24/7 Emergency Garage Door Repair Services
Garage doors are designed for quick, automatic operation. While they may seem easy to open manually when functioning properly, they are in fact quite heavy and require professional attention to ensure safe and reliable performance.
If your garage door gets stuck while opening or closing, it’s best to leave it as is and avoid trying to open or close it repeatedly.
This could be a sign that one of the springs or cables has come loose or broken, making the door significantly heavier than usual. In this state, the garage door opener may not be able to handle the weight, especially in the case of double garage doors.
Do not attempt to disconnect the door from the opener for manual operation.
If the door is stuck halfway open, forcing it could lead to further damage or personal injury. Instead, we strongly recommend contacting a professional garage door technician who can safely close the door and replace the faulty part.

Garage Door Opener Repair
Garage Door Opener Running but Door Not Moving?
If your garage door opener is running but the door doesn’t open or close, the issue may be a broken internal gear, often made of plastic. In many cases, you don’t need to replace the entire opener; replacing just the gear may solve the problem.
However, it’s important to identify what caused the gear to wear out in the first place.
Common causes include:
- Unbalanced or incorrectly tensioned springs, making the door too heavy to lift
- A broken cable on one side of the door
- A loose or jammed component in the door mechanism
Proper adjustments are essential.
Whether repairing or replacing the opener, several fine-tuning steps must be done to ensure smooth, long-lasting operation. This is why we strongly recommend hiring a professional technician for opener repairs or new garage door opener installations.
Lost or non-working remote?
In most cases, garage door remotes can be reprogrammed easily by following simple instructions you can find online, no need to call a technician for lost garage door remote controls.
Broken Garage Door Springs
The Role of Garage Door Springs
Garage door springs are designed to make the door easy to operate by counterbalancing its weight. Each door is fitted with springs that are carefully selected based on the door’s size and weight, allowing the opener to lift and lower the door with minimal effort. Thanks to the springs, even large and heavy doors can be operated by a relatively small motor.
Important Safety Notice:
Garage door springs are under high tension and can be extremely dangerous to handle. Attempting to repair or replace them on your own can result in serious injury. For your safety, always leave spring repairs and replacements to a trained professional.
Snapped Garage Door Cables
Your garage door is supported by two lift cables, one on each side, that help carry the weight of the door as it opens and closes. Over time, these cables can wear out or snap, especially if the door is unbalanced or if the springs are not properly supporting the door’s weight.
If you notice a broken or loose cable, do not attempt to operate the door manually or with the opener.
A damaged cable can cause the door to come off track, become misaligned, or even fall, creating a serious safety risk.
The best course of action is to call a professional technician who can safely lower the door and perform the necessary repairs.
Garage Door Installation Services
Installing a new garage door is more than just picking a style, it’s about proper installation and attention to detail. A well-installed door will operate smoothly and quietly for years to come.
If you’re considering replacing your garage door, we’d be happy to offer a wide selection of designs and models to fit your needs and budget.
Our recommendation: choose insulated panels.
Insulated garage doors offer more than just improved energy efficiency and better temperature control, they’re also stronger, more durable, and far more resistant to dents and damage than non-insulated panels. In the long run, they provide better performance and longevity.
