More about this in Hedwig Village

A garage door off track sits wedged at an angle in its channel, grinding or refusing to move at all. The rollers that are supposed to keep the door running straight have come loose from the track, and pushing the door the rest of the way by hand or by opener is how a bent track becomes a bent panel. There is a wider write-up on Hedwig Village garage door company that covers the other faults too.

Why a garage door jumps its track in Hedwig Village

Garage door that jumped its track in Hedwig Village, TX: a high lift track conversion

Rollers travel inside a metal channel bolted to the door frame, and anything that knocks that channel out of true — a roller worn down enough to bind, a bracket that has loosened over the years, or a hard bump from a car — gives the door room to jump the channel on its next pass. Once it's off, the door is no longer square to the opening, which is why it grinds instead of gliding.

A garage door still has a loaded spring above it once it's off track

A door that has jumped its track has not lost the tension in its torsion spring — that spring is still wound tight and still carrying weight the door is no longer balancing correctly. Bringing an off-track door down safely means controlling that stored energy the whole time, not just wrestling the panel back into the channel.
