Safety first

Do not use an off-track door

Leave the door where it is. Do not use the opener and do not try to force the door. An off-track door can fall, and using it can damage other parts. Call 765-674-6789. Emergency service is available 24/7.

How a garage door comes off its track

A door rarely comes off its track on its own. Usually another part breaks first. For example, a torsion spring can snap, and the door drops and jams in the track. A car can also hit the door and push it out of place.

Our technicians find the cause, repair it and realign the door so it opens and closes correctly. Our trucks carry the parts for most track repairs, so we can often finish in one visit.

Signs your door is off track

An off-track door can damage the other parts of the door system. It can also stop the door from working at all. Call us if you see any of these signs.

Off-track door questions

Is an off-track garage door dangerous?

An off-track door is not dangerous if it stays still. If you try to operate it, it can fall or damage the rest of the door system. Do not use the door. Let a trained technician repair it.

Will I need other repairs?

Often, yes. A door rarely comes off its track on its own. Usually a spring, cable or roller broke first. We repair that part too and give you the full price in writing.

Can I push the door back on the track myself?

We do not recommend it. The door is heavy, and the springs and cables can be under tension. Leave the door where it is and call us.

What does the repair include?

We inspect the door system, repair the cause, put the door back on its track and do a balance test. We also realign the safety sensors so they work correctly.
