Twice this week the door started closing, stopped a metre from the floor and reopened on its own. One of the little sensor lights near the floor blinks instead of glowing steady, and the wall button has to be held to close it.

Door stuck open
Safely, right now
- Leave it where it stopped. Don't pull it down by hand or keep pressing the button.
- Nobody walks, plays or parks under the door until it has been checked.
- Leave the red emergency release alone while the door is up: it can come down hard.
Door won't close
Safely, right now
- Give the remote a rest: each new try strains the opener and can bend the door.
- Don't step or reach under the door to move anything. If a bin, bike or snow is in the way, mention it when you call.
- Leave the safety sensors near the floor as they are: never tape them or bypass them.
Spring snapped
Safely, right now
- Don't lift the door by hand and don't use the opener.
- Nobody and nothing goes near the door: people, pets and cars stay clear.
- Don't pull the emergency release while the door is open. It can drop.
Car stuck inside
Safely, right now
- Don't drive into the door or try to force it open.
- If you heard a bang or the door feels heavy, don't pull the release or lift it. A spring may be broken.
- Plan on leaving the car where it is until the door has been checked.

The fix, explained · Georgina
What is the door doing?
EmergencyTorsion Spring ReplacementThe door starts to rise, gets about the height of your knee, then shudders and reverses.
The fix
Torsion spring replacement restores the counterweight that makes a garage door light enough to lift. A sectional door often weighs more than a fridge, and the spring above the opening carries nearly all of that load, storing energy as the door closes and releasing it as it opens.
Until then
When a spring breaks, the safe approach for the household is to leave the door where it is, keep people and vehicles clear, and avoid running the opener, which can damage the top section, the trolley or the gear drive.
Pull the manual release only when the door is fully closed unless a technician asks otherwise; a door disconnected while partly open can move on its own if the springs are out of balance.

EmergencyOff-Track Garage Door ResetYour car is inside and the door is stuck crooked across the opening.
The fix
An off-track reset is the visit that puts a crooked, jammed or hanging garage door back onto its rails. Sectional doors ride on rollers inside a pair of curved steel tracks, and when a roller escapes, the door racks sideways and jams.
Until then
Never run the opener on a door that is off its track or hanging crooked; every cycle drives the racked door harder into the rails and can pull the track from the wall or tear a hinge.
Pull the manual release only when the door is fully closed unless a technician asks otherwise; a door disconnected while partly open can move on its own if the springs are out of balance.

EmergencyGarage Door Cable ReplacementAfter years of slushy winters the cables look thinner near the bottom brackets, with rust streaks running down the door where they attach.
The fix
Cables are replaced as a pair, and there is a practical reason. Both went on the door together, have made the same number of trips and have sat in the same slush, so when one fails the other is close behind.
Until then
Never run the opener on a door that is off its track or hanging crooked; every cycle drives the racked door harder into the rails and can pull the track from the wall or tear a hinge.
Pull the manual release only when the door is fully closed unless a technician asks otherwise; a door disconnected while partly open can move on its own if the springs are out of balance.

EmergencyExtension Spring ReplacementThe opener groans on the way up and the door slams the last foot on the way down, hard enough to rattle the windows.
The fix
Every extension spring should carry a containment cable, and replacement is the moment to make sure yours do. A containment cable runs through the centre of the spring and is anchored at both ends, to the rear hanger and to the bracket at the front of the track.
Until then

Book soonEmergency Release RepairSince the new door went in, the red handle has hung just below the ceiling, a stepladder's height above anyone in the household.
The fix
Beyond the repair, this service leaves every adult in the house able to use the release confidently. You see the handle pulled straight down with the door shut, the door lifted by its handle or a gripping point away from the panel joints, and the trolley clicked back together by pulling the cord toward the opener or running one…
Until then
Pull the release with the door fully closed whenever possible, and keep the opening clear as you do.
Lift a door by its handles or the gripping points on the panel face, never at the joint between sections, which closes as the door bends around the track.
Book soonGarage Door Opener Diagnosis and RepairThe wall button works every time.
The fix
Winter changes what an opener is asked to do. Grease in the gear case and on the rail thickens in the cold, rollers turn stiffly, and the bottom seal can freeze to the concrete overnight so the door is briefly glued shut.
Until then
Pull the release with the door fully closed whenever possible, and keep the opening clear as you do.
Never drive a vehicle at a closed door to get out; the door collapses and the stored tension in the counterbalance is released.

About the crew and the craft
Before work starts you will know exactly what we intend to do and what it involves. If we find something else while the door is apart, we stop and show you, and you decide whether to add it. Nobody should learn about extra work from the invoice, and nobody should be talked into a part they did not need.

A walk-through of the door. You see what we see: the spring that has stretched, the cable that is fraying, the sensor that is knocked off line.
Care for what is stored. Bikes, tools, seasonal boxes and vehicles are moved or covered as needed, and put back where they were.
Choices that fit your plans. Selling next year, staying for decades or renting out: the right option depends on that, and we ask before advising.

2 / 3
The car bumper kissed the door on the way in. The bottom panel has a dent, the bracket in that corner sits crooked, and the cable on that side has jumped and gone slack, so the door reverses every time it tries to close.
3 / 3
Rust has crept along the bottom edge of the lowest section. What began as bubbling paint is now a soft, flaking strip, the seal retainer is working loose, and a screwdriver pressed against the worst spot goes through the steel.
Which fix fits?
IfThe door hangs lower on one side and looks twisted in the opening.
One cable has usually slipped off its drum; the door needs to be secured before it is re-seated.
IfA roller has popped out and the panel is leaning away from the track.
ThenOff-track door reset.
We lift the section back into the track and look for what forced the roller out.
IfA bracket has pulled away from the wall and the track wobbles.
Fresh lag bolts into solid framing, and a check that the track spacing is still correct.

ThenCommercial Sectional Door Repair.

Looking at the whole system. The spring system, the tracks and the opener are checked as one machine, because a fault in one part often starts in another.
The repair, then the test. New parts fitted, tension set, sensors aligned. The door then runs through several complete cycles before we consider the job finished.

What the census means at the door
43%
Homes of every age. About 43% of homes in Georgina were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
A mixed-age neighbourhood is where retrofits are most common: safety cables added to extension springs, a torsion conversion on an older door, insulated panels replacing a hollow door, or a quieter belt opener under a newly finished room above the garage. Each is a routine job for us.
83%
Mostly houses. Single-detached houses make up about 83% of homes in Georgina (2021 Census).
Where houses are detached, a side door into the garage and an interior door into the house are common, so the garage door is one of several ways in. Making sure it closes fully, locks properly and has its old remote codes cleared keeps the whole house secure.

Answers in plain language
Can an off-track door fall?
A door with one cable slack and the springs still pulling on the other side is being held by parts that are not sharing the load, and it can shift or drop without warning, whether or not anyone touches it, if the second cable lets go or a roller gives way. That is why the visit begins with clamps on the track and support under the sections, and why people, pets and vehicles stay clear of the opening until that support is in place.
How often should the door be checked after this?
A monthly look of your own at rollers, cables, hinges and the reversal test keeps small problems small, and a professional tune-up once a year covers the parts you cannot safely handle: spring tension, cable condition, track alignment and opener settings. A door that has come off its track once is worth this attention, because the event often reveals wear that has been building for a while.
One side of my door hangs lower than the other. What does that mean?
A door that sits tilted almost always has a lifting cable that has gone slack, unwound from its drum or broken on the low side. The springs are still pulling on the other side, which is why the door racks and the rollers escape. Leave it where it is; levelling it means handling the springs and rewinding both cables evenly, which is done with the door clamped and the tension controlled.
What about a garage with very little space above the door?
Low-headroom garages use a different arrangement: the spring assembly may be mounted at the rear of the horizontal tracks, or special low-headroom drums and track bring the door up with less clearance. Replacement follows the same principles, but the drums, cable routing and turn count differ. The technician identifies the system on arrival and brings hardware that suits it, so the door balances correctly in the space available.
