My door froze to the driveway. What now?
Do not run the opener. Disengage it with the red cord and lift gently by hand. If it stays stuck, wait for a thaw or call us.
Why is my garage door so loud inside the house?
Under-house garages carry sound upward. Worn steel rollers and chain-drive openers are the usual causes, and nylon rollers or a belt drive quiet them.
Does road salt damage garage doors?
Yes. Salt melts onto the garage floor and rusts the bottom panel, brackets and cable ends. Rinsing them each spring helps.
Is it dangerous to lift a door with a broken spring?
Yes. The full weight of the door lands on you. Keep it closed and call.
What brands of door and opener do you work on?
All the major ones, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton.
Can most repairs be done the same day?
Often, yes. We carry common springs, cables, rollers and opener parts.
How do I book a visit?
Call (724) 634-4887. There is no online form.
How much is a new garage door spring in Penn Township?
This site's price table lists a single torsion spring at $185 to $355, both springs on a two-spring door at $285 to $525 and a pair of extension springs at $150 to $325.
Why did my spring break in the cold?
Stiff lubricant plus a seal frozen to the floor puts extra load on a spring that was already worn.
Do both springs need replacing?
If your door has two, yes. They are the same age and the second is near the end of its life.
How can I tell the spring is broken?
Look for a gap in the coil on the bar above the door, or a loose spring along the side track.
Is a higher-cycle spring worth it?
If the garage is your main entrance, it usually is, because it lasts longer under heavy use.
How much does opener repair cost here?
This site's price table lists a diagnosis and minor fix at $125 to $245 and a chain or belt-drive replacement at $230 to $555.
Which opener is quietest for an under-house garage?
A belt drive or a wall-mount jackshaft opener.
Why does my door go back up before it closes?
The safety sensors are usually blocked or out of line. Clean the lenses and check that both lights are steady.
Can a frozen door damage my opener?
Yes. When the motor strains against a door locked down by ice, the drive gear can strip.
What does a smart opener cost installed?
This site's price table lists it at $385 to $605.
What does a new door cost in Penn Township?
This site's price table lists a single steel door at $685 to $1,210, a single insulated door at $1,020 to $1,890 and a two-car door at $1,570 to $3,450.
Should I insulate a door under a bedroom?
Yes. An insulated door is quieter and helps keep the room above warmer.
Can you fit a door on an uneven floor?
Yes. We fit the bottom seal so it closes evenly across a floor that slopes.
Do you remove the old door?
Yes. The old door, track and springs are hauled away.
Is a glass door practical here?
It can be on a sheltered, modern home, but insulated steel is the more common choice in our winters.
Is someone available overnight?

Should I pry a frozen door loose?
No. Prying can bend the bottom panel or tear the seal. Call instead.
How much to put a door back on its track?

What does a cable repair cost?
