What Counts as a Garage Door Emergency?

  • The door is stuck open and your home is not secure.
  • A spring has snapped and the door will not lift.
  • A cable has broken or come off the drum and the door hangs crooked.
  • The door has come off its track or is hanging at an angle.
  • Your car is trapped inside the garage.
  • The door will not stop or reverse when something is in its path.

What to Do Until We Arrive

  • Keep people, children and pets away from the door.
  • Do not try to lift a door with a broken spring or cable. Springs and cables hold serious tension and can cause injury.
  • Stop using the opener if the door is off track, crooked or making grinding noises.
  • If you can do so safely, note what you saw or heard before the door stopped. It helps us diagnose the problem faster.

How Our Emergency Service Works

  • You call and describe the problem. We tell you whether it is safe to leave until a regular appointment or needs a technician now.
  • We inspect the springs, cables, rollers, tracks and opener to find the real cause.
  • You get a written estimate before any work starts.
  • We repair and test the door with a full open-and-close cycle and a safety reverse test.

Emergency Garage Door Repair Questions

Is a broken garage door spring an emergency?

It becomes urgent when the door is stuck open, a vehicle is trapped, or the door is partly open and unsafe. Do not try to lift the door yourself; the remaining spring and cables carry heavy tension.

Can I leave my garage door open overnight?

If the door will not close, your home is less secure. Call us to ask whether a technician should come out now or whether it is safe to wait for a scheduled visit.
