Garage Door Garage Door Track Repair Telluride, CO
Homeowners across West Telluride, Dakota, East Telluride and East Pandora call us for garage door track repair because we know Telluride. The common drivers locally are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, doors iced to the slab on cold mornings, debris-blinded safety sensors, and UV-faded, brittle panels from high-altitude sun — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
If you've owned a garage door through a few Telluride seasons, you know the pattern: heavy winter snowfall, crisp dry summers, and sharp day-to-night swings driven by altitude brings ice that forms on tracks and bottom seals overnight, freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware, and deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease. We size and protect replacements accordingly.
Garage doors in Telluride tend to fail in predictable ways — cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, doors iced to the slab on cold mornings, debris-blinded safety sensors, and UV-faded, brittle panels from high-altitude sun. Catching them early during a tune-up usually costs a fraction of an emergency call.
Track repair covers the rails that guide the door's rollers from closed to fully open. Tracks bend from vehicle impact, twist from heavy door weight on under-spec rails, separate from masonry as anchors loosen, and rust from coastal exposure. A door with a damaged track doesn't roll smoothly — it binds, jumps the rail, or stops short. Track repair re-straightens, re-anchors, and where necessary replaces the bent section so the door tracks straight again.
We use a laser alignment tool to verify the track sits parallel to its mate within tolerance. Eyeballing tracks for plumb is unreliable; the laser catches twist and tilt that the eye misses. After alignment, brackets are re-anchored to manufacturer torque spec — under-torqued brackets are a slow-motion failure waiting to happen.
Bent sections that can't be straightened are replaced from stock. We carry 2-inch and 3-inch tracks in galvanized steel and the bracket families for the major door brands. Most track repairs are completed in 60–90 minutes. Severely damaged tracks from major impact may require partial track replacement and a roller inspection (impact often damages the rollers and panel mounts simultaneously).
Roller comes out of the channel mid-travel. Stop using the door — the next cycle could leave the door off-track entirely.
Visible bend or kink in the track
Vehicle impact, ladder strike, or shelf collapse against the track all cause visible bends. Repair before continued operation.
Door makes scraping or grinding sound
Track misalignment or roller bind causes audible scraping. Often easy to fix in the early stage; expensive to fix after the rollers also damage.
Track separating from wall
Brackets pulling loose from masonry or framing show as gaps between the track and the wall. Re-anchor before track shifts further.
Door uneven side-to-side
If one side of the door is higher than the other when fully closed, one track may have settled or shifted.
Common causes & what we fix
Vehicle impact
Backing into the door or sliding the car into the open track is the most common cause of bent rails. Often comes with associated panel damage.
Bracket anchor failure
Anchors pull from masonry or framing over years of cycle vibration. Re-anchoring to fresh holes restores hold.
Rust through
Coastal corrosion eats through track bottom where water pools. Replacement section with galvanized track stops the progression.
Under-spec track for door weight
Builder installs occasionally pair light-gauge track with heavy doors. The track flexes over time and develops bend.
Settling building
Foundation movement shifts walls and the brackets that anchor to them. Tracks twist as a result.
