Yes, when a technician is available. Broken springs, snapped cables and doors stuck open are treated as priority calls, because a door that won't close leaves your home unsecured. Call (833) 435-8883 early in the day for the best chance of same-day service.

Stop using the door and don't try to lift it by hand or with the opener. A broken spring means the door's full weight, often 130 to 250 pounds or more, is no longer counterbalanced. Keep people and pets clear, leave the door closed if you can, and call a technician.

We don't recommend it. Torsion springs are wound under high tension and can cause serious injuries if a winding bar slips or the wrong spring is installed. A technician sizes the spring to your door's weight and height, installs it with proper winding bars and checks the balance afterwards.

The most common causes are misaligned or dirty photo-eye sensors, something in the door's path, a close-force or travel-limit setting that needs adjusting, or a door that has become too heavy because of a weak spring. Clean the sensor lenses and check that both indicator lights are steady. If it still reverses, call (833) 435-8883.

Standard torsion springs are rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles, roughly 7 to 10 years for a household that uses the door 3 to 4 times a day. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000 cycles or more are available and are worth it if you use the garage as your main entrance.

Repair it if the fix costs less than about half the price of a new door and the door is structurally sound. Consider replacing it if several panels are damaged, the door is more than 15 to 20 years old and needs major work, or you want better insulation or curb appeal. We'll give you honest prices for both options.

We service all major brands, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Linear and Marantec openers and Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, Raynor and Overhead Door garage doors, along with most older and builder-grade doors.

Yes. We work on commercial sectional doors, rolling steel doors, roll-up storage doors, loading dock doors and commercial door operators. Rolling fire doors can also be drop-tested and inspected for the annual testing required by NFPA 80.

Have a professional tune-up about once a year. Between visits, look over the springs and cables monthly and test the auto-reverse by closing the door on a roll of paper towels or a piece of wood. The door should reverse as soon as it touches the object.
