No two calls in Lynn are alike! Below is most of the work our trucks handle every day. Your technician writes down the recommended repairs and their costs before any work starts, and asks for your approval before a tool comes out.
We stock torsion and extension springs in many sizes, so most spring repairs finish without a second garage door repair Lynn MA service call.
Our technicians are trained on LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman openers. We diagnose and repair problems, such as a stripped drive gear, a faulty logic board, and many photo-eye problems that occur at the door.
We replace your old door with a new one, hardware included, and then tune the opener to the new door's weight.
We can sometimes repair cracked or warped panels, but panels worn down by years of freeze-thaw may not be worth saving. We assess your door and tell you whether repair or replacement is best.
Spring and balance tuning, roller and track inspection, photo-eye adjustments and hardware tightening, all in one service call, with the price written down before we start.
Our trucks go to warehouses, loading docks and retail sites in Lynn when a roll-up or sectional door is down and the business cannot wait.
Cables wear slowly and then break without warning, so we replace both at the same time to keep the door balanced on both sides.
We source panels that match what is on your door now, then fit a new bottom seal so the door closes flush and keeps weather out.
The springs on your door do most of the lifting, not the opener. When a spring breaks, the opener tries to lift the full weight of the door by itself.Read more
We get a lot of calls for garage door repair Lynn MA before 8am for broken springs. Our trucks carry the springs for most of these repairs, so most finish in one visit. Leave the door where it is and call a technician.
Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door exactly where it is and call a technician immediately.
A garage door opener repair Lynn call could be a drive gear worn so far that the motor runs and nothing engages, a logic board no longer responding to remote controls, dirty or knocked photo-eyes causing a safety reverse, or a capacitor that has gone dead and will not allow the motor to start.Read more
We can usually swap the failed part instead of replacing the whole unit, unless the opener is at the end of its useful life. In that case, our techs handle the garage door opener installation with a LiftMaster or Chamberlain unit from the truck, often on the same visit. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
The cables run from the bottom bracket of the door up to the drum on each side and carry the springs' energy to open the door smoothly.Read more
A frayed or broken cable will drop one side of the door quickly and unbalance the entire system. Bent tracks, tracks pulling away from the wall and debris such as road salt can make the door bind, skip or even come off the track. 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. Getting garage door repair Lynn MA right on a cable or track job means checking the drum, the cable anchor, and the track brackets, not just swapping the broken piece.
A single dented panel rarely means the whole door has to go. We inspect the surrounding panels for any signs of damage or warping.Read more
If the door still looks good minus the dented panel, a single panel replacement is usually the best solution for this type of repair. Bottom seals, on the other hand, usually fail sooner than homeowners expect. On waterfront homes in Lynn with salt air and freeze-thaw cycles, the bottom seals take a real beating and are often the reason for service calls before winter sets in. Failing bottom seals let cold air, water and critters into the garage all winter long. 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 door that comes off track can weigh 200+ pounds and can drop without warning. Keep people and vehicles clear.

Lynn sits on the shore of Massachusetts Bay, and the salt air is hard on garage door hardware. The air gets into the spring coils, cable strands and roller bearings of the door and starts to deteriorate them from the inside out.Read more
Our techs see it most on streets near Lynn Shore Drive and the Lynnway, where springs can fail much sooner than they would inland. A good publication for information on the maintenance of garage door hardware is International Door Association. Many triple-deckers and two-family colonials in Lynn’s older neighborhoods, built between the 1910s and 1950s, have a single-car garage added decades after the house went up. These converted garages have low headroom, non-standard track configuration, and ancient hardware that has not been touched in thirty years or more. While some doors fail badly, most garage door repair Lynn MA calls in these neighborhoods are small adjustments to doors neglected for decades.

Springs are very powerful and contain a lot of mechanical energy, which can be very hazardous if the springs are not released using the correct tools in the correct manner. Even using the correct tools, the measurement and knowledge of the specific spring required for a particular door, due to its weight and height, is far too much for a DIY enthusiast to handle. It is a job for someone who has done it many times and gets it right the first time.
Yes. Usually it is the safety reversing system doing its job. A technician can realign a displaced photo eye or reset a travel limit after a proper test, but will never bypass the sensor, because it is there for a good reason.
It doesn’t matter what day and time of day you call us, the process is the same every time. Our tech measures up your door and writes up the cost to repair it. You approve the cost to repair before we commence work. This process works as well on a Tuesday afternoon as it does on a Sunday night. Our written quote clearly outlines all the work required to repair your door and nothing is done until you approve the quote.
Make sure the bottom seal is not cracked or compressed before the cold weather sets in. Moisture that seeps under the door will freeze to the floor and can tear the seal when trying to open the door. Also make sure the photo eyes are clear of ice and debris. If the door feels heavier than usual, do not try to force it. It is much better to have a garage door repair Lynn MA visit in October rather than in January.
Most noisy doors come down to dry rollers. The lubricant for the rollers dries out quickly in salt air, and soon the rollers will start to grind. Hinges, track bolts and an unbalanced door all produce different sounds. Have a grinding or banging noise checked rather than getting used to it.

When a door stops working, goes off track or starts grinding louder and louder, call Century Garage Door Repair Service, a garage door company Lynn homeowners can reach 24 hours a day at (833) 435-4540.
