Please don't force it. A door that's off its track can fall. Unplug the opener, keep people and cars clear, and text us a photo of both sides of the door.
Common causes
- A car or bin bumped the door or the track
- A broken cable or spring makes one side drop
- Worn rollers or loose track bolts
What it usually costs
Off-track repairs are usually priced like other standard repairs. For most repairs, This Old House puts the typical range at $98–$371 (This Old House, updated May 29, 2026). Bent track sections or a broken cable cost more. You'll get the price in writing first.

Who answers when you call
This website is run by the operator of this site. We are not a repair company. We connect you with a licensed local garage door company that has agreed in writing to the promises on this page, and we tell you its name before anyone comes out.
Your request goes to one company, not three. We never sell your details to a list of contractors.
