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 Thornton and the cities around it.
Backed into the door? The dent is the least of it.
A garage door that a car has caught gets read off the height of the mark rather than the depth of it. Low down, at the bottom section, the force reaches the bracket that carries the end of the lift cable: bend that and the cable goes slack, comes off its drum, and the door lifts crooked or quits part way up. Higher, the mark lands on a hinge line, and a section pushed an inch out of plane stops the rollers either side of it running true, so a straight-on knock finishes as a flattened curve in the track. The panel comes last on that list, not first.
That is also the reason not to cycle it again to find out. An opener reads resistance, not damage — it cannot tell a bent bracket from a door that is simply heavy — so the trip after the hit is the one that takes a slack cable the rest of the way off its drum. What helps most on the phone is not how bad the door looks: it is how high off the floor the mark sits, and whether it stays inside one panel or straddles the line between two.

Thornton is unincorporated, so residential building permits there come from San Joaquin County rather than from a city hall. Replacing a door is a different job from swapping an opener, and whether either one needs a permit is theirs to say, so start with San Joaquin County's Building Division page: that is where the current requirements and fees live.
No. There is no extra charge for evening or weekend work.
