Track Alignment

Tracks can become misaligned due to foundation settling, impact damage, loose mounting bolts, temperature changes affecting building structure, or normal wear over time. Heavy doors or high-use applications may require more frequent track adjustments.

Signs include noisy operation, jerky movement, door binding or sticking, visible gaps between rollers and tracks, or if the door doesn't close completely. You may also notice increased wear on rollers or unusual sounds during operation.

Tracks should be inspected during annual maintenance and aligned as needed. High-use doors may need more frequent checks. We recommend professional track alignment if you notice operation issues, after any impact damage, or as part of regular preventive maintenance.

Yes, misaligned tracks can cause premature wear on rollers, strain springs, damage hinges, and affect opener operation. Proper track alignment is essential for protecting your entire door system and preventing costly component failures.

Professional track alignment typically takes 1-2 hours including inspection, measurement, adjustment, and testing. We also check related components like rollers and hinges to ensure optimal door performance.
