Clear the sand, then true the rail — across Aiken, North Augusta, Graniteville, Clearwater, New Ellenton, Beech Island, Wagener, Belvedere.
Tracks are the door's railroad, and they only get noticed when the train derails: a scrape at the same point every cycle, a shudder at the curve, a roller riding the track lip, a door jammed cocked at knee height. We true tracks with gauges rather than by eye — correct roller clearance top to bottom, plumb verticals, matched horizontal radius, anchors reset into sound material.
Here the first thing we look at is not the rail, it is what is in it. The bottom of a vertical track in the Sandhills collects sand continuously — blown in, tracked in on tyres, washed in off a sandy apron — and a door that cannot seat down square on one side comes back up crooked on the next cycle. Clearing that channel is free, it takes five minutes, and almost nobody does it.
The second local cause is the ground itself. Sandy soil drains fast but it also moves — it settles and washes under a slab edge in a way heavy clay does not, particularly where a downspout or a sandy driveway sheds water at the apron. A garage opening standing on a slab that has settled a fraction pulls its vertical tracks out of plumb with nobody having touched them. We read the floor and the apron as part of the survey rather than adjusting the door and hoping.
Plumb, gauge and radius measured end to end — the track cleared, and the slab and apron read, because here the ground moves.
Truing, re-anchoring and any section replacement in one approved number.
Rails straightened or replaced, anchors reset into sound material, spacing set to gauge.
Door cycled end to end, clearances rechecked under load, quiet confirmed.
