What We See Most in Van Nuys
Because Van Nuys has a lot of rental and multi-unit properties, we often work with property managers who need clear, itemized pricing and fast turnaround — a broken garage door on a rental is both an inconvenience and a security gap. We also see a good number of older doors that have taken on extra wear from frequent use in busier households.

Common Garage Door Problems We Help With
Not sure what's wrong? Here's a quick guide — but if in doubt, stop using the door and call us before it gets worse.
Door won't open or close
Could be a broken spring, cable, or opener issue. Stop using the door if it feels stuck or unusually heavy.
Door slams shut
Usually a sign of a broken spring, which removes the counterbalance that controls the door's descent. Don't stand underneath it.
Door feels extremely heavy
A healthy door should lift with one hand. A heavy door almost always means a failed spring — stop forcing it.
Broken torsion or extension spring
You may see a visible gap in the spring or hear a loud bang. These are under high tension — never attempt DIY replacement.
Snapped or loose cable
A frayed or detached cable can let the door fall unevenly. Keep the area clear and call for repair.
Door is off track or crooked
The door may bind, stick, or hang unevenly. Continuing to operate it can cause it to fall.
Grinding, squeaking, popping, or banging
Usually rollers, hinges, or hardware wearing down or loosening — often fixable with a tune-up.
Opener runs but door doesn't move
Often a broken drive gear, disconnected trolley, or a spring/cable failure — the motor and the door mechanism aren't the same thing.
Door reverses after closing
Usually a sensor alignment issue or a safety feature responding to an obstruction — worth checking before it traps something.
Remote or keypad not working
Could be battery, programming, or a receiver issue in the opener itself.
Bent or cracked panels
Affects both looks and structural integrity — sometimes a single panel can be replaced instead of the whole door.
Door shakes while moving
Often loose hardware or worn rollers — left alone, it tends to get worse and louder over time.
If your door feels unusually heavy, won't stay open, or you see a broken spring or cable, stop using it and keep people and pets clear. These are safety issues, not just inconveniences — a professional inspection is the safer path.
