More about this in Fifth Street

A garage door off track sits jammed at an angle in its channel, grinding against the rail instead of sliding smoothly. A roller has jumped the track, and running the opener again just grinds the wheel or bends the rail further, so the door needs a controlled takedown before anything else happens. Anyone comparing options should also read the page on garage door technician Fifth Street.

Call (346) 220-4724 and a crew working the Fifth Street area will get the door back on its rails without forcing it.
