Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We have many different types of springs in stock including single door and double door configurations as well as standard and high-lift track types. We have most of the heavy insulated steel doors used in larger homes in Hyde Park and Mount Lookout in stock. Where a Cincinnati door has two springs, we recommend replacing the pair together.

The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
Panel damage comes from impact, freeze-thaw cycles and years of moisture seeping into the seams and drying out.Read more
We verify that the part in question is for the correct manufacturer and model number prior to determining if the part is available.

Cincinnati weather wears garage door hardware down over time. Between October and January, metal can contract, grease can become thick and stick, and flexible bottom seals can become brittle.Read more
As a result, doors that were working properly in the fall can begin to bind or develop gaps between the door and the frame. In some cases, a cable slips off its drum. In addition, freeze-thaw cycles can split the seams of a steel panel garage door or crack old vinyl weatherstripping on a wood garage door. The International Door Association has seasonal maintenance guidance worth reading before the Cincinnati cold sets in. Service calls to older residential neighborhoods of Cincinnati such as Westwood, Madisonville and College Hill (homes built out from the 1920s through the 1960s) reveal a dominant presence of single-car garages. The single-car garage openings in these older homes are for the most part light-duty. As doors to these garages are upgraded to larger, heavier, insulated models, the springs originally designed to support the light weight of the door are frequently found to be under-sized for the new door. Thus, a call such as garage door repair Cincinnati OH typically reveals a simple spring failure and we provide a quote to replace the springs with the proper models for the current door as opposed to the models that were originally installed with the home. When a door upgrade leaves the original springs mismatched to the new door, a garage door repair Cincinnati OH visit sets that right.

The many variables when quoting access solutions include size, material, amount of insulation and whether or not the customer intends to retain their existing opener or whether we supply and install a new one. Our technician will need to take measurements of the door and the surrounding structure before writing the quote, and the written quote comes before any order is placed or work starts.
Just in time for the start of the cold weather, check the bottom of the door for any signs of deterioration to the seal. A cracked or brittle seal can allow cold air to enter and also allow water to accumulate at the bottom of the threshold. Don’t force a door that is stuck at the bottom. Whatever is binding it can turn into a failure by January if it is left. A pre-season garage door repair Cincinnati OH visit would catch these problems.
Yes, often. First we verify that the remaining parts of the door are in good working condition and that the panel is currently in production.
