Most garage door repair Denver CO calls in the city are for broken springs and openers, and we stock most of those parts on our trucks. We are available to take your call on (720) 208-1842.
We’ll get back to you shortly.
Upon our arrival at your home our technician shall conduct an on-site inspection of all the doors affected. Subsequently, we will outline all the associated repair costs for your approval prior to commencing work. This is what happens during our garage door repair Denver CO service call.
The torsion and extension springs can break without warning and put you and others at risk of serious injury. We stock a wide variety of spring sizes that are commonly found on homes in Denver area neighborhoods. Most broken springs are replaced in one visit.
A grinding LiftMaster or a Chamberlain that reverses for no reason are among our most common repairs. The fix can be as simple as replacing the drive gear, swapping the logic board, or even going for a complete garage door unit replacement.
Cables slowly deteriorate until they break. A broken cable causes the door to be left in an odd position until worn cables are replaced and the corresponding drums reset.
A door that has jumped its rail can be quite heavy and unpredictable until it has been adjusted by our techs to reset the rollers, straighten the track and check all brackets.
Hail, a car bumper, or just years of Colorado temperature swings crack and dent panels. We match the section and replace it so the door seals and operates correctly.
We replace your door and set up the opener, springs and hardware to work effectively when we find a door is beyond cost effective repair. Each garage door repair Denver CO estimate is honestly made to advise if we consider a repair would be cost effective or a full door swap would be better for you.
A torsion spring is a spring that is mounted on a door track above a door.
Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician.
Don’t be that guy! Forcing an opener against a broken spring can cause serious damage to the drive gear and even crack your door panels. Our technicians see the secondary damage that can occur from this type of behavior on a regular basis.
Stop using the door and call us.
LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman openers are the brands our techs see most. Opener repair is one of the cleaner garage door repair Denver CO jobs because the parts are modular and our trucks carry the common ones.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
This rule matters most when an opener fails and someone tries to run the door by hand. If the door is partway up, leave the cord alone and call us.
These cables run from the bottom bracket of the door up to the end drums of the torsion bar. They fray from the inside out, so sometimes it’s not obvious that a strand has split until it snaps. If a single cable breaks on one side of the door, it will drop down and get jammed in the door track.
We replace the two cables of a pair, re-rotate the end drums and check that the door is running correctly on 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.
Wind and the odd thrown stone do some damage, but hail is the big weather threat to Denver doors. As such, we take careful stock of cosmetic damage versus more severe structural types. Occasionally a severely dented door panel must be replaced, but most such panels can be matched to existing door sections as necessary, and we work to inform our customers as to point of diminishing return on repair versus full door replacement.
Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
If in the end it’s just a loose hinge or a bolt that needs to be tightened, we’ll let you know.

When you live in Denver, garage doors are subject to a wide range of temperatures. While the temperatures may be mild in January, they can soar above 90 degrees for weeks on end in late summer and early fall. And because of the high elevation in Denver, the sun beats down on garage doors, causing lubricating grease to evaporate from rollers and hinges in a flash. As a result, in non-coastal areas like Denver, garage door spring life can be reduced due to the extreme amount of thermal cycling that occurs in a single year. And by the time the first hard freeze of winter arrives, torsion springs typically have gone through a full cycle of thermal expansion and contraction over the course of the summer and fall. It’s not uncommon for late-summer to early-winter failures to occur. Refer to International Door Association for required maintenance that should be performed prior to winter.
The older housing stock here makes it worse. A lot of Denver’s residential neighborhoods east of I-225, including Montbello, Green Valley Ranch, and the newer builds nearby, went up in the late 1990s and 2000s with standard builder-grade torsion spring setups. Those doors are now 20-plus years into their cycle life. Our techs see the pattern constantly: the spring that’s been tensioned the same way since 2001 finally lets go on a cold Tuesday morning, and the opener that’s been compensating for a weakening spring for two years goes with it. Booking garage door repair Denver CO before that happens saves you a second breakdown.

Even though the springs have broken, there is no need to touch the door before your technician arrives. A door with broken springs can be very unbalanced and potentially cause damage to the opener’s drive gear or even crack your door’s panels. Also, please refrain from trying to lift the door manually. The best thing to do is to keep a safe distance from the door until your technician has secured it for you.
On a two-spring door, both springs have the same age and wear history. Typically if one snaps, the other will fail very soon afterwards. We recommend replacing both springs at the same time, because the second spring is usually close to failing too.
For most doors a yearly service is sufficient to check the spring tension, to check and readjust the door balance, to check the doors rollers and hinges for wear and to check the cables for wear. Safety reversal tests are also carried out to check that the door will stop and reverse as required. However doors that are subject to constant daily use, such as homes with lots of cars or busy commercial bays, may require more frequent checks as soon as wear starts to show rather than waiting for years to pass.
Yes. Cold makes spring steel more brittle. Therefore, the spring that has already reached the end of its life cycle will fail on the coldest day of the year while a spring with adequate reserve life will fail on a milder day. Springs in Denver are subjected to a full season of expansion and contraction in the summer before the first hard freeze of winter arrives. Therefore, late-autumn failures are common as the metal has little fatigue life left when temperatures drop rapidly.
An uncontrolled opening is usually caused by one of four possible faults. A stuck or shorted wall pushbutton, a fault in the wiring of the control circuit, a neighbor using a fixed-frequency remote control of an old type with a control code that coincides with that of your control, or a failing control board. None of these are alarming but all must be diagnosed by our competent staff. They will come to visit on a garage door repair Denver CO call and diagnose the fault instead of just shooting in the dark.
