Quality Track Repair and Replacement Services Keep Your Garage Door Moving
Like other parts of your home, garage doors require maintenance to extend their lifespan and keep them moving freely. Bid My Garage Door provides quality track repair and replacement services to keep your garage door operating smoothly and you moving forward.
Why Doesn’t My Garage Door Open and Close Smoothly?
The tracks for your garage door are the likely culprit for a garage door that opens and closes – but not quite as it should. Your garage door has both horizontal and vertical tracks to aid in moving your garage door up and down.
There are several garage door tracks issues that can be the culprit in a door that doesn’t close properly or smoothly.
Spacing
Garage door tracks placed too far away from the jamb can cause a gap. However, when placed too closely together, the door can rub, preventing proper closure. Experienced installers like those at Bid My Garage Door know that the correct placement can make all the difference in the function of your garage door.
Fit
There are a variety of factors that can affect the fit of your garage door tracks over time. Tracks that are too tight can cause your garage door to bind. Tracks that are too loose can become dangerous and cause your garage door to fall. Bid My Garage Door’s professionals have the experience to safely analyze and adjust your garage door track’s fit.
Age
Wear and tear is a natural part of garage door use. Your garage door tracks are also impacted by the natural wear and tear of age. Over time your tracks can become warped, bent, or may simply begin to break down. This can not only affect the function of your garage door but can also become a dangerous hazard to your family and property.
Installation
If your garage door tracks weren’t properly installed, they may work fine for a time. However, eventually, it will cause the tracks to become loose, bind, or wear prematurely. Professional track installation helps your garage door to operate smoothly and safely and extends the life of your garage door.
Bid My Garage Door’s highly-skilled technicians will inspect your current tracks for damage, repair them when it’s safe and cost-efficient to do so, or replace them when not. We’ll make sure you understand all of your options and leave the decision-making up to you.
Should I Repair or Replace My Bent Garage Door Track?
One of the most common causes of issues for existing garage door tracks is that they become bent over time.
Bent garage door tracks may be caused by:
- An Unbalanced Door
- Exposure to the Elements
- Collision with Heavy Objects
- Lack of Lubrication
- Wear and Tear
- Poorly Functioning Opener
Bent garage door tracks can quickly lead to more extensive repairs if not addressed, and worse yet, they can become dangerous. Deciding whether to repair or replace your garage door track is one matter. Deciding whether or not to do it yourself is an entirely different one.
Garage doors are heavy and can cause serious injury. While DIY may be fine for some home repair projects, we recommend you leave this one to the experienced team of technicians at Bid My Garage Door. Our technicians can help you determine whether track repair is possible and handle your repair or replacement quickly, efficiently, and most importantly – safely.
