A single spring can break with a loud noise and a falling door. Every call concerning a spring for garage door repair Abilene TX is treated the same. We confirm the exact spring size, wire gauge and wind count before providing a quote for replacement springs for a very heavy door. The wrong spring on a heavy door is a disaster waiting to happen. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Most two-spring doors have both springs of the same age and wear. We don’t try to sell both springs, as we have both torsion and extension springs in stock for most residential doors in Abilene. Most spring service calls can be completed in one service call.
Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door exactly where it is and call a technician immediately.
Most of the garage door repair Abilene TX opener calls that we service have similar problems. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner.Read more
The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
The cables connecting the bottom bracket of the door to the drums are subject to a great deal of stress with each opening and closing of the door.Read more
A frayed cable can snap causing the door to fall to one side. A bent or damaged track allows the door to get stuck on the track, to miss the track or for the door to fall off the track. A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Our techs can replace cables and reposition or replace tracks as required on any of the garage door repair Abilene TX visits where parts are found to be at fault. We do not attempt to repair cables that require replacement.
Damaged garage door panels are frequently dented, cracked or even warped after a severe hail storm or auto collision. Older homes in Abilene also suffer from this problem as the original door panels have been exposed to the harsh effects of the sun for 20 years plus. We have a complete stock of replacement garage door panels in a wide variety of standard sizes and door configurations.Read more

Summers in Abilene are very hot. Attached garages can be even hotter than outside temperature for weeks in late June and July and August.Read more
This heat is hard on door hardware, which is why summer brings so many garage door repair Abilene TX calls. Grease can dry out and flake off from the rollers and hinges. Plastic drive gears can soften and strip. Older openers with a logic board can fail randomly. The International Door Association publishes care guidance for doors and openers that helps in this kind of heat. If you have a west facing garage in Abilene this information could be very useful to you. The homes we service here are primarily older ranch style homes built between the 1950’s and 1980’s. Many of the homes have the original hardware on the doors or were upgraded to an early model replacement part within the first few years of the home’s life. Our service techs frequently find that a door had been manually forced open on occasion due to weak springs. When a spring fails, we often find that the door tracks have shifted slightly and become bent. This in turn causes abnormal wear on the parts of the opener. A small garage door repair Abilene TX job caught at a tune-up can turn into a bigger one if the worn parts keep running. As a garage door company Abilene homeowners call for these older houses, we see this pattern every week.

The red release cord is used to disconnect the door from the trolley when the door is closed (never when open or jammed for that matter). The door is resting on the floor when the release cord is pulled. This allows the door to be manually worked with once it has been disconnected from the trolley. If the door will not move by hand once it has been disconnected from the trolley then this is a garage door repair Abilene TX call and must not be forced.
For a two-spring door, the two springs are of about the same age and wear history. Thus when one fails, the other is likely to fail fairly soon as well. As a matter of policy, our techs recommend that both springs be replaced at the same time the repair is made. (It’s already a labor expense, after all.) Later replacing a single spring next to a worn one will typically require a second service call within a year or so. This is just how it is. Not a sales pitch.
We have a real live person answer your phone call 24/7. They answer the call and book you for the first available time slot and advise you of that time. As opposed to us misleading you and saying a truck will be there at 2am when our schedule doesn’t allow for that time.
Yes, it happens often, especially in the worst part of summer. The garage above the garage is an unconditioned space, which means that the temperature in that space can be way above what the garage door opener was designed to open in. Typically the plastic drive gear, the rail grease, and the logic board are the first components to fail. These types of failures are some of the most common summer repairs we see in Abilene. Keep the opener out of the sun and make sure the garage attic is ventilated.
An automatically opening door could be caused by a faulty wall button, a short circuit in the controlling wire, your neighbor playing with an old fixed-code remote control that just happens to be on the same frequency as your control panel, or a failing control board.
