Why doors come off track in Alpine
In rough order: something hit it, the lag screws worked loose, or a roller bearing seized and dragged. Re-seating is the performance; identifying which of the three happened is the repair.
The holding pattern matters — opener disconnected, door untouched, the space under it kept clear. Each further powered attempt against jammed rollers adds bent steel to the invoice.
Alpine against its neighbours
The measurements shift town by town: Highland sits at 4,922 ft with 102.1 freeze–thaw cycles; Cedar Hills sits at 4,889 ft with 102 freeze–thaw cycles; and American Fork sits at 4,649 ft with 98.5 freeze–thaw cycles.
This page runs on Alpine's numbers (100.1 freeze–thaw cycles, 1997 median build, 5,099 ft of elevation) — close to the neighbours', never identical, which is exactly the point of measuring per city.

How much does off-track door repair cost in Alpine?
Off-track repair in Alpine, UT runs $150 to $350. A clean re-seat sits at the low end; a bent track section adds $60–120.
The door jumped its track — can I just pop it back in?
No. The counterbalance is still under full tension and the door is hanging in a way it was never designed to; hand-forcing it is how sections bend and fingers get caught. Disconnect the opener, freeze the scene, keep everything out from underneath.
