When you book garage door track repair in Tekamah, you get a tech who knows Burt County — Burt County is part of Nebraska. We serve Tekamah and the surrounding area and nearby Oakland, Blair, Arlington, and Fort Calhoun every day.
Tekamah sits in Nebraska's continental-climate region — four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes. That puts real stress on garage door hardware: we routinely see freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, and we fit parts rated to handle it.
From Tekamah and the surrounding area, the issues Tekamah customers describe are typically rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. We quote flat-rate, fix it in one trip, and back the work for 10 years.
Track repair covers the rails that guide the door's rollers from closed to fully open. Tracks bend from vehicle impact, twist from heavy door weight on under-spec rails, separate from masonry as anchors loosen, and rust from coastal exposure. A door with a damaged track doesn't roll smoothly — it binds, jumps the rail, or stops short. Track repair re-straightens, re-anchors, and where necessary replaces the bent section so the door tracks straight again.
We use a laser alignment tool to verify the track sits parallel to its mate within tolerance. Eyeballing tracks for plumb is unreliable; the laser catches twist and tilt that the eye misses. After alignment, brackets are re-anchored to manufacturer torque spec — under-torqued brackets are a slow-motion failure waiting to happen.
Bent sections that can't be straightened are replaced from stock. We carry 2-inch and 3-inch tracks in galvanized steel and the bracket families for the major door brands. Most track repairs are completed in 60–90 minutes. Severely damaged tracks from major impact may require partial track replacement and a roller inspection (impact often damages the rollers and panel mounts simultaneously).
Roller comes out of the channel mid-travel. Stop using the door — the next cycle could leave the door off-track entirely.
Visible bend or kink in the track
Vehicle impact, ladder strike, or shelf collapse against the track all cause visible bends. Repair before continued operation.
Door makes scraping or grinding sound
Track misalignment or roller bind causes audible scraping. Often easy to fix in the early stage; expensive to fix after the rollers also damage.
Track separating from wall
Brackets pulling loose from masonry or framing show as gaps between the track and the wall. Re-anchor before track shifts further.
Door uneven side-to-side
If one side of the door is higher than the other when fully closed, one track may have settled or shifted.
Common causes & what we fix
Vehicle impact
Backing into the door or sliding the car into the open track is the most common cause of bent rails. Often comes with associated panel damage.
Bracket anchor failure
Anchors pull from masonry or framing over years of cycle vibration. Re-anchoring to fresh holes restores hold.
Rust through
Coastal corrosion eats through track bottom where water pools. Replacement section with galvanized track stops the progression.
Under-spec track for door weight
Builder installs occasionally pair light-gauge track with heavy doors. The track flexes over time and develops bend.
Settling building
Foundation movement shifts walls and the brackets that anchor to them. Tracks twist as a result.

Frequently asked about garage door track repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Track Repair near me ask us:
How does the climate in Tekamah, NE affect my garage door?
Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Tekamah: with four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing and freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, road salt and snowmelt that corrode the lowest hardware, and cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, the common failure modes are rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, warped or sagging panels after years of freeze-thaw, and openers straining against cold-thickened grease. Our Tekamah trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
Which Tekamah neighborhoods and ZIP codes do you serve?
We cover Tekamah and the surrounding area — including ZIPs 68061. If you are anywhere in Tekamah, you are in our service area — call (213) 221-2882 and we will confirm the next available window.
Are galvanized tracks worth the upgrade?
In coastal zones — yes, almost always. Inland — standard tracks are fine. We default to galvanized within 5 miles of the coast.
Should I replace tracks during a door replacement?
Yes — new doors should always be paired with new tracks and brackets. Reusing old tracks is a false economy that limits the new door's life.
Can a bent track be straightened?
Sometimes — mild bends in galvanized steel can be re-straightened with a track-press tool. Severe bends, kinks, and corroded sections need replacement.
How long does track repair take?
Most jobs: 60–90 minutes. Full track replacement (rare): 2–3 hours. Includes alignment verification and a balance test.
