More about this in Roman Forest

A garage door track crooked in its mounting means the rail has pulled away from true, and every roller riding through it is grinding against metal that isn't lined up straight anymore. The door will still move, usually, but it binds, scrapes or jumps at the same spot on every open and close until the track gets reset.

A garage door track crooked on one side usually starts at a bracket

The rail doesn't warp on its own. Something loosens the brackets holding it to the framing — a bump from a car, a screw that's worked loose over years of cycling, or a stud that's shifted slightly — and once one bracket lets go, the track pulls out of line right at that point. The rollers keep trying to travel a straight path through a rail that's no longer straight, and that's the grinding or scraping a lot of callers describe before they ever see the bend itself.

A bend low on the track, near where the door starts its travel, tends to show up as a scrape or a jump right when the door lifts off the floor. A bend higher up, closer to where the track curves toward the ceiling, is more likely to show up as noise or resistance only near the top of the cycle. Either one gets checked the same way — bracket by bracket, roller by roller — but where the bend sits changes which part of the run gives the trouble.
