FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Why did my garage door suddenly stop working?

    A sudden malfunction can happen for various reasons. Broken springs, snapped cables, worn-out rollers, or sensor misalignment are often the culprits. Electrical issues like a malfunctioning opener or a blown fuse can also stop your garage door. If your garage door doesn’t respond to remote controls or wall buttons, check for power supply issues. For persistent problems, it's best to call a professional for a thorough inspection and repair.

  • How can I tell if my garage door springs are broken?

    Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can break without warning. Signs of a broken spring include a loud bang, the door opening unevenly, or failing to open at all. You may also notice gaps in the spring or a visible break. Attempting to lift a door with broken springs is dangerous and can cause injury. Professional repair is recommended to ensure your door is safely balanced and operational.

  • What are the risks of delaying garage door repairs?

    Postponing repairs can lead to greater damage and higher costs. A malfunctioning door may strain other components like cables, rollers, and tracks. It can also pose safety hazards, especially if a spring or cable snaps. Additionally, a broken garage door compromises your home’s security, making it easier for intruders to gain access. Timely repairs ensure safety, security, and longer-lasting door performance.

  • Why is my garage door making loud noises?

    Noisy garage doors often indicate issues with rollers, springs, or the opener. Grinding, squeaking, or rattling sounds can result from lack of lubrication, misaligned tracks, or worn-out parts. Regular maintenance can prevent these noises. Apply garage door lubricant to the tracks, hinges, and rollers. If the noise persists, a professional inspection will identify any underlying issues that may require repair or replacement.

  • How often should I schedule maintenance for my garage door?

    It’s recommended to have a professional maintenance check at least once a year. During a service visit, technicians inspect springs, cables, rollers, and tracks for signs of wear. They also lubricate moving parts, test safety sensors, and ensure proper balance and alignment. Preventive maintenance can catch small issues before they become costly repairs, extending the life of your garage door.

  • What should I do if my garage door won’t close all the way?

    If your garage door refuses to close, first check for obstructions along the track or under the door. Misaligned safety sensors are a common issue — ensure they’re clean and properly aligned. A blinking sensor light usually indicates a problem. If the door still won't close, it could be a problem with the tracks, opener, or limit settings. Our technicians can diagnose and fix the issue promptly.

  • Are garage door openers universal? Can I install any opener on my garage door?

    Not all openers are universal. Garage doors vary in weight, size, and material, requiring compatible openers. Chain-drive, belt-drive, and screw-drive openers each offer unique benefits. For example, belt drives are quieter, while chain drives are more affordable. Our team can recommend and install the right opener for your specific garage door, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.

  • What are some hidden benefits of upgrading my garage door?

    Beyond improved aesthetics, a new garage door can enhance your home’s security, energy efficiency, and property value. Many modern doors offer insulated panels that reduce energy loss and maintain a stable indoor temperature. Upgraded openers may feature smart technology, allowing you to monitor and control your door remotely. Additionally, new doors with reinforced materials provide better protection against intrusions and extreme weather.

  • What are the signs that I need a garage door replacement instead of a repair?

    If your garage door has frequent breakdowns, visible damage, or outdated technology, a replacement may be more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Other signs include excessive noise, sagging sections, and poor insulation. Additionally, if your door lacks modern safety features like auto-reverse sensors, upgrading can improve your family's safety. Our team can assess your door’s condition and recommend the best solution.

  • Can I repair my garage door myself?

    While minor tasks like lubrication or sensor cleaning can be DIY-friendly, most garage door repairs require professional expertise. Springs and cables are under high tension and can cause severe injuries if handled improperly. Incorrect repairs may also lead to further damage, increasing repair costs. For your safety, we recommend leaving tasks like spring replacement, track adjustment, or opener repair to certified professionals.
