Garage door tracks are a set of rails installed at either side of the garage door where the rollers are placed, guiding the door’s steady movement. When these tracks bend or become damaged, you can notice the effects immediately. Bent or misaligned tracks cause the door to stick, drag or come off completely.
Properly working tracks keep your door running smoothly and help keep drafts out, which is better for energy efficiency. They also ensure everything lines up, so the door looks and functions perfectly.
When you notice your garage door‘s performance has slipped, reach out to the friendly, knowledgeable technicians at Whitby Garage Doors. We have over three decades of experience installing and repairing garage doors and provide fast, same-day repair services to quickly restore your garage door.

Signs You Need Garage Door Track Replacement
Observe the speed and movement of the garage door as it glides along the tracks. If the door slows or makes grinding, squeaking, or unpleasant rubbing sounds, then your garage door tracks likely have a slight misalignment. Visible rust, dents or noticeable gaps between the rollers and rail are also red flags.
Sometimes, the door might come off the track entirely or stop closing properly. If you’re noticing any of these signs, it’s a good idea to have the tracks checked before the issue gets worse or causes damage to other parts of the system. 
Common causes of track issues include:
- Garage door impact: Because they are exposed in the garage, the tracks can be accidentally hit at some point by a large object like your vehicle or other stored items like lawn equipment or bicycles. Even small impacts can cause the tracks to bend or become misaligned, affecting the quality of your hardware.
- Broken or damaged hardware: Proper garage door maintenance is crucial to ensuring long-term garage door performance — if you have broken drums or frayed cables, the weight of the garage door will sit on the tracks and cause them to bend and twist. It’s also important to keep the rollers properly and regularly lubricated so they can smoothly roll along the track. Improperly lubricated rollers that cannot move will create tension and damage the tracks.
- Track age: As garage door tracks age, they accumulate debris and rust buildup, which can damage parts of your garage system and cause the tracks to bend.
- Corrosion: Rain, snow and salt buildup will start to corrode the bottoms of your tracks, eventually disengaging them from their support brackets.
