Broken Torsion Springs These springs support the weight of your door and last roughly 7,9 years with normal use. When one breaks, the door becomes nearly impossible to open manually. We replace them same-day.
Snapped Cables The cables work alongside springs to lift the door. A snapped cable throws the whole system out of balance and can cause the door to jam or fall unevenly. This is a safety hazard.
Stuck or Off-Track Doors Weather, wear, or a minor collision can knock your door off its tracks. We realign it and check for hidden damage before it worsens.
Opener Failure If your remote won't work and the door won't respond, the opener motor might be dead. We diagnose the issue and replace or repair it on the spot.
