Homeowners across Allison and the surrounding Gallup area call us for garage door track repair because we know Gallup. The common drivers locally are heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, prematurely fatigued springs from extreme thermal cycling, and cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Gallup's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With a high, dry climate of intense summer heat, sharp overnight cooling, and very little annual precipitation, doors here face extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, rapid day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware over time, and low ambient humidity that dries out factory track lubrication fast — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
Across McKinley County, the garage door problems we see again and again are heat-warped panels on west-facing steel doors, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, prematurely fatigued springs from extreme thermal cycling, and cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.
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:
What's the most common garage door problem in Gallup?
In Gallup 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-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
How old are most garage doors in Gallup?
About 62% of Gallup's housing predates 1980, with a median build year of 1975; on doors that age, worn springs, tired openers, and brittle weather seals are the norm rather than the exception.
Can a bent track be straightened?
Sometimes — mild bends in galvanized steel can be re-straightened with a track-press tool. Severe bends, kinks, and corroded sections need replacement.
Should I replace tracks during a door 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.
Are galvanized tracks worth the upgrade?
In coastal zones — yes, almost always. Inland — standard tracks are fine. We default to galvanized within 5 miles of the coast.
How long does track repair take?
Most jobs: 60–90 minutes. Full track replacement (rare): 2–3 hours. Includes alignment verification and a balance test.
