When the clay moves, the opening moves — across Southlake, Colleyville, Grapevine, Keller, Trophy Club, Westlake, Roanoke, Coppell.
Tracks are the door's railroad, and they only get noticed when the train derails: a scrape at the same point every cycle, a shudder at the curve, a roller riding the track lip, a door jammed cocked at knee height. We true tracks with gauges rather than by eye — correct roller clearance top to bottom, plumb verticals, matched horizontal radius, anchors reset into sound material.
In North Texas the cause is almost always under your feet. The expansive clay these towns sit on swells when it rains and shrinks in drought, and it moves slabs and foundations enough to be a well-known regional issue for houses generally. A garage opening is a wide hole in a wall standing on that slab, so when the ground moves the opening racks and the vertical tracks go out of plumb. Diagnosing a door without reading the floor is how a repair comes back.
A useful thing to know: if a door problem here is seasonal — fine in spring, binding by late summer, fine again after the autumn rain — that is clay movement, not a worn part. Chasing it with adjustments each time is treating the symptom. We say so plainly, set the door up to tolerate the range of movement rather than one position, and tell the homeowner when the honest next step is a foundation opinion rather than another door visit.
Plumb, gauge and radius measured end to end — and the slab and apron read, because in this soil the floor is part of the problem.
Truing, re-anchoring and any section replacement in one approved number.
Rails straightened or replaced, anchors reset into sound material, spacing set to gauge.
Door cycled end to end, clearances rechecked under load, quiet confirmed.
