Why doors come off track in Tooele
Impacts, loosened lag screws, and worn rollers, in that order. The re-seat is the visible work; the diagnosis — why this door, why now — is what prevents the repeat call.
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.

How much does off-track door repair cost in Tooele?
Off-track repair in Tooele, 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.
