How much does track alignment cost?

Track alignment and repair typically costs between $199-$599 depending on the severity of the misalignment and whether tracks need replacement. Prices vary based on parts needed. We provide free estimates before any work begins.

Why does my wide shop door bind on one side?

Wide spans are less forgiving of track that is slightly out of square. On a long door a small difference between the two sides shows up as one roller binding at the top of travel. We check both vertical tracks for plumb and the horizontal for level, rather than adjusting only the side that sticks.

Is the original track on a house of this age worth keeping?

Often yes, if it is straight and the fasteners still hold. Track from that period is lighter gauge than current stock, so it bends more easily, and the lag bolts have had decades in the same timber. We check the framing behind the rail as well as the rail, because sound track in soft wood still moves.

What causes tracks to become misaligned?

Common causes include impact damage (car bumping the door), house settling or foundation shifts, loose mounting brackets, worn hardware, and improper original installation.

Can bent tracks be repaired or do they need replacement?

Minor bends can often be corrected. Severely bent, kinked, or damaged tracks typically need replacement to ensure safe, smooth operation.

How long does track repair take?

Most track alignments and repairs are completed in 1-2 hours. Full track replacement may take longer depending on the complexity.

Why do my rollers keep popping out of the track?

This usually indicates misaligned tracks, worn rollers, loose track brackets, or a combination of these issues. Professional inspection can identify the root cause.

Will track problems damage my garage door opener?

Yes, misaligned tracks force the opener to work harder, which can cause premature wear on the motor, gears, and drive system. Addressing track issues promptly protects your opener.

Important Safety Information

•Misaligned tracks can cause the door to fall unexpectedly
•Do not attempt to bend tracks back into shape yourself - improper repair can worsen the problem
•Light gauge track on older tract doors dents easily. Running the door through a dented section chews the rollers and can lift it out.
•High lift track on an RV door holds the door higher for longer. A misaligned section up there can bring the door down hard.
•Professional assessment ensures proper alignment and safe operation

Don't risk your safety. Call a professional today.

Proudly Serving Northridge, CA

Postwar ranch tract dominates here, with pockets like Devonshire Highlands built out in the mid-1950s on lots up to half an acre and wide, low openings that modern stock sizes do not always match. Homes of that era often still carry their original framing, which rarely lines up with the door dimensions sold today. Out on the larger Sherwood Forest parcels, detached garages and RV-height doors turn up regularly.
