOT attempt to move it, force it, or operate the opener. It is likely unstable and unsafe.

Several things can lead to a serious door malfunction:

• Accidental Impact: Hitting the door with a car or other object.
• Broken Springs or Cables: Sudden failure of these parts removes support, causing imbalance and derailment.
• Hitting an Obstruction: Forcing the door down onto something left in its path.
• Worn or Damaged Rollers: Rollers that seize up or break can easily jump the track.
• Bent or Damaged Tracks: If the tracks themselves are bent or misaligned, the rollers can't follow them correctly.
