What sends a garage door roller off track in the first place

A roller comes off the track for one of a few reasons: a bent track section pinches the wheel out of its channel, a bracket holding the track to the frame has worked loose, or the roller itself has worn down enough that it no longer sits square in the groove. Any one of those turns a smooth up-and-down door into one that grinds, jerks sideways, or stops partway through its travel.

A track bracket that's rusted where it bolts to the frame is a common reason a roller works its way loose and eventually jumps the channel on homes closer to the shoreline.
