You heard a pop overhead, and now the door won’t budge. The spring lifts every pound of that door, and with it snapped, nothing will raise it.
Our techs weigh the door to determine exact spring size and wire diameter for West Linn’s specific housing styles, perfectly adjusting coil tension.
The opener hums and the light blinks, but the door sits frozen. Stripped gears, a burnt logic board, or sensors off their mark are usually the reason.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
One corner of the door has dropped, or the whole panel is tilting hard in the frame. Keep clear and call us for this, not a solo fix.

A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.

Leave the door in whatever position it stopped and turn the opener off at the wall. Continuing to run the opener after a spring has gone puts serious load on the motor and can turn a straightforward spring replacement into a much bigger job, sometimes pulling panels out of alignment or fraying a cable in the process. Don’t attempt to push or pull the door by hand either. Just leave it alone and wait for the tech.
On a door fitted with two springs, both springs have been working the same number of cycles from day one and carry the same amount of age on them. Once the first one snaps, the second is already close to its limit. Replacing both springs at the same time means the door gets matched tension on each side and you won’t be calling again in a few weeks when the surviving spring gives out. It’s a practical decision that saves a second service trip.
Once a year works well for most West Linn households. A typical annual visit covers spring tension, roller and hinge condition, cable wear, track alignment, and a safety reversal test on the opener. Doors that get used more than twice a day, or that sit in a damp garage close to the Willamette, take on more wear than average and may benefit from a check every six months or so to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
It does. West Linn’s wet winters and warm dry summers push metal components through repeated cycles of expansion and contraction, and springs that are already near the end of their rated life tend to let go during those cold, damp stretches between November and March. The shift back into warmer spring temperatures adds another round of stress. Homeowners in lower-lying parts of West Linn near the river often see this pattern more sharply than those on the ridge, simply because the moisture levels are higher down there.
A door that opens on its own usually comes down to one of a handful of causes: a wall button with contacts that have stuck closed, a wire that’s developed a short somewhere in the control circuit, a neighbor’s old remote that happens to share the same fixed frequency as your opener, or a logic board that’s started misfiring. A technician can trace the actual cause during a garage door repair West Linn OR service call and swap out whichever component is at fault.
Call (833) 435-4540 any time, day or night, to reach a real person. The dispatcher will confirm your two-hour arrival window before the call ends, and a text goes out when the truck is headed your way. Most garage door repair West Linn OR jobs wrap up in a single visit because the trucks carry the parts. Seniors, military, and first responders receive a standing discount on service.
