How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and use locking pliers on the tracks to prevent the door from moving unexpectedly while working.
- Inspect tracks: Look along the Garador door tracks for kinks, bends, or misalignment. Tracks should be parallel and plumb.
- Check brackets: Tighten all track mounting brackets and angle irons. Replace any that are cracked or twisted.
- Examine rollers: Spin each roller by hand. Replace any that are noisy, seized, or have flat spots.
- Adjust track alignment: Loosen the mounting bolts slightly and tap the track into correct alignment with a soft mallet, then retighten.
- Lubricate: Apply a light garage door lubricant to roller stems and hinges (not to the track running surface).
