Emergency Garage Door Repair
Doors stuck open, cars shut in and storm-damaged doors, answered at any hour of the day or night.
When a garage door fails at night or in a storm, call us and a person answers, because the door has to be made safe before anything else. We are open 24/7 for doors stuck open with the house exposed, cars trapped behind a jammed door, broken springs and cables, derailed doors, and doors damaged by wind or debris. We secure the door first, then repair what failed.
A few things protect you until we arrive. Do not run the opener or force a door that has a broken spring, because DASMA says such a door should not be operated until the spring is replaced. DASMA also warns that a door can begin to open unexpectedly when the opener's release is pulled, so keep people and vehicles clear of any door that is open, crooked or moving on its own. The truck carries the common springs, cables, rollers and sensors, so most emergencies end with a working door on that visit.
Problems That Cannot Wait
- The door stuck open at night, with the house exposed
- A car trapped behind a door that will not lift
- A bang, then a door that will not move
- A door hanging off its track or crooked
- Wind, debris or impact damage that left the door unsafe
- The opener dead and the door impossible to move
🌊 The Salt and Surge Factor
Hurricane season turns the garage door into the weak point of a house, and storms create many of our emergency calls. The National Hurricane Center counted at least 52,514 structures impacted in Lee County by Hurricane Ian, with 5,369 destroyed, and a door that survived the storm may still have taken surge water or debris. After a storm we secure open or damaged doors first, then replace corroded cables, rollers and brackets; before one, we check spring and cable condition while the work is still routine.
How We Handle an Urgent Call
Answer and book
A person takes the call, asks what the door is doing and books the visit.
Make it safe
A stuck, fallen or exposed door is secured so people and property are protected.
Repair on site
Springs, cables, rollers and sensors carried on the truck resolve most failures in the same visit.
Test before we leave
Balance, auto-reverse and photo-eyes are checked and the door is cycled.
