Is there a charge to come out?
Many providers charge a trip fee, often included if you go ahead. Ask the provider about it when you call.
How do I know my spring is broken?
A loud bang, a gap in the coil above the door and a very heavy door are the classic signs. See spring repair.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
No. Springs can cause serious injury. Always use a trained technician.
Why do springs break in winter?
Cold makes steel brittle and springs work harder. See our winter prep guide.
Why does my opener hum but not open the door?
Usually a stripped gear, broken spring or locked door. See opener repair.
Why is my opener light blinking?
Usually blocked or misaligned sensors. See sensor repair.
My car is trapped. What do I do?
If springs are intact, pull the red cord and lift by hand. If a spring is broken, call for 24/7 emergency repair.
My door is crooked. Is it dangerous?
Yes. Stop using it and see off-track repair.
My door is frozen shut. What should I do?
Do not force it with the opener. Gently free the seal, then call if it still will not move.
How do I test the auto-reverse?
Put a roll of paper towels under the door and close it. It should reverse on contact.
How often should I maintain my garage door?
Twice a year. See our maintenance checklist.
