A torsion spring gave way with a crack, and the door is sitting exactly where it landed. It won’t lift on its own, so leave it alone and call us.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Harrisburg’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The opener hums but the door never moves, or it stalls halfway and reverses. A stripped gear, a burnt board, or a sensor out of position is usually why.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
Your door is tilting to one side or has shifted in the frame, and that means a cable or track has failed. Call us for this, not a DIY fix.
Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Cable realignment isn't something a homeowner can do safely.
An open door at midnight is a security problem that belongs to tonight. Call us for garage door repair Harrisburg PA and a live person picks up at any hour.
You will not be charged extra for a repair when the service has already been estimated.
Every call for garage door repair Harrisburg PA gets a truck stocked for the job, a tech who has seen the problem before, and a written quote before a single tool comes out.
Our technicians will replace your broken torsion or extension garage door springs. We will then re-tune your garage door to insure proper operation of your garage door opener.
Is your opener grinding, reversing by itself, or simply dead?
We offer a full selection of garage door panels, including Sectional Steel Garage Doors, Insulated Garage Doors, and Carriage Style Garage Doors.
Are some doors just too expensive to fix?
Check and adjust springs, rollers, hinges, balance and opener force limits.
We repair large warehouse steel doors, service doors with high cycle count springs and provide maintenance for large multi unit property sectional garage doors throughout the city.
When a cable breaks or a track bends, it can cause a door to stop working. We repair or replace cables and re-align tracks on the majority of service calls.
We replace the individual panel that needs to be replaced instead of the whole door, as one panel isn’t worth spending the money to replace the whole door.
Most people attempt to open their garage door again by pressing the remote control for their garage door opener.
Wrong! Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We service torsion springs mounted on the header tube above the door and extension springs running along the side tracks of your garage door. Our technicians will size, wind and test balance of the new spring before leaving your home.
The parts to fix these are typical enough that we carry them on every truck and most opener calls can be repaired as a garage door opener repair Harrisburg visit in one trip.
The manual release cord of any opener is probably one of the most misused parts.
A cable that has frayed or broken can drop a section of door. A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning.
Our technicians will straighten a bent track section or even replace it if damaged. They will swap out any worn cables and see to it that the rollers in their channels are properly set. 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 dented bumper panel or a cracked ice-covered panel doesn’t mean you have to start from scratch.
If the remainder of the door is strong enough we can try to source a matching section and replace the damaged panel. If a full replacement is the better option, the technician quotes the garage door installation Harrisburg job on the same visit.
A spring is an emergency item and does not operate on business hours. That means when you call (717) 617-0384 you will get an answer to your call 24/7, 365.

Leave the door in the position it was when the spring broke. Switch power to the opener off at the wall. Do NOT attempt to manually lift the door, or try to close the door with the opener. Forcing a door with a broken spring can cause severe bending to door panels, potentially causing damage to the opener motor on top of the failed spring. We will send a technician to complete the repair. Repairs are much easier when the door has not been forced.
Generally we can supply individual panels to replace damaged sections of a door. We require the balance of the door to be sound and for us to be able to purchase the necessary panels for the model in question.

If single panel replacement is not sufficient to repair the door we will advise on this and provide a quote for a full replacement door.
We service commercial facilities around the city including rolling steel doors, sectional overhead doors, and high-cycle springs on doors such as those found in warehouses and multi-unit properties. A technician will visit your facility, assess the door, and provide a written quote for the work required. The work will only begin once you have approved the quote. Call (717) 617-0384 to schedule a commercial visit.
Start at the bottom of the door and work your way up checking side seals for cracks or for being squeezed flat. Make sure that the door is properly balanced and closes level. Any loose parts on the door track and hinges must be tightened before the first hard freeze. Don’t wait until January when the door gives way. Booking garage door repair Harrisburg PA in October with us would prevent an expensive emergency call in the freeze!
The doors will typically attempt to close and then reverse as this is how a safety system is designed to function.
