Core Emergency Repairs
OC Garage Door Guys specialize in the essential emergency repairs that generally lead to breakdowns late at night.
Our core emergency repairs include:
• Broken Spring Replacement: Torsion springs are responsible for the heavy lifting of your door. When one of the springs suddenly breaks (sometimes with a loud “bang”), your door will either become impossible to lift or will become stuck in the open position. This is dangerous and urgent. Our technicians carry a variety of high-cycle springs and will install a correct replacement instantly. Then we will test and balance the door to ensure that it operates smoothly and safely again.
• Opener & Remote Repair: If your garage door will not respond to the remote or wall button, this means that the opener has likely failed. We repair all the major brands LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and others. Our team will diagnose a dead motor, stripped gear, or electronic malfunction and replace the faulty parts. We can repair or replace remotes and wall consoles so that you can operate your door without worry.
• Safety Sensor Alignment: Almost all garage doors are manufactured with photo-eye sensors to stop the door from accidentally closing on people and pets, or objects. If these sensors are blocked or misaligned, i.e. a spider web or mud on one or both sensors, the door may refuse to close or may reverse after beginning to close. We will methodically clean, re-align and test the safety sensors so that your garage door closes every time without getting stuck.In essence, we ensure the safety mechanism is operating correctly, ensuring safety for your family.
All of these emergency situations are handled by certified technicians who will provide insight into the issue and your options in easy-to-understand instructions. We offer a written estimate before any work is done so you are aware of what you are paying for.
Common Late-Night Garage Door Problems
Late at night, we often see different garage door issues, here are some examples:
• Midnight spring failure - A nice gentleman of ours returns home from a late movie; he pushes his garage remote, and snap! His torsion spring is broken. Suddenly, the garage door is stuck and will not budge, or it is drooping on one side. Broken springs are among the most common and serious issues we face. OC Garage Door Guys can put that spring in without delay, so you are not stuck in the dark.
• Opener not working/ dead remote - You pushed a button on the garage door, and it did nothing - you find yourself locked outside in - what now? You may have a dead battery in your remote, the circuit is tripped, or your opener motor might have given out. We will soon determine why your opener is not functioning properly, and we can repair or replace the problem using either your control board, motor, or door sensors. Even if it is raining at 3 AM, we will get that garage controller back in operation quickly.
• Your garage door is continuing to reverse, or does not want to close, more often than not the safety sensors are the issue.At times, things as trivial as a loose broom or cobwebs can cause the sensors to become misaligned. We will show you how to clean the sensors, and adjust them to be able to see the beam so that the garage door opens and closes consistently and reliably every time.
• Garage Door Off-Track or Jammed: In very rare cases, a hard impact or mechanical problem can cause the door rollers to come off-track. If the garage door is crooked or jammed, it may be necessary to call us immediately. We will put it back on-track, and any bent hardware can be repaired so that your garage door opens and closes easily again.
Whatever the issue is, if you’ve encountered it before, we have repaired it before. OC Garage Door Guys is kind of like your 24/7 garage door emergency partner – we’ll deal with the scary stuff so that you can rest easy.
