Garage Door FAQ — Atwater
Answers to common garage door questions for Atwater homeowners.
How quickly can you fix my broken springs?
In most cases, we can repair or replace broken springs the same day you call. Our trucks are stocked with the most common spring sizes, allowing our technicians to complete most repairs in a single visit. For emergency situations, we offer priority scheduling to get your garage door operational as quickly as possible.
What causes broken springs in garage doors?
Garage door springs typically break due to normal wear and tear over time. Most springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and one close). Factors that can accelerate wear include extreme temperature fluctuations, lack of maintenance, rust and corrosion, and improper spring sizing. We recommend annual maintenance to extend spring life and prevent unexpected failures.

What should I do if my garage door won't open?
First, check if your opener has power and the remote batteries are fresh. Try the wall button to rule out remote issues. If the door still won't open, check for any visible obstructions or broken springs. Never try to force a door open - this can cause injury or further damage. Call us for a professional diagnosis and we'll have you back in operation quickly.
