Broken Spring & Cable Repair

A loud bang from the garage, then a door that won't lift? That's almost always a broken spring. A crooked or uneven door usually means a broken or spun cable. Both are everyday repairs for us.

Springs carried on the truck

We carry most torsion and extension springs on our service trucks — including springs for one-piece doors — so most spring repairs are finished in a single visit, often the same day you call.

Crooked or uneven door?

One of the most common causes of an uneven door is a broken or spun cable. The door can't run right until the cables are back on their drums and aligned. We re-hang or replace the cables, balance the door and test it.

Stay safe until we arrive

Springs hold a lot of tension. Please leave the door where it is, keep the opener unplugged, and keep kids and cars clear. Don't force the door or the opener — give us a call and we'll take it from there.

“I called AA garage doors yesterday after my door ghost opened a second time! They were there in 15 minutes & explained what the problem could have been. That's what it was & I was pretty relieved I didn't have to spend a grip of money. Both Alexs were really helpful, super professional & easy to work with. I'd highly recommend this company to everyone who needs their services!”
