Garage door issues may stem from a number of causes and each one can impact your ability to open and close your garage. Some of the most common problems stem from issues with your tracks and rollers, and those are ones you should look out for to ensure your garage doors operate safely and smoothly. With over 30 years of installing and repairing garage doors, the garage door repair team at Tracey Door Co in Rochester, NY, are experienced in all types of garage door problems and are experts at repairing them.

Below, the team explains three of the most common track and roller issues you may experience that may require garage door repair:

• Bent or Damaged Rollers: Your rollers play an important part in making sure your garage door opens and closes smoothly. They also make sure that the door stays aligned by guiding it along the tracks. A worn or bent roller will prevent the door from opening correctly. You may hear a popping sound when the door opens or closes—this is often a sign that the roller is worn and needs to be replaced. 
• No Lubrication: Another roller issue is improper lubrication on the track. If you inspect your rollers and don't see any worn, damaged, or bent pieces, they may just need to be properly lubricated. Rusty rollers are another sign that your garage door isn’t properly lubricated and you will need to replace the rollers.
• Door Won't Close: A garage door that won't close all the way could be caused by a bent or misaligned track. This misalignment can occur for a variety of reasons including broken cables, poorly lubricated rollers, age, or damage from a vehicle. A functioning track will keep the doors moving smoothly, and if any damage has occurred to it you should seek garage door repair.
