Is My Garage Door Racked?

            Prior to my career in the garage door business, I would have had the same look on my face that some of you might have now, if asked this question.  Is my garage door racked? Well let’s break it down, what is a racked door.  Racked is simply garage door lingo for a door that is hanging crooked in the track.  Now if this is what is going on at your house, don’t panic!!!  Also don’t try to move it yourself.  As of this moment your door is inoperable.  This is extremely unstable and could potentially fall out of the track completely.

            A racked door can happen due to old springs.  If the springs are old they can lose tension which will cause slack in your cables.  This causes the weight of the door to not be lifted evenly, resulting in your door falling out of the track.  It is fixable, but you should always contact a highly train professional.
