How a garage door ends up derailed in Webster

Every panel section rides on small wheels set into a fixed-width steel channel, and that fit only has to loosen a little — a bracket screw backing out, a track bowing slightly at a seam — before a wheel works its way past the channel's edge. Once that happens the door no longer has both sides riding true, so it drags, binds, or stops moving in either direction until the wheel is guided back where it belongs.

Your garage door came off the rails in Webster, TX: service trucks arriving at sunrise

A door that derails partway through its cycle usually still has a fully wound spring sitting above it, carrying the same load it would if the door were working normally. Yanking the panel back onto the track by hand risks letting that stored energy go all at once, right where hands are closest to the mechanism. The safer order is spring first, then track, with the door lowered and secured before either gets touched.
