The springs in your door do the actual lifting. When one of them lets go, your door becomes very heavy very fast. A breaking torsion spring releases all its tension with a bang loud enough to wake the house at 5 a.m., and it is the most common garage door repair Waldorf MD call we get.Read more
Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Both springs on a two-spring door are the same age and have the same amount of wear. Replacing just one usually means a second service call within a few months.

The cables run from the drums at the top down to the bottom corners of the door, and they lift both sides evenly. If a cable frays or breaks, one side of the door will drop.Read more
A door that has dropped on one side generally means the door is going off track. Most off-track garage door repair Waldorf MD calls come in after a storm. Typically these doors have been manually pulled open or a cable has finally given way after months of fraying. 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. In most cases, bent tracks are straightened or replaced, worn rollers are swapped and the entire system is checked for correct alignment before we leave your premises.
Water entry via denting or cracking of panels can cause serious damage within a door, potentially deteriorating the door’s insulating capabilities and structure.Read more
We replace damaged panels with ones matched to the original profile and finish. If the damage is too severe for a panel swap, a full garage door replacement Waldorf is the better fix. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.

The red release cord is pulled when the door is in the closed position on the ground and never when it is open or jammed. This is because a door under tension can fall suddenly. The red release cord is pulled when the door is closed and it detaches the door from the opener allowing it to be opened by hand. If the door will not lift easily by hand, it likely has a broken spring, so do not force it, and call us for garage door repair Waldorf MD.
A noisy door could be due to a number of things, including dry rollers, worn hinges, loose hardware and an unbalanced door. Grinding noises are usually caused by the rollers or the drive gear. Banging noises are usually caused by failed springs or failing cables. None of these are things you want to be hearing and if you do, we recommend you book a garage door repair Waldorf MD appointment to identify the problem and rectify as necessary.
For most households once a year is sufficient for a full service check to include checks for spring tension, door balance, wear and tear to rollers and hinges and wear to cables. Most importantly a full safety reversal test is also conducted to check that a door will reverse in case it is about to collide with something. Doors used heavily (e.g. in a rental property with lots of tenants) should be checked every six months. We always provide a written quote for any service work before any tools are brought out and the work will only proceed if you agree to the quote.
Yes. It goes through cycles of wet summers and cold dry winters. Steel springs and cables can corrode in the humid summer months and wood door sections absorb moisture which makes them swell. In checking a problem door our techs look for both types of wear. A garage door repair Waldorf MD service call in the spring or fall is a good time to check for corrosion before it fails.
On a two-spring door, both springs typically are of the same age and number of cycles. This means that when one spring breaks, the other typically fails shortly thereafter. Replacing both springs at the same time means that we only have to make one service call as opposed to two within a short time frame. In addition, the door will be returned to proper balance. As always, we will explain our reasoning on the job so that you can make the decision yourself.
