Garage Door Repair Service
So don’t wait for such grave issues to jeopardize the safety of your car and also your family. Instead, look for these signs, which may imply that your car garage door needs to be service or repaired:
It won’t Open or Close:
Sensor obstruction is one of the most common causes of garage door issues. Door sensors, or photo eyes, which are usually found at the base of your door’s track, can be prone to faulty wiring, misaligned sensors and obstructions. If your door is clear of obstruction and sensors are aligned and still won’t open, be sure to call a garage door repair expert.
Slow Response Time:
Observe how long it takes for your door to respond to your commands. It must typically begin to open or close within a second or two after you pressed the opener. If you observe any delay in the operation, it might indicate that something is wrong with your door or the opener.
It Makes a Loud Noise:
A noisy garage door is the result of loose hardware, worn rollers, or the garage door opener itself. There are simple fixes, but to avoid the last minute urgent need of a garage door repair expert, it is better to keep your ears open to the noise coming from the garage door that seems unusual to you.
The door is off the Tracks:
If your door is visibly off its tracks, it can cause your door to malfunction and become stuck. This tends to happen to old garage doors or doors that have sustained damage over the years. You cannot do much from home to alleviate this situation, as it may require specific parts and other necessary equipment.
Uneven Garage Door Sections:
Garage doors have a tendency to sag over time if they are not properly maintained. When the door is closed, you’ll see large gaps under the ends of the door.
It is advisable to check and test the balance of your garage door at least once a month. This involves disconnecting the opener from the door and manually operating it. When you bring the door at about midway and leave it there, it must not continue to rise or fall. If it does, there must be something wrong with the tension spring or other parts of your door.
Repair Services We Offer
Quality Overhead Door offers a variety of services for many common garage door problems.

Springs in garage doors operate under considerable pressure. When a spring wears out or is damaged, it can lead to premature failure of the door. We have the expertise to fix your springs and have to highest quality replacement parts from the top names in the industry, ensuring your door works smoothly.
Opener repair:
A broken opener can mean you need to open your garage manually each time. That greatly reduces the convenience of your garage and can make your garage less secure. It also means you will either idle your car or have to restart your car more often to avoid idling.
Realignment of unbalanced/misaligned doors:
Misaligned doors may get stuck, may not open or close correctly, or may look crooked. This issue can put added strain on your entire garage door system and may cause premature failure.
Off-track and roller repair:
A garage door off its tracks is a serious issue. This type of door can fall on your car or a person, causing serious injuries. That is not a DIY project! Call in the professionals for speedy service, not just for your garage’s convenience but also for your safety.
Broken cable repair:
You might open your garage door more than a thousand times a year. That puts pressure on the cables, which work with the springs to lift the door. With time, cables become worn-out and can break. Quality Overhead Door can help diagnose issues with cables, whether you notice a strange sound or you’re already dealing with a snapped cable.
Panel repair:
Whether your garage is made of wood, vinyl, or any other material, the panels can become damaged from tennis balls or basketballs, impact, wear and tear over time, and other reasons. We have the experience with garage doors of different materials, so we can fix your garage door to make it look its best and work correctly.
Weatherstripping repair:
Weatherstripping is the seal along the sides and bottom of your garage door. Over time, this seal can crack, become weather-damaged or simply get worn down, which creates gaps. Damaged weatherstripping can allow moisture and pests into your garage and make your home less energy-efficient. If you notice your energy bills increasing or see other signs of garage door problems, contact Wayne Dalton of Windsor.
