Local matters for garage door track repair. In Burton and neighboring Beaufort, Shell Point, Laurel Bay, and Port Royal, the failures we address most are rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Ask any Burton tech and they'll tell you the climate decides what fails. Hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year brings summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, year after year.
Burton homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — before quoting a flat rate.
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:
How does the climate in Burton, SC affect my garage door?
Burton sits in hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year. That is hard on a door — summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, and high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We size springs and seals for South Carolina's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
How old are most garage doors in Burton?
Burton runs a mixed-age housing stock (median build year 1986), roughly 31% pre-1980, so we see both first-generation doors and aging replacements.
Will the door work after repair?
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.
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.
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.
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.
