More about this in Porter Heights

A garage door track crooked in its mounting means the door is no longer riding straight up and down — it drags on one side, binds partway through the cycle, or jumps a roller right out of the rail. Bent, twisted or pulled-loose track doesn't fix itself, and running the opener against it just works the bend in deeper. Everything here sits under the wider guide to emergency garage door repair Porter Heights.

What a garage door track crooked actually does to the rest of the door

A track that's out of line doesn't stay a small problem. Every cycle the door makes with a bent or twisted rail scrapes rollers against metal that isn't where it should be, which wears the rollers faster, stresses the hinges at each panel joint, and can eventually pull the whole section loose from the wall. What starts as a door that drags in one spot turns into a door that jumps the track entirely if it keeps running that way.

Pushing or pulling a bent track back toward straight usually just moves the bend somewhere else, and a loaded spring above a door that's binding on a crooked track makes the whole thing more dangerous to be near, not less.

What Harvey's flooding means for a garage door track near the San Jacinto side

Harvey's floodwater hit Porter Heights and the neighboring River Ridge subdivision hard enough to tear homes from their foundations near the west fork of the San Jacinto River.
