I pulled the car out and heard a sharp crack overhead. The door stayed down because the spring is what lifts it, and with it snapped, nothing will raise it.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for McLean’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The button clicks and the drive powers on, but the door sits still. Stripped gears, a dead logic board, or photo eyes knocked sideways are the usual reasons.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
One side of the door has dropped and the whole panel hangs at a hard angle. This repair is not safe to attempt yourself, so call us and keep everyone clear.
Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Cable realignment isn't something a homeowner can do safely.
A door that will not close is a garage door repair McLean VA call you make right now. We answer at any hour and a live person picks up.
You will not be charged extra for a repair when the service has already been estimated.
On every garage door repair McLean VA call, one of our techs comes out, assesses the door and writes a quote for your approval before any work starts. Here is what we handle in McLean:
We replace broken torsion and extension springs on all sizes of doors. Broken springs are among our most common calls, and our trucks carry the parts to finish most spring repairs in a single visit.
Our technicians can diagnose and repair a board fault, a stripped drive gear or a sensor that has become misaligned, and they service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman openers.
Whether you are building a new home and need a door installed or you have a very old door that has seen better days, we carry out the full installation of your new door.
A door with multiple failing panels, a distorted frame or rusting track is often better replaced than repaired. At every garage door repair McLean VA visit we honestly look at this question for you.
A tune-up catches worn rollers, loose hardware and frayed cables before they turn into bigger repairs, and the quote is in writing before we start.
Our repairmen fix roll-up doors, sectional doors, loading docks, retail doors and warehouse doors. We carry most commercial parts on our trucks.
Damaged cables, whether frayed or snapped, can prevent the door from moving. Our repair technicians replace cables and fully test the system prior to their departure.
We pull the damaged panels, fit matching replacements, and install a new bottom seal so the door closes flush.
The springs are what hold the weight of your door. When one breaks you will hear it and the door will not move.
A broken spring is one of the most common garage door repair McLean VA calls our techs answer, and one of the most important to get right. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We stock a wide range of torsion springs including those used for heavier double-car doors found in many larger McLean homes. We also carry a variety of extension spring kits to be used on older single-car garage doors. When a spring breaks, we measure the door and match the correct part. On a two-spring door the second one is usually close behind, and we tell you before any work starts whether only one needs replacing.
A garage door opener repair McLean job can be anything from a photo eye that got bumped out of alignment to a logic board that’s simply failed.
Our techs work on all the major brands. If a new drive gear is all the opener needs, you hear that before anyone mentions a new unit. These openers come with a manual release cord as an emergency feature. A failed opener for a shared garage in a multi-unit home in McLean is a big problem for your tenants. We treat these calls with the same sense of urgency that we would treat a call from a homeowner.
A worn or broken cable can let one side of the door drop, so it hangs crooked. Bent, misaligned or blocked tracks cause a different problem: the door binds, grinds or jumps the track.
A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. Off-track doors are a common garage door repair McLean VA call, often after a car clips the door or a roller wears out.
One dented or cracked panel doesn’t always mean a garage door replacement McLean job. We confirm the door’s maker and model, then quote the panel and any parts the swap needs. If the model is discontinued or the frame is damaged, we tell you that too. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner.
The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
Nobody plans for a spring that snaps at ten at night or a door that won’t open in a downpour.
Our phone line for emergency garage door repair McLean is answered 24/7 by real people. Call (833) 435-4540 and the dispatcher gives you a straight answer on what is open. You get a 2 hour window on the phone and a text when the truck heads out.
URGENT
After-hours garage door repair McLean VA calls work the same way, with a written quote for your approval before any work starts.
McLean summers run hot and humid, January brings hard freezes, and spring storms drive rain under the bottom seal.
Those swings are hard on a door’s metal parts. Grease thins in the heat and runs off the rollers, and in the cold it stiffens, so rollers that were already worn start to bind. That is why late winter and high summer are when most problems show up. The International Door Association publishes care guidance that suits a climate like this one.
McLean has plenty of large colonials and brick Tudors built between the 1960s and the 1990s, and many still have their original double-car doors.Read more

No. Springs hold a lot of stored energy and can cause serious injury when they release without the right tools. They are also sized to each door, so a hardware-store spring is a guess. Leave it to a trained technician and call us for garage door repair McLean VA instead.
Yes, very often. If the rest of the door is okay and that particular panel is currently in production then a single panel replacement can be a sensible solution. We confirm the door model number before commencing work and provide a written quote before starting any work. If the door is discontinued or the frame is badly damaged, we tell you.
We can’t give a price for a spring until our technician has measured your door. The price for springs is based on the weight of your door and the size of the spring drum. Our technician measures your door and writes up a quote, and you approve the work before it is carried out. We cannot give a price for this over the phone as we would risk ordering the wrong part for you and giving you a wrong price.
Yes. Extreme winds from a McLean storm can severely rack a door frame, drive water at the bottom of a door seal, and severely dent door panels. After evaluating such damage for repair versus replacement of a totally damaged door and providing a detailed written estimate before commencing work, we are generally able to repair severe cosmetic damage to doors otherwise in good working order and not requiring total replacement.
