Horizontal and vertical track repair for sectional doors. Bent rails are straightened or replaced, alignment is laser-checked, and brackets are re-anchored to spec.
For garage door track repair around Ketchum, the details that matter are local: low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, dust storms that pack debris into tracks and photo-eye sensors, and extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels. Our crews stock corrosion-resistant parts built for exactly those conditions.
The environment around Ketchum is unforgiving on hardware. A high, dry climate of intense summer heat, sharp overnight cooling, and very little annual precipitation means low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, dust storms that pack debris into tracks and photo-eye sensors, and extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, so we build every quote around durability.
Most Ketchum service tickets come down to heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors, dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, prematurely fatigued springs from extreme thermal cycling, and dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level. We carry the springs, cables, rollers, and opener boards to handle all of them out of one truck.
Track repair covers the rails that guide the door's rollers from closed to fully open. Tracks bend from vehicle impact, twist from heavy door weight on under-spec rails, separate from masonry as anchors loosen, and rust from coastal exposure. A door with a damaged track doesn't roll smoothly — it binds, jumps the rail, or stops short. Track repair re-straightens, re-anchors, and where necessary replaces the bent section so the door tracks straight again.
We use a laser alignment tool to verify the track sits parallel to its mate within tolerance. Eyeballing tracks for plumb is unreliable; the laser catches twist and tilt that the eye misses. After alignment, brackets are re-anchored to manufacturer torque spec — under-torqued brackets are a slow-motion failure waiting to happen.
Bent sections that can't be straightened are replaced from stock. We carry 2-inch and 3-inch tracks in galvanized steel and the bracket families for the major door brands. Most track repairs are completed in 60–90 minutes. Severely damaged tracks from major impact may require partial track replacement and a roller inspection (impact often damages the rollers and panel mounts simultaneously).

Roller comes out of the channel mid-travel. Stop using the door — the next cycle could leave the door off-track entirely.
Visible bend or kink in the track
Vehicle impact, ladder strike, or shelf collapse against the track all cause visible bends. Repair before continued operation.
Door makes scraping or grinding sound
Track misalignment or roller bind causes audible scraping. Often easy to fix in the early stage; expensive to fix after the rollers also damage.
Track separating from wall
Brackets pulling loose from masonry or framing show as gaps between the track and the wall. Re-anchor before track shifts further.
Door uneven side-to-side
If one side of the door is higher than the other when fully closed, one track may have settled or shifted.
Common causes & what we fix
Vehicle impact
Backing into the door or sliding the car into the open track is the most common cause of bent rails. Often comes with associated panel damage.
Bracket anchor failure
Anchors pull from masonry or framing over years of cycle vibration. Re-anchoring to fresh holes restores hold.
Rust through
Coastal corrosion eats through track bottom where water pools. Replacement section with galvanized track stops the progression.
Under-spec track for door weight
Builder installs occasionally pair light-gauge track with heavy doors. The track flexes over time and develops bend.
Settling building
Foundation movement shifts walls and the brackets that anchor to them. Tracks twist as a result.

Frequently asked about garage door track repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Track Repair near me ask us:
Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Ketchum: with high and low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast, dust storms that pack debris into tracks and photo-eye sensors, and extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, the common failure modes are heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors, dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, prematurely fatigued springs from extreme thermal cycling, and dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level. Our Ketchum trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
In Ketchum it is usually heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors — and because the area has predominantly single-family homes with attached garages, plus a core of older in-town residences, we also see a lot of dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
Yes — we don't leave until the door cycles fully and smoothly with no binding. Photo-eye, force, and balance are all verified before we go.
In coastal zones — yes, almost always. Inland — standard tracks are fine. We default to galvanized within 5 miles of the coast.
Sometimes — mild bends in galvanized steel can be re-straightened with a track-press tool. Severe bends, kinks, and corroded sections need replacement.
Yes — new doors should always be paired with new tracks and brackets. Reusing old tracks is a false economy that limits the new door's life.
