Garage Door Repair

Broken Garage Door Spring

A broken garage door spring means your garage door won’t open. Since door springs typically last 10,000 cycles of opening your garage door, most homeowners will get about 6 – 12 years out of a garage door spring, depending on how often they open their garage door. There are two typical types of springs: extension springs and torsion springs. Extension springs will be located on each side of your garage door. If you have a torsion spring, there will be one above your garage door in the middle.

Each of these springs works on a counterbalance system. This means that they do all the heavy lifting and carry a lot of tension. If a spring breaks, it typically makes a loud noise similar to a gunshot. Most people know they have a broken garage door spring because of that noise in combination with the door not opening. However, there is no need to worry; we can perform a garage door spring replacement near West Haven or North Haven with fast service!

Garage Door Cable Replacement

Garage door cables are located on either side of your garage door, running through cable drums and clipping to the door’s bottom brackets. They work closely with your springs to create a counterbalance system for your door. Because garage door cables help hold a significant amount of the door’s weight, loose or broken cables will often prevent your garage door from opening. A garage door cable can become frayed and break over time or become loose from poorly balanced springs. In either case, our garage door repair professionals can help!

We can perform a garage door cable repair or reattach your cables to the drum and get your overhead door working again quickly. As with attempting to repair any broken garage door parts, you have to be careful when handling a door with a broken or loose cable. Do not risk accidental injury to yourself or a family member. Instead, contact us to schedule an appointment with us for garage door cable repair or replacement near you! Also, schedule garage door repair if you’re not sure if garage door cable repair is the issue with your garage door. 

Garage Door Out of Track

Garage doors fall out of track often. This mishap is typically due to either a fallen roller or loose cables on one or both sides. A trained professional, in many cases, can put the door back and get it running again without damaging the door. Keep in mind that the garage door is the biggest, heaviest moving part of your home, so please be careful walking around or under a door that is out of track.

Instead of risking damage to yourself, your car, or further damage to your garage door system, contact us for garage door repair near you! Our garage door repair professionals can get your garage door up and running again quickly to ensure your family’s safety and the future reliability of your garage door with our local garage door services. 

Broken Garage Door Opener

Garage door opener repair is a common service we perform for our customers. Your opener is the motor that does most of the heavy lifting to open and close your door. It will be located either in the middle of your garage on the ceiling or on the wall beside your door, depending on the type of opener. When you have a broken garage door opener, you will most likely be able to lift your door manually even though the keypad or clicker won’t open the door.

You will be able to open the door manually because your springs, cables, and roller should still be intact and balance the weight of the door. Of course, you should be careful when manually opening your door and stop immediately if you feel too much resistance or weight. To get your garage door opener working again, contact us to schedule an appointment with one of our experienced technicians for garage door opener repair in West Haven or North Haven, CT. We will do our best to get your opener functioning again. If your opener is too worn to repair or if replacement parts can’t be found, we can also offer you a new garage door opener.

Damaged Sections

Horizontal sections connected by hinges are the parts that make up garage doors. Accidentally backing into the garage door or uneven weight from a worn-out spring can cause your sections to be damaged. This involves denting or warping, which will stop the door from opening completely. Fortunately, in many cases, we can perform a garage door panel replacement if the original manufacturer is still making that model with our garage door repair service.

However, if there are multiple sections to your door, several damaged components, or parts on the door are toward the end of their life cycle, you may want to consider a garage door replacement.

Garage Door Roller Replacement

Inside the tracks that run along the sides of your garage door, you will have rollers. These allow your door to come up and down smoothly. However, these can pop out of their tracks when you have damaged sections or an unbalanced door. You will know your rollers are out of track because you will be able to see the wheels stuck outside the track. This will prevent your door from opening and could damage sections of your door if you try to open the door manually.

To fix this issue, one of our technicians can reset the roller into the track and perform a maintenance check to see what caused the roller to pop out. If your rollers have not popped out of place, but you have noticed noisy operation, then you may need roller replacement. Like all garage door parts, rollers have a standard lifespan of 10-15,000 cycles which means you will need roller replacement every 10-20 years. We will replace your current rollers with a high-quality product to ensure the long-term functionality of your garage door system.
