A garage door opener off track — what's actually happening

A roller rides in a steel channel on each side of the door. A hard hit to the door, a bent bracket, a worn roller, or a spring that's no longer carrying its share of the weight can all pull a roller far enough sideways that it climbs out of the channel. Once that happens the opener has no straight path to pull the door along, so it strains, stalls, or drags the panel against the frame.

Garage door opener that came off its rail in Rosenberg, TX: a high lift track conversion
