Home › Emergency Garage Door Repair

Most emergency garage door repair calls we take in Denver start the same way. The door moved fine yesterday. That is normal. The parts that fail here carry the door's weight, and parts under that kind of load go suddenly, not gradually. In Denver, hail dents panels and the freeze-thaw swings crack old lubricant and stiffen springs, which is why we carry the parts for it on the van rather than ordering them in.

Only two things can't keep until morning. The first is a door stuck open that can't be closed, which leaves the garage. And on an attached garage, often the house too. Open all night. The second is a door shut with the car behind it and someone who has to get to work. If it can wait, we'll say it can wait. Anywhere in Denver County, nobody needs a midnight visit for a noisy roller.

Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Arvada, Littleton, Englewood, Thornton and the rest of Denver County are all inside the normal radius. Free to come out, and nothing happens until you've decided.

What you're probably seeing

  • The door is jammed open and there's no way to secure the garage overnight.
  • Something was under the door when it closed, and now it won't lift.
  • The car is shut in and you need it out today.
  • After an impact the door is jammed partway open.
  • It's hanging crooked and you don't trust it to move.

Uneven door, loose cable, or a spring you can hear while the door stays put: stop and call. Repeated attempts to move a broken door are how a small repair becomes a panel job.

If any of that sounds familiar, a technician can confirm it on site in about ten minutes. Rather than guess over the phone, we come and look, free.

Before we get there

Anywhere in Denver County, car out before we arrive: release cord, door all the way down, nothing else. Never partway up. A door with no counterbalance, released halfway up, comes down the rest of the way under its own weight, at its own speed, and it's heavier than anyone can hold.

The rule with a failed door is simple: stop using it. Each attempt to run a door with a failed counterbalance shifts the load somewhere it doesn't belong, and the job grows with it.

To get the car out first: door fully closed, red cord pulled, then lift with two hands and a straight back. If the door doesn't move easily, leave it. It's telling you the counterbalance is gone.

What happens if it's left

It gets postponed a lot, so it's worth saying plainly what postponing leads to. None of the following is unusual. It's the ordinary sequence, and we see it in Denver every week.

  1. If the garage is open, so is the houseWhen the garage is attached, the garage door is a house door, and a night is a long time for a house door to stand open.
  2. Weather doesn't hold offA door stuck open turns a door problem into an everything-in-the-garage problem.
  3. Every forced lift adds damageA door that was run again and again after it failed is in a very different state from one that was left alone.
  4. Car trapped, day goneIt's the number one reason for after-hours calls, and one phone call a few days sooner would have avoided all of them.

The estimate is free, so finding out where you stand asks nothing of you. Call early and you avoid all of that.

Straight answers to the things we hear most in Denver

If the door is stuck, force it.

With the counterbalance gone, every attempt to lift the door dumps its full weight onto hinges, brackets and panels that were never designed for it. Before we arrive, do nothing. Stop pressing the button.

After hours means a different job.

After hours means an out-of-hours service call. We say so before anyone drives anywhere. Nothing about the work changes after hours, and the visit is still free.

Nothing can be done until the morning.

Springs in the usual gauges, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, bottom brackets and opener gear kits ride on the van, because a return visit tomorrow doesn't help a door that's open tonight.

None of that is unique to Denver. It's the natural result of guessing at a door over the phone. So we don't guess; we send somebody to look first.

Why the door that has failed outright fails

An emergency isn't a separate fault. It's an ordinary fault arriving at the worst possible time. Out-of-hours calls are springs, cables and doors off track, and what makes them urgent is what they've trapped.

In Denver County, out-of-hours faults are predictable, so the van carries springs, cables, drums, rollers, hinges, bottom brackets and gear kits. In Denver, coming back in the morning isn't an answer to a garage standing open, so the parts travel with the technician rather than sitting in a warehouse.

The opening gets secured before any repair starts. If it can't be finished that night, you're not left open: the door is made safe, the garage locked, and we come back with what's needed.

Questions we get asked in Denver

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, on parts and labor. If the same fault comes back within the warranty period, we return and sort it.

Are you really open 24 hours?

Yes, including nights, weekends and holidays. An open door with the garage exposed is exactly what the after-hours line is for.

Will this be fixed tonight, or am I looking at a new door?

Almost always fixed there and then. Springs, cables and off-track doors make up the night work, and the parts are on the van. A new door is a daytime job.

Can you come out today in Denver?

Usually, yes. We hold same-day slots for Denver and the surrounding towns, and a door stuck open or a car shut in goes to the front of the list.

Why does the door always break after hours?

Because the load never comes off those parts, and the cold hours are when a worn one finally lets go. It would have broken anyway. Night just moved it up.

Do you take card?

Yes, card. Card is fine. Nobody is pushed into a decision at the door.
