I went to open the garage and heard a flat crack overhead. The spring is what lifts the door’s full weight, and with it gone, nothing will raise it.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Tanglewilde’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The wall button clicks and the drive starts, but the door never finishes. Stripped gears, a dead logic board, or a photo eye shifted sideways is usually what stopped it.
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 tilts hard in the opening. This is not a fix 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.

Our techs source panels to match your existing door and replace the bottom seal so the door closes flush and keeps weather out.
The springs do the actual lifting of the door. So when one breaks, the full weight lands on the opener, which was never built to carry it.
In Tanglewilde most homes with garage doors have torsion springs. These are typically mounted above the door on a steel shaft. Some older homes may have extension springs which run along the sides of the tracks. Either way, the repair is much the same: the technician removes the broken spring, installs a correctly wound new one and balances the door before leaving. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. The two springs on a two-spring door are of roughly the same age and have suffered similar wear and tear. Replacing the one spring that has failed will likely result in another garage door repair Tanglewilde WA visit within a few months. We would like to point this out before providing you with a quote rather than after the repair.
Garage door opener repair Tanglewilde calls usually involve a motor that runs while the door sits still, a remote that stopped working, or a wall button that sticks and keeps the door cycling.
Our expert technicians can service all of the major brands of openers including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman and others. Before we begin work on your opener, we will inform you if all you need is a drive gear as opposed to a completely new 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. Smart openers, including models with cameras, are available as an upgrade to your existing opener.
Cables run from the bottom of the door up to the drums on each end of the spring shaft, and they take a beating every time the door cycles.
A frayed cable is a common find on a garage door repair Tanglewilde WA visit, particularly on doors that see heavy daily use in a rental or multi-car household. When a cable snaps, the door drops on one side and jams in the track. Tracks go out of line when something knocks the door, roller seats wear or hinges work loose over time, and we straighten, reposition or replace the section as needed.
A dented or cracked panel does not necessarily mean complete garage door replacement Tanglewilde when the frame is still sound.

As both springs would have been fitted on the same date and cycled the same amount of times, when one fails the other is unlikely to be far behind. For two-spring doors it’s our general practice to recommend and supply both springs to be replaced at the same time to prevent a second service call being required within a few weeks or months. The reasons for this are explained on the written quote and are your decision.
