I went to leave this morning and heard a flat crack from the ceiling. The spring is what lifts the door, so with it gone, nothing will raise it.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Pikesville’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The remote clicks and the motor starts, but the door never budges. A dead logic board, worn drive gears, or a photo eye off its mark is usually the fault.
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 gone crooked and the whole panel feels wrong in the frame. This is not a repair to touch yourself, so step back and phone us.
Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Cable realignment isn't something a homeowner can do safely.

The most common part to break on a garage door repair Pikesville MD call is a spring. These can be torsion springs mounted on a metal rod above the door or extension springs running along the track on either side of the door.
Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. To choose the correct replacement spring(s) for your door, we take weight and height measurements of your door. If we choose the wrong ones, your door will feel too heavy for your opener from the very start.
