Do it Yourself: Re: [DIY] Garage door track removal

My door of similar, if not exact design, has zero tension on any component of the door pieces and
door sections and track pieces when fully closed.

If you are concerned I would screw a 1x2" stringer on all of the door pieces with self tapping metal screws
so the wood keeps all the door sections together...but as I was assembling and installing the door
by myself the door sections were benign as I stacked them and hinged together.

The only thing I worried about (absolutely terrifying if the full story be known) was winding the torsion
springs with my drill motor....but many years now everything is still working ok...

I did put 4 vertical pieces of 2x4 to strengthen each door section against our mountain winds...

I have
broken a plastic hinge on my double wide
garage door and
it appears that I will have to remove one
side of the
track in order to replace the hnge.

If I
close the door and wiggle the straight
section of
vertical track off of one side of the door,
is the door
going to stay put or will it attempt to
leave the
building?
