Track alignment involves adjusting the horizontal and vertical tracks, typically made of 14-gauge steel, to ensure proper alignment with the door's rollers and the opener's carriage. This process requires careful measurement and adjustment to ensure smooth and safe operation. The tracks' radius, usually ranging from 10 to 15 inches, is also an important consideration.
