What Constitutes a Garage Door Emergency?

While we're happy to help with any garage door issue at any time, certain situations truly qualify as emergencies requiring immediate attention:

Door Won't Close - Home Security at Risk

A garage door that won't close leaves your home, vehicles, and belongings exposed and vulnerable. Whether it's due to broken springs, a failed opener, or another issue, this situation demands immediate resolution. We respond urgently to ensure your home is secure before nightfall or inclement weather.

Door Won't Open - Vehicle Trapped Inside

When your car is trapped inside the garage and you have places to be—work, appointments, picking up children—every minute counts. We understand the stress of this situation and prioritize these calls to get you mobile as quickly as possible.

Broken Spring

A broken spring typically announces itself with a loud bang that sounds like a gunshot. The door becomes extremely heavy—too heavy for the opener to lift safely. Never attempt to operate a door with a broken spring. Call us immediately for safe professional repair.

Door Off Track

A door that has jumped its tracks is a serious safety hazard. The door can bind, fall unexpectedly, or cause further damage if operated. Stop using the door immediately and call for emergency service.

Cable Break

Broken lift cables can cause the door to hang crookedly or fall suddenly. Like spring breaks, this requires immediate professional attention to prevent injury and further property damage.

Storm or Accident Damage

Severe weather, vehicle impacts, or other accidents can leave your garage door damaged and your home exposed. We respond quickly to storm damage calls to secure your property and assess repair or replacement needs.

Security Breach

If your garage door has been damaged in an attempted break-in, you need immediate repairs to restore security. We prioritize these calls and work to get your home secure as quickly as possible.

Our Emergency Response Process

Immediate Dispatch: When you call with an emergency, we don't ask you to wait until morning or schedule you for "the next available appointment." A technician is dispatched immediately to your location.

Fast Arrival: We typically arrive within 1-2 hours throughout the Birmingham metropolitan area, including Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, and surrounding communities.

Fully Equipped: Our service vehicles carry parts for the most common emergency repairs, including springs of various sizes, cables, rollers, hinges, and opener components. This allows us to complete most repairs on the first visit.

Complete, Proper Repair: We don't just patch problems temporarily or make unsafe fixes to "get you through the night." We make proper repairs that restore safe, reliable operation for the long term.

Fair, Transparent Pricing: Emergency service doesn't mean price gouging. Our rates remain fair and transparent regardless of when you call. We provide upfront pricing before beginning work, just as we do for scheduled appointments.

What to Do While Waiting for Emergency Service

If Your Door Won't Close:

• Try disconnecting the opener (pull the emergency release cord) and manually lowering the door
• If the door won't move manually, try to secure valuable items inside the garage
• If possible, use tarps or other materials to provide temporary weather protection
• Keep children and pets away from the door area

If You Heard a Loud Bang (Broken Spring):

• Do NOT attempt to operate the door—it's under extreme stress
• Keep everyone away from the door
• If you need to leave urgently and have another exit, use that instead

If the Door is Off Track or Hanging Crookedly:

• Stop operating the door immediately
• Do not attempt to force the door back onto the track
• Keep the area clear until help arrives
