What we fix most in Smyrna

Damaged panels

A bumped bumper or storm debris dents a section. If the rest of the door is sound we replace just the panel, color-matched, instead of the whole door.

Old door replacement

When a door is 20+ years old, uninsulated, or several panels are damaged, replacement is the better investment. We measure, order and install, and haul the old door away.

Snapped or frayed cables

Cables usually fail at the bottom bracket. One side drops, the door racks sideways and panels bend. We replace both cables and check the drums and springs they're attached to.

Noisy, shaking door

Grinding, popping and rattling almost always mean worn rollers, loose hinges or a dry chain. A tune-up with new nylon rollers makes the door quiet again.

Garage doors and hot summers and cold winters

Big temperature swings expand and contract the tracks and change spring tension through the year, which is why doors that worked fine in September start sticking in January.

About homes in Smyrna

Smyrna has a mix of older houses with wood doors and newer subdivisions with steel doors. We carry parts for both, including the lighter extension springs older single doors use.

Questions from Smyrna customers

Can you replace just one spring?

We can, but we don't recommend it. Springs are installed as a matched pair and the second one fails soon after the first. Replacing both at once costs less than two visits.

My door is stuck halfway. Should I pull the red cord?

Not if the door is crooked or a spring looks broken — the door can drop. Leave it, keep people and cars clear, and call us.

Do you charge extra to come to Smyrna?

No. Smyrna is inside our regular Dover service area. The service call fee is the same, and it's applied to the repair.

Do I need to be home?

Someone needs to let us into the garage and approve the price. After that you're free to go; we lock up and leave the invoice.
