I heard a hollow crack from the garage, and now the door sits right at the floor. The spring carries the full weight, and with it gone, the door has no way to rise.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for Trenton’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The opener light comes on but nothing moves, or the drive grinds halfway and quits. Stripped gears, a burnt board, or a photo eye nudged sideways is usually what we find inside.
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 crooked or has pulled off its track, and that door is heavy and not stable. Call us for this one rather than attempting it yourself.
Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it. Cable realignment isn't something a homeowner can do safely.
A door that will not close at midnight is your security problem right now. Call us for garage door repair Trenton NJ and a live person picks up at any hour.
You will not be charged extra for a repair when the service has already been estimated.
On every garage door repair Trenton NJ job we inspect and quote first, and start only after you approve.
Torsion and extension springs are often the weakest link in your door system. They can break suddenly, stopping the door in its track. Costs are written down and handed to you before the job starts.
We repair LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman openers, including burned-out drive gears, damaged logic boards and dead photo eyes.
We install new doors for row homes in Trenton and newer homes in Ewing. We take the measurements and help you pick the door. A written quote will lay out the full extent of the work for you to approve.
We replace damaged, warped or worn-out doors with a new one sized to your opening.
A tune-up includes lubrication, a safety check and hardware tightening. A written quote is provided before work commences.
We service commercial rolling steel and sectional overhead doors for garage door repair Trenton NJ, including high-cycle springs.
Frayed or snapped cables put the full door weight on hardware not built to carry it. Our techs use the right tools and load procedures to make the swap safely.
Dented or cracked panels get replaced with pieces matched to your existing door, and we fit a new bottom seal so the door closes flush and keeps weather out.
A snapped torsion spring is one of the most common reasons we get called out for a garage door repair Trenton NJ job and is easy to diagnose, because the door stays on the floor however hard the opener tries.
Torsion springs sit on a steel shaft above the door, and extension springs run alongside the tracks. Both of these parts carry a lot of stored force even after they have snapped. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We stock many different types of springs to fit most of the residential and light commercial doors found in Trenton. We provide a written quote before beginning any work with the springs and will not begin work until you have approved the quote.
Opener problems manifest in different ways. The motor may run a full cycle while the door stays put, the door may reverse before it closes, or the opener may grind and shudder on every cycle.
Our technicians handle garage door opener repair Trenton calls on most brands. That includes drive gear replacements, new logic boards, photo-eye and limit switch adjustments, and remote and keypad resets. A reversing door at a rental property is often a photo-eye problem. Instead of disabling a safety feature we reset the photo-eye and test it. 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 running from the bottom of the door to the top of the drums take a lot of strain each time the door is cycled.
A frayed or broken cable will cause one side of the door to drop and pull the rest of the panel out of the track at an angle. On occasion, tracks can get bent due to a car colliding with them, a garage shifting due to frost heave, or simply age. Our service techs can straighten, realign or even replace sections of track which is routine work on garage door repair Trenton NJ jobs.
A dented panel on a sectional door doesn’t always mean the whole door needs to go. We assess whether the damage is cosmetic or structural, replace individual sections where the hardware still aligns, and swap bottom seals and weatherstripping that have split or shrunk. A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning.
A door not closing at midnight is a security issue that needs to be addressed immediately, not left until morning.

Damage to your door system often shows up at the end of winter. A Nor’easter can hit at the end of winter with strong winds and a lot of water.
Once the storm has passed, the water can begin to freeze and thaw causing damage to the bottom seal, cables and spring temper. The International Door Association publication lists items to check during an inspection after a storm. Springs and bottom seals stressed over the winter often give out in February and March.

No. The force stored in torsion and extension springs can cause serious injury if released incorrectly. You will not have the correct tools and you will not have the accurate measurements to balance your door correctly. This is not a weekend project. It is best left to a trained technician.
Usually the safety reversing system is doing its job, and the fix is to correct the cause and test the system. Reasons for this problem include a photo eye that has been moved out of alignment, a dirty lens, or travel limits that have been set too close.

Wind loading tends to rack doors out of square. Driven rain then enters at the bottom of the door seal and works its way into the track joints. After a significant storm, track alignment, bottom seal condition and door balance should all be checked. A door that previously functioned perfectly but now sticks or even reverses direction upon closure requires a garage door repair Trenton NJ visit before the next storm hits.
