What we repair

Ten core services covering everything a residential or commercial door can throw at you. Each page explains the symptoms, the likely cause and what the repair involves.

Spring Repair

A snapped spring leaves the door too heavy to lift. We replace torsion and extension springs in pairs, rebalance the door and test it before we leave.

Opener Repair

Dead remotes, stripped gears, misaligned sensors and failed logic boards. We diagnose the whole opener system and repair it rather than default to replacement.

Read more

Cable Repair

Frayed, slack or snapped lift cables leave a door hanging crooked. We replace cables in pairs, reset the drums and re-level the door in one visit.

Read more

Off-Track Repair

A door that has jumped its track is stuck, crooked and unsafe to force. We lift it back into alignment, straighten the track and find the cause.

Read more

Roller Replacement

Worn steel rollers make a door rattle, bind and wear its track. Sealed nylon rollers run quietly, last longer and cost very little to fit.

Read more

Panel Replacement

One damaged section does not always mean a new door. We identify the model, source a matching panel and fit it without disturbing the rest.

New Door Installation

A new door changes the whole front of a house. We measure, advise on insulation and style, remove the old door and install the new one in a day.

Read more

Commercial Repair

Rolling steel, high-cycle sectional and dock doors. When a bay is down your operation is down, so we work around the clock to get it moving.

Emergency Repair

Stuck open at midnight, car trapped, door hanging crooked. We answer around the clock and prioritise anything that leaves a home or business exposed.

Maintenance & Tune-Up

A yearly service catches the failures before they strand you. Balance, tension, rollers, hinges, cables, sensors and seals all checked and adjusted.

Common problems, answered straight

Most calls we take fall into a handful of patterns. Here is what usually causes them.

The door will not open at all

Start with the simple checks: is the opener getting power, and is the emergency release cord hanging loose. If the door is dead in both powered and manual modes, the counterbalance is the suspect and the door should be left alone until a technician looks at it.

There was a loud bang from the garage

That sound is a torsion spring breaking almost every time. The door will feel enormously heavy afterward and the opener may struggle or refuse to lift it. Do not run the opener again, it can burn out the motor or bend the top section.

The door reverses on its way down

The safety sensors mounted a few inches off the floor are being blocked or are out of line with each other. Clear anything in the beam, wipe the lenses, then check that both indicator lights are steady rather than blinking.

The opener hums but nothing moves

Power is reaching the motor and the drive is not transferring it. A stripped nylon drive gear inside the opener head is the usual answer on chain and belt units. A broken spring produces the same symptom for a different reason.

The door is crooked or off its track

One side has come out of the horizontal or vertical track, often after a cable snapped or a car nudged the door. Stop using the opener immediately. Forcing a crooked door bends track and damages hinges and sections.

The remote stopped working

Try a fresh battery first, then test the wall button. If the wall button works and the remote does not, the remote needs re-pairing to the logic board. If nothing works, the receiver or the board itself is the issue.

The door slams shut instead of closing gently

A slamming door is a counterbalance problem, not a speed setting. Broken or badly weakened springs, or a snapped cable on one side, let gravity take over. This one is genuinely dangerous and should be looked at the same day.

There is a gap at the bottom when the door is closed

Usually a hardened or torn bottom astragal seal, but it can also mean the door is out of level or a cable has slipped on one drum. Water and leaves getting in during a Tennessee downpour is the practical cost of ignoring it.

The door will not close in bright sunlight

Late-day sun hitting the receiving safety sensor washes out the beam and the opener reads it as an obstruction. Shading the sensor or repositioning the pair fixes it, and it is one of the more common summer service calls we get.

The chain is slapping or the door rattles

A loose chain, worn steel rollers, or hinge and bracket bolts that have vibrated free. All three are normal wear on a door that has been in service for years and all three are handled in a standard tune-up.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?

Look for a visible gap in the coil above the door, a door that lifts a few inches then stops, or a door that feels like it weighs two hundred pounds by hand. A loud bang from the garage with no other damage is almost always a spring letting go.

Are you really open 24 hours?

Yes. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. If your car is trapped or your door will not close overnight, that is exactly the call we are set up to take.

How fast can someone get here?

We dispatch from within the Nashville metro and cover Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Sumner, Wilson, Cheatham and Robertson counties. When you call we will give you a realistic arrival window for your address rather than a vague promise.

My opener hums but the door does not move. What is wrong?

The motor is running and something between the motor and the door is not transferring the force. On chain and belt units that is usually a stripped plastic drive gear. It can also be a broken spring, which leaves the door too heavy for the motor to lift.

Why does my door reverse right before it closes?

Nine times out of ten it is the safety sensors near the floor being knocked out of alignment or blocked by a bin, a bike or a spider web. If the sensor lights are steady and clean, the close-force setting or the travel limit needs adjustment.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. Diagnosis over the phone is free, and we give you the number for the work before the technician starts. On-site quotes for repairs and replacement doors are free as well.

How often should a garage door be serviced?

Once a year for a typical household, twice a year if the door is your main entrance or the garage is unconditioned. Balance, spring tension, roller condition and sensor alignment all drift over time.

How long does a new garage door installation take?

A standard single or double door replacement is usually a same-day job of roughly four to six hours, including removing the old door, setting new tracks, mounting the counterbalance and pairing the opener.
