Warning Signs of Worn-Out Garage Door Tracks

There are ways to tell if you must replace the garage door tracks. Listed below are some common warning signs:

Misalignment

If your garage door has problems when opening or closing or looks crooked or uneven, it may be out of alignment. It can happen when the door stops working because the tracks are broken or bent.

Noise

If you hear scraping, grinding, or squeaking sounds when you use your garage door, it could mean that the tracks are worn or broken. These noises come from the rollers or the door rubbing against the broken tracks.

Rust or corrosion 

Check for any indications of rust or corrosion on the tracks. Rust can damage the tracks' structure and cause them to fall apart over time. If it is corroded or rusty, it is clear that the tracks need to be replaced.

Cracked or bent tracks

Look at the tracks to see if they are bent or cracked. Over time, heavy impacts or constant wear and tear can cause the tracks to bend or crack. Broken or bent tracks can make it hard for the door to move smoothly and pose a safety risk.

Trouble opening or closing 

It could be due to broken tracks if you have difficulty operating your garage door. If the door moves on damaged tracks, it may become stuck or jammed.

Tracks that are loose or wobbly

When you check the tracks, ensure they are firmly attached to the garage walls. If the garage door tracks are loose or shaky, they can make the door less stable and stop it from working properly.
