More about this in Alief

A garage door off track has jumped its rollers out of the metal channel that's supposed to guide it, and the door usually sits crooked in the opening, grinding or refusing to move in either direction. Nothing about this should get forced, since a torsion spring above the door is very often still fully loaded and under tension even while the door itself is stuck.

A garage door track bent by decades of roller wear

Garage door that jumped its track in Alief, TX: testing the door balance

With 40% of Alief's housing built in the 1970s and another 29% in the 1980s, a lot of the tracks bolted to garage frames across the community have been guiding the same rollers for 45 years or more. A track that's taken that much repeated roller travel wears unevenly over time, and a door that's been running slightly crooked for years is the kind that eventually jumps the channel entirely.

Flood corrosion behind a garage door off track in Alief

An estimated 11,456 homes flooded in Alief during Hurricane Harvey in 2017, and Alief's own flooding history goes back over a century — residents formed the Harris County Flood Control District here in 1909 because of how often the area took on water even before the modern subdivisions existed. Track brackets and roller hardware that sat in floodwater corrode from the inside, and a rusted bracket letting go under normal use is one of the more common reasons a door comes off its track years after the water is gone.

Never force a garage door back onto its track
