A garage door off the tracks in Chicago often follows a bump from a car, a snapped cable, or worn rollers. It's one repair we strongly recommend leaving to a pro.

Why does this keep happening in Chicago? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Sub-zero cold takes its toll — sub-zero cold snaps springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door off the tracks is one of the more common calls our Chicago crews run.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door off the tracks

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

A vehicle bump
Even a light tap can knock a door out of alignment.
A broken cable
When a cable lets go, the door can slip off the track on one side.
Worn rollers or loose track hardware
Old rollers and loose brackets let the door wander off the rails.
