A garage door that won't move is more than an inconvenience: it can trap your car, leave your home open overnight or shut down a business entrance. These are the emergency garage door repairs we handle most often in Chicago.
Garage Door Won't Open
Usually a broken spring or cable, an opener failure, or a lock engaged. Don't keep pressing the remote: it can burn the opener motor.
- Broken torsion or extension spring (spring repair)
- Snapped or unwound lift cable
- Opener motor, gear or circuit board failure
- Manual lock or emergency release engaged
Garage Door Won't Close
A door stuck open is a security risk, especially overnight. Most cases come down to the sensors, the opener settings or the track.
- Safety sensors misaligned, dirty or damaged
- Door reverses before touching the floor
- Opener limit or force settings out of adjustment
- Remote or wall button not responding
Door Off Track
Rollers that jump the track leave the door crooked, jammed or hanging. It can fall, so keep away and don't try to force it back.
- Rollers out of the track on one or both sides
- Bent or misaligned vertical and horizontal tracks
- Door hit by a car or caught on an obstacle
- Worn rollers and hinges replaced on site
Door Stuck Halfway or Jammed
A door that stops partway usually has a balance, cable or track problem. We find the cause and leave it opening and closing safely.
- Door stops and reverses partway up or down
- Grinding, popping or scraping noises before it stops
- One side higher than the other
- Opener running but the door doesn't move

Call (773) 757-8067What to Do Until We Arrive

- Unplug the opener if the door is crooked, off track or making grinding noises.
