A snapped torsion spring is one of the most common reasons for a call to us for a garage door repair Evansville IN.
This spring is designed to store energy to lift the door. When it breaks the door will not move under its own power. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. For residential doors, we carry a variety of torsion and extension springs, typically one-car and two-car sizes. A broken spring is not a wait-until-the-weekend repair. Running the opener without a spring can damage the motor in a very short amount of time.
Garage door opener repair Evansville problems present in all sorts of seemingly unrelated ways.
In most cases, worn drive gears, tripped logic boards, and dirty or misaligned photoeyes are responsible for the symptoms described below. A motor running but not opening a door, a remote control not working any more, or a door immediately reversing when it touches the floor are classic patterns of failure. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener. Our trucks carry the most common opener parts, so we usually finish garage door repair Evansville IN opener calls in one visit. If a part is no longer made for an older model, we tell you on the spot and give you a written quote for a new unit rather than a repair that won’t last.
The cable runs from the drum down to the bottom bracket, on each side of the door. As the cable frays or breaks, the door falls to one side of the track and jams there.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. Impacts from cars, bicycles, trash cans and other objects cause the door tracks to bend. A bent section between rollers causes the door to grind or stop part way. We straighten or replace the damaged section and then check the entire track for proper alignment before we leave your home.
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. We can often replace a single damaged panel on a steel or older door instead of the whole door, provided the rest of the door is sound. Our technician will establish whether or not a panel is currently available for your model prior to providing a written estimate for the work. Garage door panel replacement is worth a call before you assume the whole door has to go.

Evansville is a river town on the Ohio River. The river humidity rusts steel doors, rollers and hinges through the summer.
Lubricants that work well in April can break down by July, and a door that ran smoothly in spring starts to bind. Springs near the end of their life cycle can break in the first cold spell of December. Because of the big swings in temperature, hardware wears out faster than most people expect. Information on the maintenance of steel doors is contained in the International Door Association publication. Read it before the seasons change. Many single-family homes in the Evansville area went up between the 1940s and the 1970s, and many of those garages still have their original doors. These doors are typically very heavy and most are not insulated. Their hardware was built to the standards of decades past, so garage door repair Evansville IN calls to those homes usually turn up worn cables, dried-out rollers and springs already on their second set. New insulated replacement doors will save energy and run much quieter than the originals. Our tech gives you a written quote before we order anything.

The work required to balance a spring loaded door is NOT a weekend project. The amount of force stored in a spring can cause serious harm if released incorrectly. Even simple work requires accurate measurement, best taken with specialized tools. Only a trained technician should do it, and we would be glad to.
It is usually better to replace the damaged panel(s) of a door rather than the whole door, provided the rest of the door is in good order and the right panel is still made for your model. We check panel availability for your model before we write the quote.
Yes, our work comes with a workmanship warranty. The details come with your written quote, so you know them before any work starts.
Yes. Big temperature swings through the year wear hardware out faster, and thin, worn springs often fail when the temperature drops sharply in November or December. A garage door repair Evansville IN tune-up before a part fails is usually better than the repair after it does.
The safety reverse did its job and sent the door back up. A blocked, dirty or slightly misaligned photo eye, or travel limits set too tight, can cause it. Our techs reset and test the system to make sure it works safely. The safety reversing function is designed to prevent damage and protect people and vehicles. We would never attempt to disable safety reversing functions.
