There are many reasons your garage door could have gone off its track.
If the entire system is not installed correctly, a piece may not be level or properly secured. This is why it’s essential to hire a skilled professional for the installation.
The door could have also been hit and thrown out of alignment or closed on something that pushed it. There could be dirt and grime lodged in the track or the rollers, and there could have been a slight dent in the track that worsened over time.
Whatever the reason, if you notice your garage door is acting strangely or if it gets stuck or won’t open, do not attempt to operate it until you have it looked at.
Attempting to use it in this state could permanently damage the entire system or cause damage to other components.
If the functionality of the springs is compromised by the door being off track, the springs could break, which can be extremely dangerous. It’s more cost-effective to have regular tune-ups and safety checkups done by an experienced professional in the long run. This preventative maintenance will keep you from needing any significant repairs.
