What causes garage door track damage in the first place

Any one of those can pull a track out of its straight line, and a door running against a bent rail wears its rollers and hinges faster with every cycle until the track gets fixed.

Garage door track wear on Barrett's older homes

Barrett's housing stock skews toward homes built between 1970 and 1999, with a mix of newer construction added since 2000, meaning the tracks bolted into a lot of Barrett garages have been carrying the same door for decades. Brackets that have held steady for that long can still work loose slowly, and a rail that has flexed under normal use for that many years is a more likely candidate for garage door track damage than one installed in the last few years.

Garage door track damage doesn't fix itself waiting it out
