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 Santa Cruz and the cities around it.
A double-width door is not held up by one spring but by two, wound onto one shaft either side of the center bearing plate, sized as a set. The one that breaks is half the lift, and its twin has raised the same door the same number of times: not the survivor, the next one. Fit one new spring beside it and the pair is mismatched from the first cycle — the old side is down on torque, nothing on the shaft tells you how far, and the door runs heavy while the opener, the shaft and its end bearings take the difference. The census puts the median home here at 1970 and 66.3% of the stock before 1980, so on plenty of these doors both springs are as old as the door. Springs come off and go back on as a pair: same wire, same length, same turns.
