More about this in Bonney
A garage door track crooked in its mounting will pull the door off-line as it travels, so the rollers bind, scrape, or jump the rail instead of running smooth top to bottom. The fix is straightening or replacing the bent section and resetting the bracket alignment — bending it back by hand or forcing the door through it only makes the next jump worse. There is a wider write-up on same day garage door repair Bonney that covers the other faults too.

What makes a garage door track crooked in the first place
A vertical or horizontal track only has to shift a fraction of an inch out of parallel for a door to start dragging against the rail instead of rolling through it. A bracket that's worked loose, a bump from a car bumper or a lawn mower, or a wall stud that's shifted slightly can all throw the alignment off. Once that happens, every open-and-close cycle grinds the rollers against the same bent spot, so a small misalignment gets worse each time the door runs.
A garage door track crooked on a slab that's still settling in
Bonney's median house or condo was built in 2011, which means a large share of the garage doors standing in the village today are still on foundations that haven't finished settling the way older construction has. New-build slabs can shift slightly in the first years after a pour, and that kind of small settling is enough to nudge a track bracket out of true even when nothing has hit the door.

Why a garage door track crooked call stands out in a village this small
Bonney has 149 total housing units, with 109 occupied and 40 sitting vacant — a small enough housing stock that a single bent track or dented rail on one property stands out rather than blending into a larger subdivision's repair volume. In a village this size, a garage door track crooked call is usually tied to one specific door and one specific cause, not a pattern repeating across a block.
A garage door track crooked despite Bonney's newer homes
Bonney's population dropped from 384 residents at the 2000 census to 180 by the 2020 census, making it the smallest village in Texas, even as the median home in the village was going up around 2011. That mismatch between new construction and a shrinking population means a lot of the garage doors in Bonney are on houses that haven't had decades of wear — so when a track does go crooked, it's more often a single impact or a bracket that worked loose than years of accumulated slab movement.
Don't force a garage door past a crooked track
Running the opener through a bent section again and again wears the rollers, stresses the opener's drive gear, and can pull the door off the track completely. If the door is scraping, catching, or visibly leaning to one side as it travels, stop running it and get the track checked before it jumps the rail.
