What's wrong with my door?
Match your symptoms below. Each one has a name, a plain-English explanation, and a repair path — no jargon, no guessing.
Broken Torsion Spring
Critical"Door won't open at all, loud bang heard"
The coiled spring above your door snapped. It carries all the weight — without it, the opener motor can't lift the door and will burn out trying.
Snapped Lift Cable
Critical"Door tilts sideways or drops suddenly on one side"
Steel cables run from the bottom corners up to the drum. When one snaps, the door loses balance and can fall. Don't operate it — call now.
Misaligned Track
High"Grinding noise, door sticks or wobbles mid-travel"
The metal rails your door rolls along have shifted or bent. The rollers are jumping the track. Continuing to operate it will cause the door to derail completely.
Stripped Opener Gear
High"Motor runs, nothing moves, grinding from the unit"
Inside your opener's gearbox, a plastic drive gear has worn down. The motor is spinning but can't engage. Opener works, door doesn't — clean swap fix.
Safety Sensor Fault
Medium"Door reverses immediately after closing, light blinks"
Two sensors near the floor create an invisible beam. If they're misaligned, dirty, or blocked, the door thinks something is in the way and won't close. Usually a 10-minute fix.

10-minute diagnosis
The tech inspects the door, opener, tracks, and hardware. They identify the root cause — not just the symptom — and check for any secondary issues before quoting.
Upfront quote — you approve it
You get a flat-rate price before a single wrench turns. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice. No "diagnostic fees" added at the end.
Repair completed
Most jobs take 30–60 minutes once parts are in hand. The tech tests the door through five full cycles before packing up — open, close, auto-reverse, manual release, and remote sync.

Every repair is backed by a written 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. If anything we touched fails within 90 days, we come back at no charge. Period.
