Every door type has its own hardware, its own habits and its own ways of wearing out. We work on all of them, carry parts for the common ones, and know where the odd ones tend to need attention. Bring us the door you have.
Tracks need to be plumb, level across the header and anchored solidly to the framing. A car bump, a loose lag bolt or years of vibration can put them out, and the door pays for it with every cycle. We straighten or replace bent sections, re-anchor the brackets and check the spacing so the rollers ride without binding.
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

Garage door services
Openers, remotes and keypads make up half of what we see, and mechanical parts the other half. Because the two sides affect each other, our technicians check both on every call, whichever service you booked.
Garage Door Safety InspectionOn bright afternoons the door goes down a metre, stops, and climbs back up while the light on the opener blinks.
Garage Door Tune-UpThe door lands with a thud you can feel through the kitchen floor, and sometimes it bounces back up a few centimetres before settling.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetThe morning after a thaw the opener groaned, the door stayed stuck to the icy floor for a second, then lurched up crooked.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementAfter an overnight freeze the door stuck to the slab, the opener strained, and something gave.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementAfter a spring rain there is a puddle inside the door that reaches the tires.
Garage Door Perimeter WeatherstripDry leaves keep appearing in the same corner inside the garage, and this fall there were mouse droppings along the wall beside the door.
Garage Door Manual Lock RepairThe power is out in a storm, you pulled the red cord and lowered the door by hand, and now you want to lock it.
The door came down fine but with a scraping noise, and now the vertical track on one side is bowed away from the wall. Two screws have pulled out of the wood and the roller nearest the floor has no rail around it.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetThere was a sharp crack from the garage, and when you went to look the door had dropped on one side and jammed. A length of cable lies coiled on the floor by the bottom roller.
Garage Door Cable ReplacementYou pulled the red cord to lift the door by hand during a power cut and it felt like lifting a car. The opener has been doing all the work and grumbling about it, and you are not sure how long that can go on.
Garage Door Tune-UpSprings
End bearings and the centre bearing let the torsion shaft turn freely. When they seize, the cables squeal and the spring works against friction it was never meant to fight. Fresh bearings are a small job that changes how the door feels.
On a cold morning the remote does nothing useful: the light comes on, the motor turns briefly, the door stays shut.
The cable has wrapped itself around the shaft above the door instead of sitting on its drum.
The door is the one the builder installed and has never had a part changed.
The small light on one of the sensors near the floor has gone dark, or it flickers when someone walks past the track.
New Doors
Every installation includes the parts nobody sees: the perimeter seal that stops the wind, the threshold that keeps water out, the struts that hold a wide door rigid and the safety cables on extension springs. We fit all of them.
Openers
The motor runs, the chain rattles along the rail, and the door does not move a millimetre. You notice the little carriage sliding back and forth on its own.
The chain in the detached garage went orange with rust over the winter, the links are stiff, and the opener strains and groans to pull the door up. By afternoon, once the garage warms, it behaves almost normally.
The door used to glide up with a soft hum. Now there is a sharp clack every second or so, and if you stand underneath you can see the belt sagging below the rail and slapping it on the way up.
You swapped the old wooden door for a heavier insulated steel one, and the twenty-year-old opener that was kept has never settled. It strains on the way up, stops partway on cold mornings, and the rail shudders with every cycle.
The small light on one of the sensors near the floor has gone dark, or it flickers when someone walks past the track. The other one glows steadily.
Your remote was in the visor when the car was broken into last night. So was the insurance slip with your address on it.
It is February. You come down in the morning and the garage door has stood open all night; the car is frosted inside, the furnace has run without a pause, and the pipe in the shared wall is your first worry.
Halfway up, the door lets go of the opener with a clunk and sinks back to the floor while the trolley carries on to the top alone. It has happened three times this month, and each time the release lever is found half-cocked.
Sensible optionManual lock realignment.
WhyDoors shift over time; adjusting the bar or the track slot restores a lock that seats without forcing.
Sensible optionLock handle and cylinder replacement.
WhyWorn cylinders and handles are replaced as a set so the door is secure again.
Sensible optionLock disable.
WhyAn engaged manual lock can stall the opener; it should be removed or fixed in the open position.
Sensible optionGarage Door Remote and Keypad Programming
WhyOlder openers set their code with a row of tiny switches inside the remote and the receiver, and once those remotes stop being made the door seems stranded.
Sensible optionSmart Garage Controller Setup
WhyBy the end of the visit your phone shows the door's true state, updates within a few seconds of any movement, and keeps a history of every open and close with the time, and the user when the command came from a signed-in app or virtual key.
Sensible optionEmergency Release Repair
WhyWhat gets repaired depends on which link failed.
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
01
Tell us about the problem, the door and a good time to come. We confirm what to expect and roughly how the visit will go.
02
Photo-eyes, the auto-reverse setting and the emergency release are tested on every visit, whatever you called about.
03
We do the agreed repair, explain each part that was changed and why, and run the door with you until you are comfortable with it.
Ontario
2021 Census
About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Extension springs are common on older doors, and they should carry a safety cable through the middle so a broken spring is held rather than flung. Adding those cables is a small job the technician checks for and offers on any older door he services.
Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).
Townhouse rows generally have a narrow single door on each unit, with shared walls on both sides. Noise from a chain opener or dry rollers carries straight into the neighbour's home, so quiet belt-drive openers and nylon rollers are a popular and considerate choice here.
It is better to leave the door where it is and use another way in and out. Running the opener against a crooked or cable-slack door tends to tangle the cable further, twist the top section and knock the door out of its track, which adds to the repair. Pull nothing and adjust nothing; simply keep the opening clear and let the technician take it from there.
Cables tend to live about as long as the springs they work with, often ten years or more on a door used a few times a day, and less on a door that sees heavy use or a wet, salty floor every winter. Rather than a calendar, watch the condition: fraying, rust near the loop or a slack side are the signs the set is due.
The opener is disconnected and the door clamped. The technician identifies the counterbalance type, inspects both cables, the drums, brackets, rollers, track and springs, and explains what is found. The springs are unloaded, the old cables removed, new ones fitted and set so the door is level, and the springs wound back. The door is then balanced by hand, the opener reconnected and its safety features tested while you watch.
Two, and you are invited to watch. With the door closing, an object is passed through the beam and the door has to halt and climb back to the top. A 2x4 laid flat beneath the door's centre comes next; closing onto it must make the door back off on contact. The door is also run from the wall control and a remote, the opener's warning flashes are confirmed gone, and both sensor lights are shown steady.
Not necessarily, and that is fine. The paint colour on the winding cone or coil is a code that identifies wire size and wind direction, and different suppliers use their own schemes, so a matched replacement can carry a different colour than the spring it replaces. What matters is that the wire size, diameter, length and wind direction suit the door's weight and height, which is confirmed by the balance test.
