  • Any visible spring, cable or track damage
  • Current availability and pricing to confirm

A closer look

Explain the urgency before trying the door again

The most useful first step is to describe the condition of the door and why the problem is urgent. Tell us if the door will not close, is hanging unevenly or is preventing access to a vehicle. You do not need to know which component failed.

Service timing depends on location, scheduling and the work required. Calling is the best way to ask about the next available appointment and any applicable charges. Please confirm service hours and response times with our office when you call.

Keep people away from an unstable door

Stop operating a visibly damaged, crooked or unsupported door. Do not stand beneath it, release it from the opener or try to force it closed. If someone is injured or there is an immediate threat to life, contact emergency services first.
