Garage Door Track Repair and Replacement
The most common cause of track repair and replacement is another part of the garage door system malfunctioning:
- Broken cable: When one attempts to close the door, the door will bend the track.
- Roller displacement: Results from a lack of lubrication on roller stems& leads to inflexibility & bending of the lower portion of horizontal track.
- Rust: If the door is in a moist environment
- Commercial accidents: often involving heavy equipment such as forklifts. Replacement becomes warranted with these types of accidents.
- Vehicle Collisions
- Normal shifting of the foundation & construction materials over time.
Garage Door Track sizes
Until recently, all door manufacturers made their own tracks; now only a few do, including Wayne Dalton and Overhead.Some garage door tracks come galvanized for rust and corrosion protection. Older tracks usually used steel simply covered with paint. Vertical tracks most commonly measure six feet four inches to 14 feet and four inches.
Garage door tracks can be purchased in three widths:
- 1”: Mostly commercial use
- 2”: Mostly residential and some commercial use
- 3”: Heavier residential and industrial garage doors.
Track Lift Types
Manufacturers produce three types of track lifts:
- Standard lift: Mostly Residential Use –
- Consists of vertical track (Usually 6’4”)and a curved section allowing the door to rise and move to a horizontal position.
- Vertical lift: Commercial and Industrial Use –
- Consists of vertical track also but also includes additional vertical track angled away from the wall allowing space for a larger spring assembly.
- High lift: Combines Features of Standard Lift and Vertical Lift –
- Consists of a vertical track, a horizontal track that is shorter than standard, and a high lift extension. Residential systems may require a high lift conversion kit. These kits have become popular recently.
