What happens next

The office will talk through what your garage door is doing and explain the likely fix and the cost before a technician is sent. We don’t use flat-rate pricing, because the cost depends on what has actually failed. Our service is backed by our One-Year Service Guarantee.

Our office is open Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM. If your garage door fails outside those hours, call 1-800-688-4312 when the office opens.

While you wait

If a spring or cable has broken, stop using the garage door and keep people and pets away from it. Don’t pull the red emergency release cord if the garage door is stuck open, because without a working spring the garage door can drop. If your garage door is stuck with your vehicle inside or your property exposed, tell the office so it knows it is urgent.

Quick checks that can save a service call

If your garage door won’t move, make sure the garage door opener is plugged in and the breaker hasn’t tripped. Try the wall button, and if it works while the remote doesn’t, try a new battery in the remote. Many wall controls also have a lock or vacation button that turns the remotes off, so check that it is off.

If you see a gap in the coil of the spring above the garage door, or a cable hanging loose, skip these checks and call us.

It can be. Springs are under extreme tension, and once one fails the garage door becomes far too heavy to lift safely. Stop using the garage door and call us. Keep people and pets away from it in the meantime.

We strongly recommend against it unless you are trained on torsion springs. The stored tension can cause serious injury. Leave it to a trained technician.

Usually yes. Both springs have done the same amount of work, so the second one has had the same wear as the one that broke. Replacing both at once can save you a second service call.

Often, yes. Individual sections can usually be ordered and replaced on current garage door models. If the garage door is older or several panels are damaged, a new garage door may make more sense.
