Common Garage Door Problems We Fix
Broken Springs
The #1 repair issue. Springs counterbalance your door’s weight and typically last approximately 10,000 cycles. When they break (often with a loud bang), your door becomes extremely heavy or won’t open at all.
Symptoms:
- Door opens 6-12 inches then stops
- Loud popping or snapping sound
- Visible gap in the spring coil
- Door feels impossibly heavy to lift manually

Opener Malfunctions
Modern garage door openers are sophisticated machines that can experience motor failure, gear wear, circuit board issues, or remote problems.
Symptoms:
- Opener runs but door doesn’t move
- Door reverses immediately after closing
- Remote control doesn’t work
- Grinding or humming noises
- Opener light blinks repeatedly

Safety Sensor Issues
Safety sensors (photoelectric eyes) prevent the door from closing when something is in the path. When misaligned or malfunctioning, they prevent normal operation.
Symptoms:
- Door won’t close (reverses immediately)
- Opener lights blink
- Works with wall button but not remote
- One sensor light is off or blinking

Cable Problems
Lift cables run along both sides of the door, working with springs to lift the door smoothly. Cable fraying or breakage creates serious safety hazards.
Symptoms:
- Door hangs crooked or lopsided
- Loud snapping sound when operating
- Visible cable damage or slack
- Door comes off track
Track & Roller Issues
Bent tracks, worn rollers, or loose hardware cause binding, noise, and jerky operation.
Symptoms:
- Door binds or sticks while moving
- Loud squeaking, grinding, or rubbing noises
- Door vibrates excessively
- Visible gaps between rollers and track
Panel Damage
Dented, cracked, or rotted panels affect both appearance and functionality. Missouri weather – from ice storms to summer heat – takes a toll on door panels over time.
Symptoms:
- Visible dents or cracks
- Water damage or rot (wood doors)
- Warped or buckled sections
- Difficulty opening/closing
Hardware Failures
Hinges, bearings, brackets, and other hardware wear out over time, especially on frequently used doors.
Symptoms:
- Excessive shaking or rattling
- Hardware visibly loose or broken
- Door makes popping sounds
- Sections feel loose

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Garage Door
Repair Makes Sense When:
- Door is less than 15 years old
- Only one component has failed
- Panels are in good condition
- Door operates smoothly overall
- Repair cost is under 50% of replacement
Consider Replacement When:
- Door is 20+ years old
- Multiple major components failing
- Repeated repairs needed
- Severe panel damage or rot
- Outdated safety features
- Energy efficiency concerns
Our technicians give honest recommendations. If replacement makes more financial sense, we’ll tell you. Learn about door replacement →
