Door Repair
From worn rollers and snapped cables to damaged struts, drums, and safety sensors - our technicians repair every component of your garage door system, right the first time.
Cable
Repair & Replacement
Lift cables transfer the spring's force to the door, raising and lowering it smoothly. A snapped or fraying cable is one of the most dangerous garage door failures - the door can crash down with full weight. This is never a DIY repair; call us immediately.
- 7×19 galvanized aircraft-grade cable replacement standard
- Both cables replaced simultaneously for balanced operation
- Bottom bracket inspection and replacement if damaged
- Cable drum and pulley alignment corrected during service
- Emergency same-day service for snapped cable situations
Drum
Replacement
Drums are the cable-winding components at each end of the torsion bar. They spool the lift cables as the door opens and unwind as it closes. A cracked, chipped, or misaligned drum causes cables to slip, fray, and eventually snap - leaving the door stuck.
- Standard and high-lift drum replacement for all door heights
- Cable groove inspection to prevent fraying and slipping
- Set screw tightening and drum-to-bar alignment verification
- Paired drum replacement recommended for even cable spooling
- Available in multiple sizes for standard, high-lift, and vertical-lift systems
Roller
Replacement
Rollers guide your garage door along the tracks. When they wear out - made of steel or nylon - the door becomes noisy, jerky, and can jump off the tracks entirely. Worn rollers put extra stress on your opener, springs, and cables.
- 10-ball nylon rollers available - significantly quieter than standard steel
- Both side-hinged and center-pin roller styles replaced
- Track alignment checked and corrected during service
- Full lubrication of all rollers and hinges included
- Extends the life of your opener and spring system
Safety Sensor
Replacement
Photo-eye safety sensors sit at the base of your garage door and send an invisible beam across the opening. If the beam is broken while the door is closing, it reverses automatically — a critical safety feature required by law since 1993. Misaligned, dirty, or failed sensors cause your door to reverse for no reason or worse, not reverse when it should.
- Sensor alignment restored for reliable beam detection
- Full sensor unit replacement for faulty or damaged sensors
- Wiring inspection and repair for intermittent sensor faults
- Auto-reverse force and sensitivity tested after every service
- Compatible with all major opener brands — LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie
Bar
Repair & Alignment
The torsion bar (spring bar) and track bars are critical structural components that keep your spring system centered and your tracks aligned. A bent or damaged bar causes uneven spring tension, track misalignment, and dangerous operation.
- Torsion bars straightened or replaced to restore proper spring tension
- Vertical and horizontal track adjustment and realignment
- Track section replacement for damaged or dented sections
- Safety inspection of all bar-to-bracket connections
- Prevents premature wear on springs, cables, and rollers
Strut
Repair & Replacement
Struts are horizontal steel braces that reinforce each door panel, preventing bowing and warping. A bent or missing strut causes your door to flex, crack, and lose structural integrity - especially in Denver's temperature extremes.
- Bent, cracked, and broken struts replaced with heavy-gauge steel
- Top strut replacement for doors with torsion spring systems
- Reinforcement strut upgrades for wider, heavier doors
- Prevents panel damage from wind pressure and impact
- Improves insulation performance on insulated panels
When to Call Immediately
Some garage door symptoms require urgent professional attention - don't ignore these warning signs.
Door Crashed Down Suddenly
A cable or spring failure can cause the door to drop with full weight. Stop using the door immediately and call us for emergency service.
Loud Grinding or Screeching
Metal-on-metal sounds from rollers or tracks indicate serious wear that will quickly escalate to complete failure if left untreated.
Door Sits Visibly Crooked
A misaligned door puts enormous strain on the entire system. Continuing to use it can damage panels, tracks, and the opener motor.
Visible Cable Fraying
Frayed or kinked lift cables are a serious safety hazard. A snapped cable under full spring tension can cause severe injury.
Opener Strains But Door Won't Move
If the motor runs but the door barely moves or stops mid-travel, a mechanical component has likely failed and needs immediate inspection.
Stiff Operation in Cold Weather
Denver's freeze-thaw cycles are hard on rollers and cables. Annual maintenance prevents winter failures that leave you stranded in the cold.

Garage Door Repair FAQs
Answers to the most common repair questions from Boulder County homeowners.
Look for fraying, kinking, or rust on the cables. A broken cable usually causes one side of the door to hang lower than the other or the door to open unevenly. Never operate the door if you suspect a broken cable - it can cause sudden collapse.
Grinding usually means worn rollers or metal-on-metal contact from lack of lubrication. Squeaking often points to dry hinges or tracks. While a silicone-based spray can help temporarily, persistent noise usually means parts need professional replacement.
Standard nylon rollers last about 5-7 years. Steel rollers last longer but are noisier. If your rollers are cracked, chipped, or wobbling in the track, they should be replaced right away to prevent further damage to the track and door panels.
Minor bends can sometimes be carefully straightened by a technician. However, severely bent or misaligned tracks should be fully replaced. Running the door on a damaged track accelerates wear on rollers, cables, and can eventually damage the panels themselves.
