Repairs, parts and new doors

Doors in this climate work hard: freezing nights, salt on the driveway, humid summers. Our services cover the wear that comes from all of it, plus the upgrades that make a door easier to live with, like insulation and phone control.

ScaleNot to scale

Doors that are hard to lift by hand, or that slam shut when released, are out of balance. Balance lives in the springs, and the services here restore it, whether that means new springs, a fresh cable or a careful adjustment.

  1. Part 1The panels

    Garage Door Panel Replacement

    Rust has crept along the bottom edge of the lowest section. What began as bubbling paint is now a soft, flaking strip, the seal retainer is working loose, and a screwdriver pressed against the worst spot goes through the steel.

  2. Part 2The springs

    Torsion Spring Replacement

    After pulling the red release cord, you tried lifting the door yourself and it would barely leave the floor. A door that used to glide up with one hand now takes real effort, which points to the counterbalance rather than the opener.

  3. Part 3The cables

    Garage Door Cable Replacement

    Your older door has springs along the tracks, and one cable has slipped off its pulley and dangles slack. The door lifts crooked and needs a shoulder to close, when it used to glide.

  4. Part 4Tracks and rollers

    Garage Door Roller Replacement

    The door is the one the builder installed and has never had a part changed. It works, but it clatters, the wheels are hard white plastic with no bearings in them, and the opener sounds like it is labouring more each season.

  5. Part 5The opener

    Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and Repair

    It is a January morning and the door lifts about a hand's width, groans, and settles back down. When you pull the release and try by hand the door feels far heavier than it used to, and the bottom seal is stuck hard to the slab.

2021 census: what it means at the door

Every square is one home in a hundred.

  • 58 in 100 homes · older homes
  • About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Original openers in older neighbourhoods often predate photo-eye sensors and rolling-code remotes. Bringing one up to date means a quieter motor, sensors that stop the door for a child or pet, and remotes that cannot be copied from the driveway, all installed in a single visit.
  • Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).Condo and townhouse garages are frequently used for storage as much as parking, with the door opened many times a day, and the shared walls mean vibration travels. A well-balanced door, tight hardware and a quiet opener are the upgrades residents notice most.

What to expect, in questions

What is the red cord hanging from the opener, and should I pull it?

That is the manual release, which disconnects the door from the opener's trolley so the door can be moved by hand. It is safe to pull when the door is fully closed, and it is the right thing to do if the opener keeps trying to move a jammed door. Avoid pulling it with the door part way open unless a technician asks you to, because an unbalanced door can move once it is freed.

How long does an off-track reset take?

A single escaped roller on a sound door with no cable trouble is usually done in well under an hour once the door is secured. A door that has racked with slack cables, several rollers out and a bent hinge takes longer because the springs are unwound, cables rewound and hardware replaced before the rollers go back. A vehicle strike that needs new track is the longest version. You get an estimate of time on arrival.

Can I keep using the opener until someone comes?

It is better to leave the opener alone. A racked door does not become straighter with another cycle; every press of the button forces the crooked sections deeper into the rails and strains the hinges and wall brackets. Unplug the opener or pull the red release cord if the door is fully closed, keep people and vehicles clear, and let the technician move it in a controlled way.

How long does a torsion spring replacement take?

Most residential replacements are completed in one visit. Securing the door, measuring, removing the old spring, fitting and winding the new one, balancing and testing the opener typically takes an hour or two, longer if bearings, cables or a bent top section are also being dealt with. The technician confirms the scope after the first checks, so you know what the visit involves before the work starts.
