We work with both side-mounted and ceiling-mounted tracks, as well as commercial-grade heavy-duty tracks. Our technicians are equipped to handle both traditional curved track systems and more modern direct-drive systems that some high-end manufacturers use.

GMR technicians use specialized equipment including track alignment tools, commercial-grade track benders, heavy-duty C-clamps, proper lifting equipment, track rollers, roller stems, hinges, and appropriate safety gear. We utilize industrial-grade fasteners, galvanized steel track components, and manufacturer-specified hardware to ensure repairs meet or exceed original specifications. When necessary, we also use specialized pulley systems to safely handle heavier commercial doors.

Yes, GMR technicians are trained to work with specialty systems including high-lift tracks, vertical-lift tracks, follow-the-roof tracks, and custom radius tracks. We also service specialized commercial systems like fire-rated doors, high-speed doors, and oversized industrial doors. Our experience extends to custom carriage house door tracks, glass aluminum door systems, and other architectural specialty door tracks that require precise alignment.

Homeowners should regularly inspect track alignment, looking for bent sections or loose hardware. Monthly lubrication of rollers and hinges with silicone-based lubricant (not WD-40) helps prevent binding. Check and tighten track brackets and mounting hardware quarterly. Keep tracks clean of debris and buildup. Test the door balance by disconnecting the opener and manually operating the door – it should stay in place when stopped halfway. Finally, avoid bumping tracks with vehicles or equipment that could cause misalignment.

GMR works with various roller systems including standard steel rollers, nylon rollers for quieter operation, sealed bearing rollers for smoother movement, and heavy-duty commercial rollers. We can install specialty rollers like UltraLife nylon rollers with sealed bearings for residential applications or steel-reinforced rollers for industrial doors. Our technicians also work with specialized stem lengths and diameters to match specific door and track configurations.

After a repair, homeowners should listen for unusual noises during operation, which may indicate developing issues. Apply silicone-based lubricant to rollers, hinges, and springs every 3-6 months. Visually inspect tracks monthly for signs of new damage or misalignment. Keep track channels clean of debris. Check hardware tightness quarterly using appropriate tools. Test the auto-reverse safety features monthly. Avoid excessive force when operating the door manually. Schedule annual professional maintenance to catch potential issues before they lead to another off-track situation.

GMR technicians utilize comprehensive safety equipment including heavy-duty work gloves, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, and hard hats when necessary. For spring work, we use proper spring winding bars and containment cables. Our technicians employ proper lifting techniques and use door support systems to prevent injury. We also use specialized clamps and braces to secure doors during repair, along with proper ladders and lifting equipment rated for the weight of commercial doors when required.

Warning signs include visible gaps between rollers and tracks, grinding or scraping noises during operation, door shaking or vibrating excessively when moving, door appearing crooked or uneven when closed, rollers that appear worn or damaged, visible bending in track sections, door movement hesitation or jerking, cables that appear loose or frayed, and door failing to fully open or close. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional immediately before operating the door further to prevent complete derailment and possible injury.
