An off-track door can drop unpredictably, which is a real risk to anything underneath.
Forcing it back without fixing the cause usually means it derails again soon.
Worn rollers, a bent track, or a loose mounting bracket are the most common causes.
It's both a security gap and a safety risk if under tension — we treat these as priority calls.
Minor derailments are often just realigned; significantly warped sections get replaced.
Cost depends on whether it's a simple realignment or requires roller or track replacement.
