Learn moreStart with what you can see and hear
Most problems leave clues before anyone picks up a tool. A blinking light on the opener or a safety sensor often goes with a door that won't close. A gap between the coils of the spring above the door means a broken spring, and our page on the warning signs covers the rest. What the door did just before it stopped, a bang, a grinding sound or a hum, helps us on the phone as well.
When to stop reading and call
Stop and call if you heard a bang, if a cable is hanging, if the door sits crooked, or if it is stuck partway. Springs, lift cables and the bottom brackets that anchor them hold heavy tension, and none of these guides asks you to adjust them. Call (786) 349-6912, or describe the problem on our booking page and we call you back.
Your question isn't here?
Ask us. A door can act up in ways no guide covers, and a short call usually narrows it down. For a broader look at what we fix, start with garage door repair; if you are weighing a new door, read Repair or replace? first.
