Most garage door problems come down to one worn or broken part: a spring, a cable, a set of rollers or the opener. Fix that part and the door runs like it should again.
When a door has been hit by a car, has several cracked sections, or keeps failing after repairs, replacing it is usually the better spend. SoCal Garage Door Pros inspects the whole system and gives you both options with prices, so you can decide with the numbers in front of you.
Door stuck open or closed?
Call us and we'll help you secure it safely until a technician gets there.
What we repair and replace
We work on the whole door system, not just the part that failed, because one worn component usually puts extra strain on the others.
Door & hardware repair
Hinges, brackets, tracks, rollers, cables, springs, weather seals and bottom rubber, replaced with parts matched to your door.
Opener repair & replacement
Sensors, gears, logic boards and remotes repaired, or a new quiet belt-drive, chain-drive or wall-mount opener installed.
Panel & section replacement
Dented, cracked or rotted sections swapped out when matching panels are still available for your door.
Full door replacement
A new steel, insulated, carriage-style or modern glass door, installed with new tracks, springs and hardware.
Repair or replace?
Repair usually makes sense when…
One part has failed, the door is otherwise straight and solid, and it's been running well up to now. Springs, cables, rollers and openers are all fixable on their own.
Replacement usually makes sense when…
Several sections are bent or cracked, the door was hit by a vehicle, parts are no longer made for it, or you're paying for repairs every year. A new door is also quieter, safer and often better insulated.
Signs your garage door needs repair
A small problem caught early is usually a quicker, cheaper fix. Call if you notice any of these:
- The door won't open or close all the wayOften a broken spring, a slipped cable or an opener problem.
- Grinding, scraping or banging soundsWorn rollers, dry hinges or a bent track rubbing as the door moves.
- The door sits crooked or shakesA cable, roller or track issue is pulling one side out of line.
- Visible damage to a panelDents and cracks can weaken the door and stop it sealing properly.
- The door reverses or stops on its ownUsually the safety sensors or the opener's force settings.
Safety first. If your door is stuck partway, crooked or hanging on one side, don't force it with the opener or by hand. Keep people and cars clear and call a technician.
