One of the track wheels popped out of the track and the door got wedged a little.

I'd like to figure out how it jumped the track, and if it bent anything?
I have a 9' and the track is 9'1" inside to inside.
The track wheels are 9' 2&1/2" outside to outside

It was all built before I bought the house and the original installation papers are long gone.
Would anyone be willing to measure their door and see if the track is supposed to be about this much wider than the door?

Hello shipmate, I had this happen from time to time in our old house. I just popped it all back together and kept on truckin' I did find that the track had a slight bend in it, that allowed the wheel to slip out. Upon further investigation, i also found that the springs were pulling asymmetrically, and adjusted them to pull equally. Problem solved.
