Common Garage Door Issues Requiring After-Hour Repairs
Garage doors, like any mechanical system, can experience various malfunctions. Some of the most frequent issues that require prompt attention, especially outside of normal business hours, include broken springs, malfunctioning openers, and bent tracks. These problems can quickly escalate from minor inconveniences to significant safety hazards.

Track repair involves careful assessment of the damage, and often entails realignment or replacement of the track components, restoring smooth operation.
Other Common Repairs
