Torsion and extension springs carry the weight of your door. If one breaks, we replace it with a spring matched to the door so it lifts and runs properly.
We diagnose problems with LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman garage door openers including drive gear failure, logic board issues and misaligned photo-eyes.
We install doors for new construction, replacements and insulated upgrades, fitted to your opening.
When panels are badly bent, rusted or cracked, we can usually match them for most residential door styles and sizes, or quote a whole new door.
Do not wait for the door to fail. A maintenance visit includes a full safety inspection and fixes worn rollers, loose parts and fraying cables, on a written quote.
We book repeat work and keep records for managed rental units and small commercial properties, so you do not start from scratch every time you call.
Our techs carry the right tools for the load. That much cable tension can seriously injure anyone not trained to handle it.
Some dented or cracked sections of a door panel can affect how a door fits in a frame. We try to match the replacement panels with the original door and also replace the bottom seal where necessary.
The most common reason for a garage door repair Lakewood CO call is a broken spring. Lakewood’s freeze-thaw cycles are very hard on spring metal, and a spring will break sooner than you think.
You hear a loud snap and all of a sudden the door doesn’t open or it’s hanging crooked on one side. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We carry a large variety of sizes for the typical types of doors found in our region for both torsion springs and extension springs. For 2-spring doors, it is common for both springs to wear equally and for us to recommend replacing both. A written quote will cover any combination of springs that you approve for replacement.
An opener can fail in several different ways. For example, the drive gear can strip, the logic board can short, the photo eyes can go out of alignment, or the wall button can stick.
Each of these failures makes a different sound or behaves differently, such as making a grinding noise, having a door reverse for no reason, or clicking repeatedly. Our technicians deal with all types of failures on garage door repair Lakewood CO calls and carry a full stock of parts for the most popular openers in the region. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. That rule matters most when an opener fails mid-cycle. Leave the door where it stops and call us.
The cables from the springs to the door help support the weight of the door. If a cable breaks or becomes frayed, the door may fall to one side or rub against the track.
The tracks can bend from impacts with the bumpers or a ladder and become loose from the wall over time. 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 straighten, realign or replace tracks as needed and replace cables in pairs so they stay even.
Hail damage to a home in Lakewood, Colorado is very real. One big storm can crack or split a panel severely enough to compromise a door’s seal as well as its structural line.
Our goal is to try to match up any damaged panels with the original door sections (of the same style). Sometimes too many panels are damaged to try to replace them individually. In those situations we’ll advise you of the necessity to replace entire sections of door and supply a full garage door replacement Lakewood quote. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.

Lakewood is a city at about 5,500 feet elevation on the Front Range. Garage doors in this kind of weather experience extreme temperatures.
Summer days can reach 90+ degrees Fahrenheit. Lubricants thicken in the cold, and January nights can drop to zero. A spring that makes it through summer near the end of its life often fails on the first cold day of winter, which is why most broken spring calls come in the winter months. The International Door Association publishes a maintenance checklist worth reading before the weather turns.
Many 1960s and 1970s homes in Green Gables and Eiber Village have single-car garages on extension springs rather than torsion systems, and that older hardware needs watching as it ages.Read more
In the Belmar multi-unit buildings, the openers are often aging chain drives, loud, slow and due for replacement. We see this regularly on garage door repair Lakewood CO service calls.

The safest thing to do is to leave it alone. A door that has come off its tracks is very heavy, and it can drop or shift suddenly and hurt someone. Keep clear until we arrive to secure it. Do not stand or park under it, and do not try to push it back into the track. Call us and we will send someone to secure the door.
We will identify which spring has broken on a 2 spring door. Both springs will have run the same number of cycles and will exhibit similar amounts of wear. By replacing both springs at the same time you will save having to call us back in a few months to do the same job. We will advise you as to our findings and then it’s up to you to do as you see fit, no pressure.
Until we have taken the measurements of your door, including weight and drum configuration, we cannot advise on a price. Every written quote lists the work, and nothing is done until you approve it. Call (833) 435-4540 for a visit to measure up your door.
Yes, there’s real merit to that. As steel gets colder it becomes less flexible, so a spring that’s nearing the end of its life is more likely to fail on the coldest day of the year than on a mild one. That’s why aging springs are most likely to fail around the first hard freeze, which in Lakewood typically falls in December or January. A pre-winter inspection on any door that’s more than seven or eight years old is worth the time.
A door that opens by itself can be caused by a variety of things including a stuck or shorted wall pushbutton, worn wiring in the wall, a neighbor using an old remote control that shares a fixed code with your door, or a failing control board. Our tech finds the actual cause instead of guessing, and in most cases fixes it on the same visit. Call (833) 435-4540 to schedule an appointment.
