Match the symptom to the repair

Heavy door or a loud bang

A broken spring can make the door too heavy for the opener. Stop using it until the spring and lifting hardware are checked.

Hanging cable or uneven door

A cable, drum, bracket, or spring problem can leave one side low. Keep clear of the door and do not try to straighten it.

Roller outside the track

An off-track door needs to be secured before the track and hardware are repaired. Repeated opener cycles can worsen the damage.

Door reverses while closing

We check the sensors, obstructions, door movement, and opener settings. We do not bypass the safety system.

Motor runs but the door does not move

The drive system, controls, and door condition all matter. A straining motor does not automatically mean you need a new opener.

Rough or noisy movement

Worn rollers, hinges, loose hardware, or track issues can cause noise. We inspect the moving parts and explain what needs attention.

What happens when you call

  1. Describe the problem. Tell us your town, whether the door is open or closed, and whether a car is trapped. Mention any loud bang, hanging cable, or uneven movement.
  2. Confirm the visit. We discuss urgency and the next available arrival window.
  3. Inspect and estimate. We inspect the door and opener and explain the repair and its cost in a free estimate before work starts.
  4. Repair and check operation. After the agreed work, we check door travel, balance, sensor operation, and the opener safety reversal as appropriate to the repair.

Repair or replacement?

A failed spring, cable, roller, or sensor does not automatically call for a new door. We consider the condition of the panels and hardware, compatible part availability, and the work needed for safe operation. For extensive damage, we can also provide a replacement garage door estimate.

For non-urgent upkeep, see garage door maintenance. If the door cannot safely be left as it is, call now.

Questions before you book

What garage door repairs do you handle?

We repair springs, cables, drums, rollers, tracks, hinges, openers, sensors, remotes, and keypads. We also inspect damaged panels and weather seals and explain whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

Do you give free estimates?

Yes. Call (551) 279-6408, describe the problem, and give us your town. We inspect the door and explain the proposed work in a free estimate before repairs begin.

Can you repair my existing opener instead of replacing it?

Often an opener problem can be diagnosed and repaired, depending on the fault and part availability. We inspect the door, controls, sensors, and drive system before recommending an opener replacement.

When should I stop using the door?

Stop if the door is crooked, off track, unusually heavy, or has a loose or snapped cable. Keep everyone clear, stop running the opener, and call for service.
