Answers to the questions Stamford homeowners ask us most about garage door repair, springs, openers and service.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We answer calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays. If your door is stuck open, your car is trapped inside or your home is not secure, call and we will send a local technician as soon as possible.

Most Stamford customers see a technician the same day, and emergency calls are often reached within the hour depending on location and demand. We will give you an arrival window when you call.

Common signs are a loud bang from the garage, a gap or split in the spring above the door, a door that feels very heavy, or an opener that strains and stops after a few inches. If you notice any of these, stop using the door and call us.

We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs hold enough tension to cause serious injury, and the wrong spring can damage your opener or let the door fall. A trained technician has the right tools and matches springs to your door weight.

Most problems, such as springs, cables, rollers and openers, are repairable. Replacement makes sense when several panels are badly damaged, the door is very old or poorly insulated, or it keeps breaking down. We will give you an honest recommendation.

Common causes include dead remote batteries, a tripped outlet or breaker, misaligned safety sensors, a stripped drive gear or a broken spring that leaves the door too heavy to lift. We repair all major opener brands.

This is usually the safety sensors near the floor. They may be dirty, blocked or knocked out of alignment. Wipe the lenses and check that both lights are steady. If the problem continues, the sensors or wiring may need service.

We recommend a tune-up once a year. Connecticut winters, salty coastal air and daily use wear out springs, rollers and hardware, and regular service helps prevent surprise breakdowns.
