That crack at 5 a.m. is a snapped spring in an older Indy home. Don't run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call us now.
Indianapolis winters kill openers in attached garages fast. If the motor hums but nothing moves, the drive gear or logic board may be gone. We carry the parts.
Heavy steel doors in Indy's older bungalows drop hard when they slip. Stay back and keep your car clear. A door off its track is unstable until a tech secures it.
Freeze-thaw cycles split panels and seals on Indianapolis homes every winter. A cracked panel or failed bottom seal lets cold air and pests in. We can replace either or both.
Broken torsion springs or broken extension springs will bring your door crashing down. We replace your broken spring(s) and check your cable drums and other hardware before we leave your premises.
Does your LiftMaster grind or your Chamberlain show an error code? We stock the drive gears, the logic boards and the photo eyes to make most repairs in one visit.
Would you like to upgrade your builder-grade doors or replace an old door or two? We agree to a written figure prior to opening the toolbox.
While repair cost cannot be much less than that of new doors, we outline options such as steel doors and insulated doors, outlining which would work best for your opening and situation.
Annual balance checks, lubrication of all rollers and hinges, spring tension check and safety-reversal test can extend the lifespan of a door by several years.Read more

Property managers who need garage door repair Indianapolis IN on rolling steel or sectional commercial doors can call the same 24/7 hotline as the residential crew. High-cycle hardware and heavy-duty tracks are our specialty.

When a spring breaks, the door will not move at all, or it will fall down.

Our technicians can straighten or replace misaligned sections of track and then re-tension the cables to make sure that both sides of the track are running evenly.
Dented or cracked panels can look unsightly and cause problems. In most cases a single damaged panel can be replaced provided the rest of the door is in good condition.

The city of Indianapolis is known for having very hard freezes in January and very hot temperatures in July.
The metal parts of torsion springs can break from the hard freezes in January. In July, the lubrication can melt out of the rollers and hinges. Once the lubrication has melted out, the bare metal surfaces can start to grind against each other very quickly. The concrete garage floors and door frames are also affected by the freeze-thaw cycle. As the years go by, the concrete can start to shift and cause the garage door frame to pull out of square. This can cause problems with the door tracks over time. Many people mistakenly diagnose these types of problems as being caused by problems with the cables. However, a close measurement of the door frame will reveal the real problem. Garage doors in Indianapolis for homes from the 1920s through the 1960s often are found in single-car detached garages in historic neighborhoods of Indianapolis such as Woodruff Place and Bates-Hendricks. Many of these old wooden garage doors have been retro-fitted with garage door openers. The International Door Association publishes maintenance guidance for older residential doors. However, there are not parts available for some of the oldest garage doors in Indianapolis and therefore even repair would not make sense. For the very oldest of these doors the best option would be to go with a new single garage door model such as that found in garage door replacement Indianapolis IN.
The International Door Association publishes maintenance guidance and safety standards that apply to residential and commercial doors in any climate, and the recommendations for cold-climate markets align with what the crew sees on the ground in Indianapolis.
