Broken springs, snapped cables, doors off their tracks and openers that stopped responding. NovaLift Garage Doors repairs garage doors for homeowners in Hollywood and across South Florida.
Most garage door failures come down to a few parts working under a lot of tension. Each repair has its own page, so you can read about the problem you actually have.
Torsion springs above the door and extension springs along the tracks carry most of the door's weight. When one breaks, the door suddenly feels far heavier and the opener may strain or stop. Leave the door closed and call.
Spring RepairDoors that stick, shake, grind, sit uneven or stop halfway, including worn rollers, hinges and loose hardware.
Motor hums but nothing moves, remote or keypad stopped working, or the safety sensors won't let the door close.
Frayed, loose or snapped lift cables, often the reason one side of the door hangs lower than the other.
Rollers out of the track and a door that's jammed, leaning or crooked. Don't run the opener.
You don't need to know which part failed. Pick what the door is doing and go to the repair that covers it.
Off track or a broken spring? Avoid forcing the door to move. Unplug the opener, keep people and cars clear of the doorway, and call.
Call and describe what you're seeing and hearing: the noise, the angle, or what happens when you press the button.
The same symptom can have more than one cause, so a garage door problem is usually diagnosed at the door itself.
Talk through what the problem may involve and the repair options available.
Whether and when to go ahead with the repair is your call.

All Service AreasIt isn't a good idea. The springs carry most of the door's weight, and without them the door can drop quickly once it's off the floor. Leave it closed and keep people and cars clear.
A common cause is the pair of safety sensors near the floor. They have to see each other, so a bumped bracket, a dirty lens or something in the doorway will make the opener reverse. The opener's settings or a binding door can cause the same thing, which is why it's worth having it looked at.
No. Running the opener or pulling on the door can bend the track and panels. Unplug the opener and leave the door where it is.
