QUICK ANSWER
Door hanging crooked or jammed? It came off its track. Do not press the button or try to pull it back. Keep people and cars clear and call us. A door in that position can shift without warning.
An off-track door is one of the most urgent garage door problems. The door may be hanging by one cable, and the opener can make the damage worse.
Why a door leaves its track
A vehicle bump
Backing into the door or the track pushes a roller out of its groove.
A snapped cable or spring
When one side loses its lift, the door tilts and a roller pops out.
Something in the way
A bike, a toy, or a packed snowbank under the door can jam it and twist it off line.
HOW NEXTDOOR FIXES IT
We make the door safe first, then find why it came off. We re-seat or replace the rollers, straighten or replace damaged track, and inspect the cables and springs. The door runs again only after it tests smooth and level.
