A garage door off the tracks in Des Moines 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 Des Moines? A lot of it comes down to the local climate. Freezing winters takes its toll — cold snaps brittle springs, and road salt corrodes hardware — so a garage door off the tracks is one of the more common calls our Des Moines crews run.

What might be wrong

Old rollers and loose brackets let the door wander off the rails.
