How to Make Perpendicular Garage Door Horizontal Tracks
Garage doors use vertical and horizontal tracks to guide their movement. In some cases, converting perpendicular garage door tracks to horizontal is necessary to improve functionality, optimize space, or support an automatic opener. Horizontal tracks provide smoother operation, better space efficiency, and enhanced safety.
To make the switch, first, gather tools like a wrench, power drill, level, and track brackets. Start by closing the door, removing the perpendicular tracks, and marking the new horizontal track position. Install and align the horizontal tracks securely, ensuring a smooth connection with vertical sections. Tighten all connections, test the door manually, and reconnect the opener if needed.
If issues arise, check for misalignment, adjust the tracks, and lubricate rollers. Proper installation and maintenance ensure a long-lasting, efficient garage door system. Consider professional help if needed.
