Something snapped above the door with a loud crack, and the door is sitting right where it landed. The spring is what lifts it, so without one working, it will not rise.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Tallahassee’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The remote does nothing, or the motor runs and the door never budges. Stripped gears, a burnt logic board, or sensors out of position are usually where we find 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 your door has sagged, or the whole panel has shifted sideways off its track. This is not a repair to attempt yourself, so call us and keep clear.
Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Cable realignment isn't something a homeowner can do safely.

By far the most common part to break on a garage door repair Tallahassee FL call is a torsion spring or an extension spring.
The spring does all the actual work of opening a door, and when it breaks, door movement ceases. It usually goes with a loud snap, often on the first use of the day. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. Forcing an opener with a broken spring to operate can cause serious damage to the opener. Such damage could include bending the top section of the door, stripping the drive gear or even breaking the cable on the opposite side of the broken spring. Our trucks carry the common spring sizes, so most spring repairs finish on the first visit.
Opener trouble shows up a few ways: the motor runs and the door does not move, the door reverses before it finishes, or the remote only works from 6 inches away.
Garage door opener repair Tallahassee FL calls typically come down to a stripped drive gear, a logic board that has been destroyed by a power surge, or a misaligned photo eye. We service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman and many other major brands. If an opener is beyond repair, we can replace the whole unit. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.
The cables carry the springs’ lift to the door and keep it level as it travels. If one of the cables starts to wear or even breaks, one side of the door will fall down and possibly get stuck in the door track or will no longer move at all.
Watch for fraying, and book garage door repair Tallahassee FL before a worn cable lets go. Bends in the tracks can occur due to various reasons such as a vehicle colliding with the track, settlement of old buildings or a faulty cable which has been running incorrectly for years. We will straighten or replace the section of damaged track and check the remainder of the runs before we leave.
A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning.
Cars and storms both dent Tallahassee doors, and many older steel doors have lost their protective coating. A damaged panel can often be replaced on its own, as long as the rest of the door is sound. If the damage is too extensive, we will say so and talk through a full garage door replacement Tallahassee job instead.
An open door at midnight is a security problem now, not one to leave until tomorrow. The phone is answered live 24/7, 365 days a year.

URGENT
Garage door repair Tallahassee FL emergencies happen on weekends, on holidays, and at two in the morning, and the phone is answered for every one.
Florida has a mild reputation, but Tallahassee has real seasons. Summer is very hot with temperatures above 90 degrees and very high humidity.
This type of weather can cause problems with garage door hardware throughout the season. Older steel garage doors found in many of the mid-century homes in the Thomasville Road and Frenchtown neighborhoods are particularly prone to problems. The coating on the door may flake off and rust will form at the bottom of the corners. As the door ages, it can start to bind in the tracks. Many garage doors make it through the winter but start to show signs of wear by spring when the temperature fluctuations finally take their toll on the older hardware. International Door Association offers a publication that outlines recommended maintenance to help prevent problems before they occur.
Summer lightning is a common cause of opener damage. Tallahassee sees some of the most frequent lightning in the country during storm season, and it shows up in garage door repair Tallahassee FL calls.Read more
A strike does not have to hit the garage, because a nearby surge can still ruin an opener's logic board. When an opener dies right after a storm, a surge is the likely cause, not the spring.
