Emergency Garage Door Repair
Broken springs, snapped cables, doors stuck open and storm damage, with a person answering at any hour.
A garage door emergency is any failure that leaves a car trapped, the house open or the door unsafe, and it should be handled at once, at any hour. A person answers our phone day and night, and we tell you what is safe to do while the crew is on the way: keep people clear of the door, do not lift a door with a broken spring, and leave a door that is off its track exactly where it is.
The common emergencies are a snapped spring with a car inside, a door stuck open overnight, a cable that slipped, a door driven into or hit by a storm, and an opener that will not release. The truck carries springs, cables, rollers, track sections and opener parts for these failures, so the door is made safe first and, when the part is on the truck, repaired during that visit. Where a part must be ordered, we secure the opening and explain the wait.
When to Call at Night
- A bang, then the door will not open and the car is trapped
- The door is stuck open and the house cannot be locked
- The door came down crooked or off its track
- A vehicle backed into the door or the track
- A storm has dented, bent or blown in the door
- The opener is dead and the release will not free the door
☀️ The North Texas Heat and Hail Factor
Storms set the calendar for emergencies in North Texas. The National Weather Service notes that thunderstorm and severe-weather frequency peaks in spring, with large hail, damaging wind and tornadoes arriving nearly every year in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and it surveyed an EF3 tornado across the northern part of Dallas County on October 20, 2019. Wind pressing on a door that was left open, hail on a door that will not close, and outages that leave an opener dead are the calls we answer most after a storm.
