What we fix

Springs. A broken torsion or extension spring is the most common reason a door won’t lift. We replace springs sized to your door, rebalance it and check the cables and drums while we’re there. Spring repair → Openers. Clicking without moving, reversing for no reason, a dead keypad, a remote that only works from up close: we troubleshoot every major drive type and install new quiet, Wi-Fi-ready openers with battery backup. Opener repair → Cables. A cable that has slipped off its drum leaves the door tilted and unsafe to operate. We replace the cable and square the door again. Cable repair → Off-track doors. If a roller has popped out or a track is bent, stop using the door and call. We’ll realign it before the panels get damaged. Off-track repair → Rollers. Old steel rollers rattle and grind. Sealed nylon rollers make the door glide quietly, which matters when there’s a bedroom above the garage. Roller replacement → New doors. Ready for an upgrade? We install insulated steel, modern glass-and-aluminum and carriage-house-style doors in sizes for one-, two- and three-car garages. Garage door replacement → Gates. Driveway and community gates take a beating from daily use. We repair gate operators, hinges, wheels, sensors and keypads, and we install new swing and sliding gates.

Smart openers, quieter doors and better security

A garage door is often the most-used entrance to a home. A few upgrades make it more convenient and secure:

• Belt-drive openers run much quieter than chain drives. That’s ideal when living space is attached to or above the garage.
• Smartphone connectivity means you can let in a delivery driver or dog walker from anywhere and get an alert if the door stays open.
• Battery backup keeps the door working during a power outage. In California, newly installed residential openers are required to have it.
• Rolling-code keypads and remotes are harder to copy than older fixed-code models.
• Insulated doors help keep a garage gym, workshop or home office comfortable on warm afternoons.

Ask about these during any repair visit. We’ll tell you which ones are worth it for your home.

Garage door safety at home

A garage door is the largest moving object in most houses, and a few habits keep everyone safe:

• Keep remotes out of reach of kids, and teach children never to play under or race a closing door.
• Test the auto-reverse monthly. Lay a piece of wood or a roll of paper towels flat under the door. When the door touches it, it should reverse. If it doesn’t, call us.
• Check the photo-eye sensors. The two small sensors near the floor should face each other with clean lenses and steady lights.
• Keep fingers away from panel joints when closing the door by hand.
• Lock the door when you travel using the opener’s vacation lock or the manual lock.
• Leave spring and cable adjustments to professionals. They’re under enough tension to cause serious injury.

Ask about a safety inspection and tune-up during your next service visit.

What to do while you wait for us

If your door has failed, a few simple steps keep everyone safe:

1. Stop pressing the button. Repeated tries can strip gears or pull a door further off track.
2. Keep people and pets clear of a door that’s crooked, hanging or partially open.
3. Don’t touch springs or cables. They hold dangerous tension even when the door looks stuck.
4. If your car is trapped, tell us when you call so we can make your visit a priority.
5. Note any noises or messages, such as blinking opener lights, that you saw before the failure. They help us diagnose faster.

Frequently asked questions

When can a technician arrive? We dispatch the closest available technician and give you an arrival window when you call. Emergencies are handled around the clock. Should I repair my old opener or replace it? If the motor is healthy and the part is available, repair is often the better value. If the opener is old, noisy, lacks battery backup or needs several parts, a new unit may cost about the same and last longer. We’ll show you both options. Can you match a new door to my HOA’s requirements? Yes. Bring your HOA guidelines, or tell us your community, and we’ll suggest styles and colors that fit. Do you repair community and commercial gates? Yes. We work on residential driveway gates, HOA entry gates and gates for small businesses. Is it safe to open the door by hand with the emergency release? Only when both springs are whole and the door is balanced. With a broken spring, the full weight of the door lands on you the moment you pull the release, so keep it shut and phone us instead.
