Properly aligned track is an important part to a properly working garage door. Over time, garage door tracks can become misaligned, bent, or rusted. In these cases, you should schedule a professional mechanic to review your garage door system. Without the proper tools and training, realigning or replacing garage door tracks can be dangerous.

Many people think a bent or misaligned track can be beat out with a hammer, however,this can cause even greater damage to the alignment and put the whole system at risk in many cases. Screws and bolts will likely need to be taken out in order to properly fix the track.
