First, check the tracks, and ensure that they are well anchored with the wall. The rollers can go off the track as well when tracks come off the wall. If the track is loose, you can fix it by tightening the brackets by using a wrench. If you see any dent or damage in the track, you should smoothen it up with the help of a hammer and a wooden block.
If you see a heavy damage on the tracks, it’s best to replace it to avoid a serious issue. If you can’t decide if the track needs to be fixed or replaced, consider seeking the help of a professional garage door service.
Using a level, check the alignment of the rollers. If they are not in the right position, loosen the brackets which hold them in their position. When they are loose, tap on them with a hammer until they are aligned perfectly.
