Garage Doors
Repairs and new doors
Business doors have their own needs: heavier hardware, more cycles per day, loading bays that have to stay tight against the weather. Alongside our residential work, we look after sectional and rolling doors for shops, garages and warehouses.
Repair & Maintenance
Tune-ups are the heart of this group.
Garage Door Safety InspectionIt has been a hard winter.
Garage Door Tune-UpThe door lands with a thud you can feel through the kitchen floor, and sometimes it bounces back up a few centimetres before settling.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetOne side of the door hangs a hand's width lower than the other.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementFrom outside, the horizontal groove between two sections now steps sideways by a centimetre.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementEvery mild afternoon the snow melts off the car, runs to the door, and by morning the rubber strip along the bottom is frozen to the concrete.
Garage Door Perimeter WeatherstripThe new door went in last year and looks perfect, but the old wooden stop and its tired seal were left in place.
Garage Door Manual Lock RepairThe outside handle wobbles in your hand and the inside knob spins round and round with nothing attached.
Springs & Hardware
If the opener sounds like it is lifting a piano, the springs have probably weakened.
Garage Door Roller ReplacementEvery morning the door announces itself: a rattle on the way up, a grinding squeal on the way down, loud enough that the neighbours know when you leave.
Garage Door Hinge ReplacementThe roller at the top of the second panel is leaning outward and only half of the wheel is still in the track.
Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementYou bought the house with a door that sticks near the top of its travel.
Garage Door Cable ReplacementThe cable has wrapped itself around the shaft above the door instead of sitting on its drum.
Torsion Spring ReplacementLooking up at the coil above the door, you can see a clean split with a gap of several centimetres between the two halves.
Extension Spring ReplacementThe door climbs with the left corner ahead of the right, then twists as it turns into the ceiling track.
Garage Door Balance AdjustmentSomeone replaced the springs a while back and the door has bounced at the top ever since.
Openers & Access
Access is about convenience and control: who can open the door, from where, and how you know it closed.
Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and RepairYou press the remote from the driveway and hear the motor hum overhead, a steady drone with no movement behind it.
Chain-Drive Opener RepairPress the button and the opener hums for a second, then quits.
Belt-Drive Opener RepairAfter the power came back you pulled the red cord to get the car out.
Garage Door Opener ReplacementYou want the ceiling back.
Photo-Eye Sensor Alignment or ReplacementSince shelving went up along the garage wall, the door will not close and both sensor lights are dead.
Garage Door Remote and Keypad ProgrammingSomeone in the family tried to add a remote, held the button on the ceiling unit a little too long, and now every remote in the house is dead at once.
Smart Garage Controller SetupA smart hub arrived in the mail with a coin-cell sensor and two wires.
Emergency Release RepairSomeone pulled the cord last spring to get a car out during an outage, and the door has never properly rejoined the opener.
Installation & Upgrades
Style, insulation, windows, colour and noise are the five things most people weigh when choosing a door.
Sectional Garage Door ReplacementA planned exterior renovation has made the old door stand out for the wrong reasons.
Insulated Steel Garage Door InstallationA refreshed exterior has made the faded garage door stand out.
Wind-Rated Garage Door ReplacementNew windows would improve the door's appearance, but they also change the section layout and reinforcement pattern.
Carriage-House Garage Door InstallationA front elevation update has brought new trim, lighting and a deeper colour palette, leaving the garage door as the remaining piece.
Full-View Glass Garage Door InstallationA damaged glazed door has mismatched sections and uneven movement.
New-Construction Garage Door InstallationA beam, sloped ceiling or duct crosses the space above the new opening.
Commercial Sectional Door RepairEach opening cycle brings a metallic knock followed by a shudder through the horizontal track.
Commercial Rolling Door RepairA metallic clatter now comes from inside the hood whenever the curtain coils.
High-Lift Garage Door ConversionThe garage has a tall ceiling, yet the horizontal tracks sit much lower than the lights and joists.
