Bent, rubbing, out of plumb — trued and tight — across Mount Pleasant, Charleston, Daniel Island, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, North Charleston, James Island, Goose Creek.
Tracks are the door's railroad, and they only get noticed when the train derails: a scrape at the same spot every cycle, a shudder at the curve, a roller riding the track lip, or a door that jams cocked at knee height. Causes here are wonderfully local — a car mirror's love tap, lag screws working loose from a humid framing member, slab settlement in marsh-adjacent soil, or a track slowly pushed out of plumb by years of vibration.
We true tracks with gauges, not eyeballs: correct roller clearance top to bottom, plumb verticals, matched horizontal radius, and anchors reset into sound wood. Sections too creased to trust get replaced rather than persuaded. It's unglamorous millimeter work, and it's the difference between a door that glides for years and one that eats rollers every season.
Lowcountry framing moves — humid summers swell the lumber tracks anchor into, mild winters let it relax, and homes near the marsh add a little honest settlement over the years. Anchors loosen a quarter-turn a season until the track is a suggestion rather than a rail. Add salt pitting on the track face and grit in the curve, and alignment work here is preventive medicine. We re-anchor into sound framing and set clearances to gauge, so the fix holds through the seasons instead of one.
Plumb, gauge and radius measured end to end — and the cause found: impact, settlement, or fatigue.
Truing, re-anchoring, and any section replacement in one approved number.
Rails straightened or replaced, anchors reset into sound wood, spacing set to gauge.
Door cycled end to end, clearances rechecked under load, quiet confirmed.
