Off-Track Garage Door and Cable Repair in Carson, CA
A door that has come off its track or lost a cable is under uneven load and can fall or twist further. Unplug the opener, keep clear of the door, and call us.
Call 310-362-5106Contact usWhat knocks a door off track
- A car or cart bumping the door or the track.
- A lift cable that snapped or slipped off its drum.
- Worn or broken rollers.
- Track brackets that worked loose over time.
- Something in the track, or the door closing on an object.
Signs of a cable or track problem
- One side of the door is higher than the other.
- Rollers sit outside the track or the track is bent.
- A cable is frayed, loose or hanging beside the door.
- The door shudders or makes a popping sound as it moves.
What to do right now
- Stop using the opener and unplug it.
- Do not try to force the door up or down, and do not hammer the track back into place.
- Keep people, pets and cars away from the door.
- If the door is open, leave it open.
Cables connect to the springs, so a cable problem often means spring tension is involved. That makes this a job for a technician. If it happens after hours, see emergency garage door repair.
How we fix it
The repair usually involves securing the door, releasing spring tension, setting the rollers back in the track, straightening or replacing bent track sections, and replacing worn cables or rollers. Then the springs are re-tensioned and the door is balanced and tested. If the springs are worn too, see broken spring repair.
