Garage Door Repair in Cave Creek
One of the top repairs for garage doors is a broken spring.
Blocked sensors can also cause trouble opening and closing your garage door. Check to make sure there are no plants, branches, or other items blocking the garage door opener sensor. This can also happen when the antenna is dirty or bent.
There are several ways to tell you have a broken spring:
- Door jerks when moving
- Door won’t open or close
- Mechanism makes loud noises
- Door seems off-track or crooked
- Visible wear and tear on springs
When a spring breaks, it can happen fast. This will make your garage door drop quickly and may cause other damage. To prevent this, we can come replace worn springs before they snap.
Plastic, steel, or nylon rollers that your garage uses to open and close can also prevent garage doors from working. All they might need is some lubrication, but if they are near the end of their useful life, we can replace them.
Your garage door opener can last for over 20 years, but the motor will eventually wear out. It can overheat and stop working.
Your garage door will make a variety of different sounds when something goes wrong. A slapping sound can mean loose chains. A grinding, squealing, or squeaking noise means loose rollers. Vibrating and rattling indicate loose nuts and bolts. Clinking usually means rust buildup. Popping and rumbling indicate loose springs. Banging, straining, scraping, and rubbing are all signs of an alignment issue.
If your garage door is opening slower than usual, it could mean the rollers and tracks are dirty and need cleaning. Cables use the tension from the springs to open your garage door. When they get worn or break, your door may only open halfway or not hang straight.
When you accidentally run into your garage door, it can damage one or more panels. If the damage isn’t too extensive, we can replace the affected panels so you won’t need to replace the whole door.
A safety sensor on your garage door keeps it from closing if something or someone is in the way. If this gets misaligned, it can cause your door to stop when nothing is in the way.
