What causes a garage door track to go crooked
A bracket working loose from the framing over years of vibration is one of the more common causes — the track itself is fine, but its anchor points have shifted, letting the whole rail drift slightly out of true.
Soil associations behind slab and garage door frame movement in Katy
The USDA maps the Katy area under the "Katy-Wockley-Gessner" and "Beaumont-League-Labelle" soil associations, both of which include clay-bearing soils prone to some seasonal movement. That kind of ground shift can, over years, nudge a garage frame just enough to throw a previously true track out of square.
Spotting a garage door track crooked early

Why both garage door rails get checked, not just the obvious one
A track that looks crooked on one side sometimes has its root cause on the opposite rail, which has shifted just enough to pull the door — and therefore the other track — out of alignment along with it.
Age and the garage door track pattern in Katy
With Katy's median home built in 2010, most crooked-track calls trace to gradual bracket loosening or minor frame movement rather than a single dramatic event. A garage door track crooked fix restores square, quiet travel across the door's full range.
