What a failing garage door is usually telling you
A garage door is a stack of panels hanging from hinges, riding on rollers in two steel tracks and balanced by springs and cables. When one of those parts wears or bends, the rest of the door starts to compensate, and that is when you hear the noise or see the door lean.
The usual causes are simple to name: a roller that has worn flat, a hinge that has cracked, a track knocked out of line, a panel that has dented or split. Each one has its own repair, and the repair is easier on the door the sooner it is made.
We look at the whole door before we touch it, so the part that is making the noise is not mistaken for the part that is causing it.
- Tracks bent or out of line
- Worn or broken rollers and hinges
- Dented, cracked or sagging panels
- A door that jams, drifts or closes unevenly
- Loud scraping, rattling or grinding

A word about doing it yourself
Some upkeep is safe for a homeowner, such as wiping tracks and looking for loose bolts. The springs and cables that carry the weight of the door are under heavy tension, and adjusting them without the right tools can injure you. If the door is heavy to lift by hand, or a cable has come loose, leave the door closed and call us.
Garage door repair questions
How do I know if my garage door needs repair?
Noise while it moves, slow or uneven travel, visible damage to a panel or to the hardware, and difficulty opening or closing are the usual signs. A professional look is the safe next step.
Can I repair my garage door myself?
Light upkeep is fine. Repairs involving springs, cables or heavy panels can cause injury or more damage, so they are best left to trained technicians.
What kinds of doors do you work on?
Sectional doors, roll-up doors and carriage-style doors, on homes and on commercial buildings.
What do I do if the door will not open at night?
Phone us. The line is open 24 hours, and the online form is open at any hour too.
