Why do a garage door repair? Your garage door is the largest, most direct way into your home – which also makes it the most important entry point.  Having a faulty garage door is not a joke, and calling professionals to take care of your garage door repair should be the first step.

It is quite common for homeowners in Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Durham and Barrie to live with a faulty electric opener, or a slow loading overhead door – not because they don’t care but merely because they are uneducated towards garage door repairs and don’t realize that help is around the corner.

Below you will find a few garage door problems with the corresponding solution:

Problem:

Garage door will not open or close properly, or at all.

Solution:

9 times out of ten a problem with your garage door not opening or closing has to do with your electric opener.  Double check the batteries, as well as the keypad for any damage.  Often a remote reprogram usually works!

Problem:

Door sticks when sliding open and shut.

Solution:

If your garage door is sticky and sluggish, this doesn’t mean it needs to be repaired or have a complete overhaul (though we always appreciate your business)!  Often the tracks are a bit dirty and need cleaning or it could be a combination of hinges and rollers needing to be re-lubricated.

A little maintenance goes a long way, and with preventing unnecessary garage door repairs this is no different.  Remember to call your local Door Doctor with any garage door repair questions you may have – you may also fill out the form to your right and have a Door Doctor representative call you at a time that is convenient to you.
