Frequently Asked Questions

A broken spring often makes it difficult or impossible to open your garage door. You may also hear a loud snap when it breaks or notice the door feels unusually heavy. If you suspect a broken spring, avoid using the door and call a professional right away.

While minor tasks like lubricating hinges or tightening screws can be done at home, most garage door repairs—especially springs, cables, and openers—require professional expertise. DIY repairs can be dangerous and may cause further damage.

Experts recommend professional maintenance at least once a year. Regular tune-ups can extend the life of your door, prevent sudden breakdowns, and ensure safe operation.

 Noises like grinding, squeaking, or rattling can mean your rollers, hinges, or tracks need lubrication, adjustment, or replacement. A professional inspection can quickly identify and fix the issue.

First, check the remote batteries and make sure nothing is blocking the sensors. If the problem continues, it may be due to a broken spring, misaligned track, or opener malfunction—situations best handled by a technician.

 A standard garage door installation typically takes a few hours to complete. The exact time depends on the type of door, opener system, and whether any old parts need to be removed.
