Garage doors are easy to ignore until they stop working, and even good-quality hardware can fail without warning. Don't try to fix a broken door yourself, especially at night; springs and cables are under dangerous tension.

Why It Can't Wait Until Morning

  • Security: a door that won't close leaves your home or business open to intruders.
  • Stuck closed: your car or work van may be trapped inside, or left outside exposed to theft, vandalism and weather.
  • Stuck halfway: you can't get in or out, and a door that suddenly frees itself can injure someone or damage a vehicle.

Broken Springs Are the Usual Culprit

Torsion and extension springs carry the door's weight, often hundreds of pounds. When one breaks, the door can drop, trap a vehicle or come down on a car. Keep everyone clear and call us.

What Happens When You Call

Breakdowns often happen in the evening, when you get home. When you call our emergency line, we:

  1. Ask what's happening and tell you how to keep everyone safe.
  2. Send a technician, often within 2 hours.
  3. Make the door safe and secure, and repair it on the spot whenever we can. Our technicians know all major door and opener brands and carry a large stock of parts.

Prevent the Next Breakdown

Most total failures can be prevented with routine maintenance. A yearly tune-up with our 26-point safety check catches worn springs, cables and rollers before they leave you stuck.
