Spring failure is the most common garage door repair Newton MA call we get. A Torsion spring is mounted on the metal shaft above the door.
It carries the weight of the door every time it is opened and closed. It usually fails with a loud bang and then the door becomes very heavy to open and close. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Both torsion and extension springs are sized off the weight of the door and the height of the door. Our technicians take those measurements before fitting the springs. We carry a variety of wire gauges and wind counts on our service trucks to complete most spring service calls in one visit.
Garage door opener repair Newton covers a worn drive gear, a failed logic board, and a photo eye that got moved out of alignment by a nearby trash can.
Typically problems with garage openers can be repaired by our skilled service technicians who work on brands such as LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman and Ryobi. If the unit is too old or is not cost effective to repair, then our techs can remove the old unit and install a brand new one and program it for you before leaving your home. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
Cables extend from the bottom corners of the door up to the drums located on either side of the torsion shaft.
A frayed or broken cable can cause a door to fall or bind in the track. The tracks themselves can become bent or detached and/or become out of alignment, often as a result of a door being bumped by a car bumper in a home. Such problems with a door mean that it can no longer be used. 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. Cables work under spring tension, so this is careful work. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
A single cracked or dented door panel does not have to mean a full door replacement is required.
If the rest of the door is in good shape and that panel is still in production, we can swap just the one section. First we confirm the door’s model and maker, then we write a quote and order the matching panel.

The harsh winters of Newton can be tough on many things including hardware and the repeated cycle of freeze and thaw can be devastating.
The bottom seal of a door can fill with ice. As the tracks contract the door that opened easily in October will now bind or not open at all.

Yes, often. We can replace a damaged panel section if the rest of the door is sound and that section is still in production.
