Identify what your door is doing before you call. If it is one of these, do not keep operating it.
Your torsion spring has snapped under intense torsional load. Forcing the opener to lift the door without spring assistance will burn out the motor or snap the drive belt.
A lift cable has slipped off the drum or a roller bearing has seized and popped out. Operating the door in this state can completely drop the heavy panels.
A stripped internal nylon drive gear or a blown starting capacitor. We carry complete carriage gear rebuild kits in our trucks to repair your system immediately.
Don't let a snapped spring, snapped cable, ripped weather seal, or a defective remote keep you locked inside. Our expert teams carry fully stocked dispatch trucks. We regularly perform comprehensive garage door maintenance (inspection, lubrication, adjustment, and component testing) to keep your system safe. We serve Burlingame and the cities around it.
The census can date most of Burlingame to a decade. For nearly three homes in ten it will only say “1939 or earlier” and stop there.
Whether a garage door can wait is not settled by how loud it was or how it looks from the street. It is settled by whether anything is still holding the weight. That is the job of the springs and of the two cables running down to the bottom corners, and when one of those lets go the weight has to go somewhere — down onto the slab, onto the one corner still connected, or onto the machine overhead, which is there to steer a counterbalanced door rather than to lift an uncounterbalanced one.
Age is what most of us reach for when we are working out how worried to be, and in Burlingame it separates almost nothing. Half the housing here was finished by 1957, give or take three years either way, and of the 13,675 units counted, 80.2% went up before 1980 against 9.5% since 2000. The twenty years to 1969 account for 3,812 of them and the twenty years after for 2,420 — 1,392 apart, with 586 the error on that comparison. A spread that wide hands over time and nothing else — room enough for the door, the springs and the opener above them to have been changed by somebody, once or more than once, in whatever order suited the day. Which of the three is holding your door up this morning is not in there anywhere, and that is the part the answer turns on.
So if the door is standing where it stopped, the most useful thing you can do is leave it standing there. A door that is hanging off one cable will lift crooked if it is asked again, and then two things need putting right instead of one. Tell us what it did and where it came to rest, because those two states are different problems on the same driveway: shut with the car behind it, or part way up with the garage open to the street. Either way the door goes back into service on the same terms — the counterbalance carrying it, the opener only moving it, and the door tried both ways before anyone leaves.
