Common Emergency Garage Door Repair Requests
If your garage door is stuck, off‑track or making loud, unusual noises, stop using it immediately and contact us right away. Operating a damaged door can be dangerous and may cause further damage to your system.
Some minor issues can be checked safely, but more serious problems should always be handled by a professional emergency garage door technician.
Here are some of the most common emergencies we see:
The Garage Door Remote Won’t Open or Close the Door
If your remote suddenly stops working:
- First, replace the batteries.
- Make sure you’re within range, and nothing is blocking the sensor signal.
- Check that the wall button still operates the door.
If the remote still doesn’t work after these quick checks, the issue may be with the opener, sensors or wiring. In that case, schedule an emergency service so a technician can diagnose and repair the problem safely.
The Garage Door Reverses Direction While Closing
Your photo‑eye safety sensors are designed to stop the door if they detect something in the way. If the door starts to close and then immediately reverses:
- Inspect the photo eyes for dirt, dust or cobwebs.
- Gently wipe the sensors clean and make sure they’re aligned and not blocked by objects.
If cleaning and aligning the sensors doesn’t fix it, there could be a wiring or opener issue that needs professional attention.
The Door Is Off‑Track or Misaligned
Tracks keep your garage door running smoothly and safely. Signs of an off‑track or misaligned door include:
- Warped, bent or visibly damaged tracks
- A gap between the track and rollers
- Slow, staggered or jerky movement
- The door won’t open or close fully
- Loud scraping or grinding noises during operation
Do not try to force the door open or closed. An off‑track door is a safety hazard and should be inspected and repaired by a professional as an emergency service.
The Door Struggles to Open, Moves Slowly or Jerks
If your door feels extremely heavy, moves only a few inches or jerks while opening, the most likely cause is a broken or worn torsion/extension spring.
Broken springs:
- Make your door unsafe to operate
- Can cause serious injury if you attempt DIY repair
Never try to fix or replace springs yourself. Call for emergency service immediately so a trained technician can safely replace them.
The Door System Makes Unusual Noises While Operating
Different noises can point to different problems, such as:
- Slapping – often from loose chains
- Squeaking or grinding – worn or loose rollers
- Rattling or vibrating – loose bolts, nuts or hardware
- Loud bang or pop – a spring may have snapped
Because some of these issues involve critical components like springs, it’s best to have a qualified technician inspect the system and perform any needed emergency repairs.
