More about this in Bonney

Garage door track damage shows up as a door that grinds, hangs up partway, or pops a roller loose from the rail instead of gliding smooth. A bent or dented track throws the whole door out of line, and forcing the opener through it just bends the metal further or drags the roller out of the channel completely.

What garage door track damage looks like before the door quits moving

A track only has to be a little out of true for a door to start binding. Watch for a roller riding up out of the rail on one side, a visible gap or dent along the vertical section, or a door that scrapes and jerks instead of sliding. Left alone, a bent track wears the rollers faster and eventually pulls the door off the rail entirely, usually at the worst possible moment.

Garage door track that got damaged in Bonney, TX: replacing the door rollers

With Bonney's median house or condo built in 2011, most of the tracks in the village are still on original hardware from a fairly recent install rather than decades-old rail. That means when garage door track damage turns up on a Bonney garage, it's rarely rust or age doing the damage — it's almost always a one-time impact, like a car bumper clipping the rail or something heavy falling against it, bending metal that was otherwise sound. A different cause with similar signs is Bonney garage door track crooked help.

Why garage door track damage doesn't fix itself with WD-40

Spraying the rollers or the rail might quiet a squeak for a day, but it does nothing for a bent channel. A track has to hold a straight line top to bottom for the rollers to travel without catching, and once it's dented or knocked out of plumb, the only real fix is straightening the section or swapping it out — lubricant just masks the grinding until the roller jumps the rail again.

Garage door track damage can sit hidden on Bonney's vacant properties

Damage to a garage door's rail in Bonney, TX: a service call at a Texas farmhouse

Bonney has 149 total housing units, but only 109 are occupied — 40 sit vacant at any given time. A garage door on a vacant or lightly used property can go months without running, and when it's finally cycled again, a track that was already slightly bent from a bump months earlier is more likely to bind hard on that first run rather than showing gradual wear like a door that's been used daily.

Call before a bent garage door track pulls the roller all the way off the rail

A door that's already grinding or hanging up on one side is close to jumping the track completely, and once a roller comes free of the rail the door can drop unevenly or jam wide open.
