Garage Door Repair in Langley

Openers made since 1993 have infrared photo-eye sensors that reverse the door if something blocks the beam. Brooms, hockey sticks, garden tools or even a spider web can block it. Misaligned sensors make the door reverse immediately or half-way down. Check that both sensor lights are steady; if one is off or blinking, the sensors need realigning.

Most often a broken torsion or extension spring. If the opener makes no sound, pull the red emergency release and lift the door by hand: if it's light, the problem is the opener (check the outlet and breaker first); if it's very heavy, the springs need a technician — don't keep trying.

Steel door sections have a joint profile unique to each manufacturer, and designs change every 5–10 years. If your door is more than about 10 years old, matching sections may no longer exist, and replacing the whole door is often the better value. Damaged wood doors usually need a carpenter's repair or a new door.

Only if you're trained. Springs counterbalance doors that often weigh 300 lb or more; torsion springs store enormous torque and extension springs a lot of energy. People are injured every year trying.
