I heard a hollow boom from the garage, and the door is sitting right at the floor. The spring is gone, so nothing carries the weight, and it will not rise.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Philadelphia’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The wall button clicks and nothing happens, or the opener runs while the door just sits there. A stripped gear, a burnt logic board, or sensors out of position are 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 hanging at an angle or has left its track, and that door is heavy. Call us rather than touching it yourself.
Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Cable realignment isn't something a homeowner can do safely.
When a door is stuck open at midnight, that is tonight’s problem. Call us for garage door repair Philadelphia pa and a live person picks up.

Our technicians service roll-up and sectional doors at warehouses, loading docks and retail bays throughout Philadelphia, so a commercial door going down won’t bring your operation to a halt for long.
When one cable frays or breaks, the load shifts to parts that were never meant to carry it. The forces involved are best dealt with by our trained technicians.
We get panels cut to size for your old door and fit new bottom seals. The door then closes flush up and prevents cold air entering.
The springs on your garage door are what lift the weight of the door. If one of the springs breaks, the garage door opener is left to try to lift a door that was never meant to be lifted by the opener.
All of the moving parts of the opener are subject to forces greater than they were designed to handle. Most of our garage door repair Philadelphia PA calls before 8 a.m. are broken springs. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We replace the torsion springs for single and double doors. We replace the extension springs for older single car garage doors.
There are several ways an opener problem can present itself to a service tech. A running motor with a non-moving door, a remote control that will not pair with a receiver, a door that reverses on the way down, or an unsolicited opening/closing of a customer’s garage door are all examples of problems related to an opener.
Our service techs determine the root cause of these types of problems while on a service call. The parts that are typically found to be at fault for these types of problems are the drive gear, the opener’s logic board, the photo eye(s), and the wiring associated with these parts. For those garage door repair Philadelphia PA service calls that are determined to be related to a garage door opener problem, we can install a replacement opener, including several LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie models. We also offer the ability to upgrade a customer to a smart garage door opener if desired.
The cables carry the spring tension, and the tracks keep the door running straight. A frayed cable or a bent track section can turn a good door into a useless one very quickly, as a crooked door can drop at any time.
A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. We straighten bent tracks, replace snapped or frayed cables, and reset the door on its rollers before we leave. Property managers in particular call us for cable work after a tenant clips a track pulling out too fast.
We see a lot of cracked or dented panels in the tight spaces of Philly driveways. A wide car door or a trash can rolled into the corner is often all it takes.
One damaged panel does not always mean a new door, if the frame is still square. We will try to find matching panels to those that need to be replaced and provide you with a written quote for the repair as well as the replacement cost for your garage door repair Philadelphia PA job. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
Midnight is not a good time for a door to fail. Real people staff our phone line 24/7/365.
They will provide you with a clear answer as to whether or not we have a truck available to come out same day or tell you when the next opening will be. This is not a recording or a callback. For emergency garage door repair Philadelphia calls, we allow a 2 hour arrival window, and you will receive a text when your truck is on its way.

Philadelphia winters are hard on garage door hardware. A sharp January cold snap after a wet November shows up as damage to bottom seals, cable drums and roller brackets.
Many of the older rowhouses in Philadelphia’s neighborhoods, like Strawberry Mansion, Hunting Park and parts of Kensington, have single-car garages. These were built as wood doors many years ago, the 1920s and 1930s, and then converted to steel doors at a later date. The frame is not always the right size for the steel door, so through the long summer the door rubs against a slightly warped frame. Come January though, that door will freeze solid. The International Door Association puts out some excellent information in the run up to the cold weather for the maintenance of doors.
A door that gives trouble in the fall is most likely to fail in the depths of winter, and a fall service can keep it from giving out in January.

Check your door seals for any cracks at the bottom and sides of the door. Are they stiff? If so, cold air gets in, and the seal can freeze to the floor on very cold days.
