Track Repair & Alignment in Calgary & Central Alberta
Bent, loose or misaligned tracks corrected to factory spec — so the door runs straight, quiet and easy on every other component.
The True North Standard
Track Services We Provide
Garage door tracks guide several hundred pounds of moving door on every cycle — and even a few millimetres of misalignment shows up as sticking, grinding and uneven travel. True North Overhead Doors LTD repairs and realigns garage door tracks across Calgary, Strathmore and Central Alberta, restoring smooth, safe operation without unnecessary parts swapping.
Homeowners often overlook track issues until the door begins binding or comes off its rollers entirely. Tracks drift out of alignment from loosened lag bolts, vehicle bumps, building settling and seasonal movement in Alberta's freeze-thaw cycles. We find the root cause, correct the geometry and secure the mounting so it stays fixed.
- Bent and dented track straightening or replacement
- Vertical and horizontal track realignment
- Off-track door recovery — made safe and re-set
- Mounting brackets tightened and reinforced
- Roller condition checked along the full travel
- Multi-cycle testing after adjustment

Why True North
How Proper Alignment Protects Your Whole Door
Correctly aligned tracks let the door move evenly and take unnecessary stress off rollers, cables, hinges and the opener. Misalignment left alone compounds: rollers wear flat, cables load unevenly, and the opener works harder every cycle until something more expensive fails.
A measured approach — root cause, not temporary fix — is why customers describe our work as 'very square, neat and tidy.' That's the goal on every track call.

Common Questions
Track Repair & Alignment FAQs
Stop operating it immediately — running an off-track door bends panels and shears rollers. Disconnect the opener if it's safe to reach, leave the door where it is, and call us at 587-377-3667. Off-track recovery is one of our most common emergency calls.
Track adjustment and repair starts at $125.25, with exact pricing quoted up front once we've inspected the damage.
Not always. Minor bends can often be professionally straightened and re-secured. Kinked, corroded or crushed sections should be replaced — we'll show you the damage and recommend the economical option that's still safe.
