front roller keeps falling out of automatic garage door
I've popped it back in a couple of times but upon further inspection
it seems that the metal guide is slightly pushed out. I've tried to take a large wrench and clamp it but it's just too rigid a metal to bend. Is there any way I can close the guide enough to keep the roller from popping out? |

If you can't bend the guide rail "manually" as you've tried, perhaps you should call a garage door repair company. Something may be so out of alignment that it's become a danger. Garage doors are extremely heavy and you don't want to mess with them unless you are very sure of what you are doing. I have called a local family owned business in my town 3 times in 20 years and each time have been surprised at how reasonable the cost of the repair was. |

They sometimes come loose from their mounting points and allow the tracks to get out of alignment and the rollers fall out and/or jam. ----- - gpsman |
