Common Garage Door Emergencies
Door Stuck Open
Your garage is wide open and you can’t close it. Your home, tools, and vehicles are exposed. This is usually caused by a broken spring, snapped cable, or opener failure. We get your door secured as quickly as possible.
Door Stuck Closed — Car Trapped Inside
You need to get to work, pick up your kids, or get to an appointment — and your garage door won’t open. A broken spring or opener failure is typically the cause. We get you out. More about spring repair →
Spring Snapped
You heard the loud bang. The door feels impossibly heavy. Broken springs are the #1 garage door emergency we respond to. We carry common spring sizes and can replace them the same day in most cases.
Door Off the Track
The door is crooked, jammed, or hanging at an angle. Forcing it makes it worse. We carefully realign the door, replace damaged rollers or cables, and get it running straight again.
Door Fell or Won’t Stay Up
If your door slams shut or won’t stay in the open position, the springs or cables have likely failed. This is a safety hazard — keep people and pets away from the door until it’s repaired.

What to Do While You Wait
If your garage door is stuck or broken, follow these steps:
- Don’t force it. Pulling on a jammed door or manually operating a broken spring can cause injury or further damage.
- Disconnect the opener. Pull the red emergency release cord to disengage the opener from the door. This prevents the motor from straining.
- Secure the area. If the door is stuck open, move valuables inside your home and keep children and pets away.
- Don’t try to repair springs yourself. Torsion springs are under hundreds of pounds of tension. This is not a DIY job.
- Call (571) 550-7040. Tell us what happened and we’ll get there as fast as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge extra for emergency calls?
We provide free estimates on all service calls. We don’t inflate pricing for emergencies — you get the same honest pricing whether you call on a Tuesday afternoon or a Saturday morning.
How fast can you get here?
Response time depends on our current schedule and your location in the Winchester area. When you call, we’ll give you an honest timeframe — not a vague “sometime today.”
Can you repair my door the same day?
Most emergency repairs — broken springs, off-track doors, opener failures — are completed the same visit. If your door needs a part we don’t carry, we’ll secure the door temporarily and return with the part as quickly as possible.
My garage door is stuck open overnight — what should I do?
Call us. If we can’t get there the same night, we’ll walk you through how to manually close and secure the door until we arrive. Move valuables inside your home as a precaution.
Is a loud bang from my garage a broken spring?
Almost certainly. A broken torsion spring sounds like a gunshot or car backfiring. If you heard a loud bang and your door won’t open, don’t try to force it — the spring needs professional replacement. Learn more about spring repair →

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out our frequently asked questions to get quick answers to some of the questions we hear the most. For more information, don’t hesitate to contact us!
What Do You Recommend for Garage Door Maintenance?
For maintenance, we recommend spraying all moving parts (pulleys, springs, etc.) with white lithium grease. Using this spray will ensure that your garage door does not become noisy and that the parts have an extended lifetime.
We also recommend releasing your garage door from the opener and trying to open the door manually. If the door feels too heavy, then it may need to be adjusted by a professional.
Finally, put something under your garage door in order to test your garage door opener. If the garage door sensors do not sense that something is under the door, meaning that it doesn’t stop, then you should have your door serviced immediately.
How Do I Paint My Garage Door?
You should expect the garage door to be installed within 2-3 days. However, we offer same-day service for emergencies.
If I Purchase a Garage Door Today, When Can I Expect to Have It Installed?
You should expect the garage door to be installed within 2-3 days. However, we offer same-day service for emergencies.
How Long Does a Garage Door Installation Typically Take?
Garage door installation time varies depending on the size of the door that is being installed; however, the time usually averages around 2-3 hours.
Do You Offer Emergency Service?
Depending on the time of day, we offer same-day emergency service for special situations that cannot wait!
What Does the Warranty Cover and How Long Is It For?
The warranties we offer cover paint finishes, and they usually last between 15 and 25 years. However, many warranties are dependent upon the quality of the garage door that you purchase; a higher quality translates into a better warranty.
Can I Just Replace a Section of My Garage Door?
Yes, you can replace just a section of your garage door instead of replacing the entire door as long as the company that manufactured your door still produces that model. However, in some cases, it is easier and cheaper to replace the entire door.
Will You Perform a Garage Door Safety Check?
Yes, we will perform a safety check of your garage door in order to determine if it is safe for you and your family!
What Do I Do if My Garage Door Remote Stops Working?
1. Replace the batteries
2. Replace the remote
How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?
On average, garage door springs will last for about 10,000 cycles. A cycle is defined as one complete opening and closing of your garage door. However, this number can be affected by a variety of factors, including the weight of your door, the type of springs you have, and other factors. If you’ve been wondering, “How long do garage door springs last?” We can help you understand what to expect.
If you live in an area with extreme temperatures, your springs may not last as long as they would in more moderate climates. Additionally, if your garage door is used more frequently than average, the springs will likely need to be replaced sooner.
When one of your garage door springs breaks, it’s important to replace both springs at the same time so that they wear evenly and don’t put undue stress on the opener. Failure to replace both springs can result in your door becoming unbalanced, which puts unnecessary strain on the opener and can cause premature failure.
People often ask us, “How long do garage door springs last?” They want to know if they’ll have to replace them soon, or they may think their existing springs could be nearing the end of their lifespan. It’s a good idea to have your springs inspected by a professional because they will be able to give you an estimate of how much longer they should last and let you know if it’s time to replace them.
