Smooth
functioning of a garage door depends upon its rollers as these are
allocated in place by brackets that are attached to the door of your
garage. The roller has a stalk which fits into a bracket sleeve while
the roller itself fits into a track. But, sometimes the roller can
jump off track and can be the head of most of the troubles and
blunders.
Things
You Can Do to Avoid Getting Your Garage Door off Track
Check
The Tracks First: Always make sure that the tracks are still well
fixed on your wall. The tracks out of wall are one of the main
reasons why garage door rollers go off track. If you find the
brackets (those which anchors the tracks to the wall) loose, then you
must tight the bolts in terms of security. A bad dent is also
responsible to cause the garage door to go off track. Therefore,
repair serious dents by pounding on them using the hammer and block
of wood. If there is heavy damage on the tracks, replace them or call
professionals before it may cause a serious safety hazard.
Make
Sure That the Tracks are Clean: Dirt and grime that gathers on
the track can be responsible for garage
door off track. Cleaning the tracks can reduce the chances of
any damage or malfunctioning of any part.
Lubricate
Tracks for Better Functioning: Lubrication ensures you that your
garage door rollers are running smoothly. Therefore, not only
lubricate the tracks of a door but also oil or lubricate the other
parts of your garage door too.
By
doing these mentioned activities you take a step forward to ensure
that your garage door will open and close smoothly, without any
problem.
