Frequently Asked Questions – Garage Door Repairs
Garage Door Won’t Open
If your garage door refuses to open, it’s usually caused by a broken spring, faulty opener, or disconnected cables. This is one of the most common emergency repair calls we receive. Whether it’s early morning or late at night, our expert technicians can diagnose the problem fast and get your door working again.
Common causes:
-
Broken torsion or extension spring
-
Snapped or frayed lifting cable
-
Stripped gear inside the opener
-
Disconnected emergency release cord
-
Power outage (manual override required)
Garage Door Won’t Close
This is often caused by sensor issues or a problem with your opener’s limit settings. If your garage door closes and then immediately reopens, or won’t respond to the remote, call us for fast diagnostics and a proper fix.
Common causes:
-
Misaligned or dirty photo-eye sensors
-
Dead remote batteries
-
Incorrect opener limit settings
-
Broken gear or track obstruction
Broken Garage Door Spring
Springs are under extreme tension and are the main lifting force of your door. When a spring breaks, your door won’t function properly and could damage your opener if forced.
Signs of a broken spring:
-
Loud bang from garage
-
Door drops quickly or feels heavy
-
One side lifts higher than the other
-
Loose or hanging cables
We carry a wide range of spring sizes to ensure correct replacement on-site — usually within an hour.
Snapped Garage Door Cable
Cables lift the door evenly. If one snaps, the door lifts unevenly or jams. Trying to use it can cause serious damage or injury.
Look out for:
-
Frayed or loose wires
-
Door tilted to one side
-
Grinding or dragging sounds
Stop using your door if you suspect a cable issue. We’ll replace both cables and realign the system safely.
Garage Door Opener Repairs
We repair all major brands including Centurion, Gemini, and ET. If your motor runs but the chain doesn’t move, it’s likely a stripped gear — a common, affordable fix.
We repair:
-
Motors that run but don’t move the door
-
Remote/intermittent issues
-
Clicking openers or flashing lights
-
Faulty emergency release cords
Track or Roller Problems
Bent tracks or broken rollers can stop your door from opening or closing properly. This puts strain on your opener and could cause further damage.
Warning signs:
-
Door stuck halfway
-
Track visibly bent or misaligned
-
Rollers jumping off track or getting stuck
We realign tracks and replace damaged rollers to restore smooth operation.
Sensor & Limit Setting Adjustments
If your garage door won’t close, it may think something’s in the way. This is usually a sensor or limit setting issue.
Symptoms:
-
Blinking sensor lights
-
Door touches ground then reverses
-
Door won’t move via remote
We’ll align sensors, clean lenses, check connections, and adjust your motor’s settings so everything works smoothly again.
