Garage Door Alignment Solutions for Palatka Homeowners

Does your garage door make a grinding noise when it opens, or does it look slightly crooked when closed? These are often signs that your door has shifted out of place. In Palatka, where humidity and heat can wear down moving parts, keeping your garage door tracks and rollers in the right spot is vital for a safe home.

Why Proper Alignment Matters

When your garage door is straight and true, it moves quietly and puts less stress on the motor and springs. If the tracks get bent or the sensors aren't looking at each other correctly, the door might stop halfway or even jump off the track, which can be dangerous for your family or pets.

Our Approach to Fixing Your Door

At Door Master Clinic, we don't just "fix" the problem—we look at the whole setup to find why it moved in the first place. Our Palatka team checks:

  • Track Straightness: We make sure the metal tracks are perfectly vertical and haven't pulled away from the wall.
  • Sensor Sightlines: We reset your safety eyes so they can "see" each other without interruptions.
  • Roller Health: We swap out worn rollers that might be dragging and pulling the door lopsided.

  • How do I know if my garage door is out of alignment?

    You might see gaps between the door and the weather stripping, hear a rubbing sound, or notice that one side of the door sits higher than the other when it's closed.

  • Can I straighten the tracks myself?

    While you can tighten a loose screw, garage door tracks are under a lot of pressure from the springs and cables. It is safer to let a professional handle the adjustments to avoid the door falling or causing an injury.

  • Why does my garage door start to close and then go back up?

    This is usually a sensor alignment issue. If the two sensors at the bottom of your tracks aren't pointed directly at each other, the system thinks something is in the way and reverses the door for safety.

  • How often should I have my garage door checked in Palatka?

    Because of the Florida humidity and salt air, we recommend a professional check-up once a year to keep the metal parts from rusting or shifting over time.
