If your door is making strange noises, not closing or opening properly, or you’re just worried for the safety of your family or employees, it’s time to call on our professionals. We understand
that when it comes to garage doors, safety comes first. So, if you’re worried about the state of your door, you should investigate further and then contact one of our garage door experts. The good news is most of the time it can be repaired, rather than replaced. But you should act as soon as possible, because even the most minor issues can quickly become big problems.
When it comes to issues with your electric door opener, often times the problem can be solved with simple repairs. For example, the door closes a couple of inches but then opens again. The most likely cause is a misalignment of the photo eye units on the safety reversing system. This is easy to verify, and you should be able to see if one of the units has been moved. If not, the wire joining the two units might have been severed. If it’s the latter, call us right away. Additionally, if your door is jerking or vibrating when opening, you’re definitely in need of repair. This sounds like your door opener is having trouble lifting the door, which means one of the lifting cables is likely broken or very damaged. To verify, look at the vertical tracks on either side of the garage door. If that’s not the case, a roller might be broken or have come off its track. Either way, give us a call.

Garage Door Repair
Other repairs may be necessary is your door is making loud noises or opening and closing very slowly. Most garage doors come on steel tracks, or commercial grade tracks for larger doors. If you’re hearing a loud noise when the doors opening, it’s likely that one of these tracks is damaged, perhaps bent or twisted from a collision. If the door opener is working harder than normal one of the springs is probably broken or has lost tension. To check, pull the emergency release cord and try and open the door manually. Remember that garage doors are calibrated to have a perceived weight of no more than 10 lbs., you should be able to lift it easily one-handed. If you can’t, you’ve got a problem and need the broken system replacing.
Garage Door Installation
Now, let’s talk about when garage door replacements and installations are needed. If you take good care of your garage door it can last for generations, as long as you regularly maintain it, including lubricating all moving parts at least twice a year, you shouldn’t have any problems. But there are some issues that can arise that unfortunately cannot be repaired. If you live in a cold climate, your garage door is literally put through the wringer, and unless you have a heated, well-insulated garage and heavy-duty hardware, rust is likely to develop over time. If this is the case and you have rusty garage door components, you’ll need to replace it. Additionally, If one of the garage door sections is badly damaged, you may need to replace the entire door. It all depends on how damaged the section is, but a severely damaged door section can lead to other issues, including rust.
