One call books garage door repair Norfolk VA with a trained tech. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Our trucks carry torsion springs in the wire gauges and wind counts most Norfolk doors use, from the 1960s and 1970s doors common in Norview and Ingleside to the older ones near Ocean View. Most are finished in one visit. On a two-spring system we recommend replacing both, so the second one does not break two weeks later.
Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door exactly where it is and call a technician immediately.
Every week, our garage door repair Norfolk VA calls include opener problems. Most of the time an opener will run but the trolley will not move the door.Read more
The cause for this type of failure is usually a stripped drive gear or a broken carriage. A door that does not respond to a remote control usually has a dead logic board or a photo eye knocked out of alignment. We can repair your LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman or Ryobi brand garage opener. See garage opener installation options on the page.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
A lift cable can be worn or even broken in places a homeowner cannot see. The cable carries the spring tension to the door, and when it breaks the door can drop suddenly.Read more
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. Garage door repair Norfolk VA calls for off-track doors are more common after the summer heat cycles, when older galvanized tracks expand and shift. Our techs realign the tracks, inspect the rollers for wear, and test the door's travel before they leave.
In Norfolk, storm damage from trees and from reversing into doors is very common. If the rest of the door is fine and the panel is still in production, a single panel replacement is a good option. We confirm the model and manufacturer before ordering any parts.Read more
Your garage door bottom seal is exposed to salt air and also to the freeze/thaw cycles of water between November and March in Norfolk. A cracked or perished seal allows moisture to enter your garage. In a garage containing a lot of metal i.e. springs and cable drums, rust can quickly develop. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
