Affordable Garage Door Repairs in Las Vegas

Garage doors are a significant investment, both in terms of initial cost and ongoing maintenance. Given the heavy loads that the springs must bear and the frequent use they endure daily, it’s not surprising that garage door breakdowns are a common occurrence.

Many of the complaints we receive from our clients involve broken springs or other part-specific issues that can easily be overlooked during installation. Our ability to detect and anticipate these seemingly minor issues is what sets us apart from other repair service providers in Las Vegas.

Our professionals know that torsion springs are designed to last at least ten years or 10,000 cycles. Proper installation ensures you get the best value for your money, prevents business disruptions, and reduces the risk of accidents and injuries in your garage. If you notice a spring malfunction or suspect an imminent failure in the system, don’t hesitate to call us. One of our experts will come to your location, inspect the door, and recommend the necessary repairs to get everything back in working order.

What Are the Signs I Need to Repair My Garage Door?

If your garage door isn’t opening or closing properly, there could be several potential causes, such as broken springs, misaligned tracks, malfunctioning sensors, or an out-of-alignment photo-eye. These are just a few examples of issues that may need repair. Certain telltale signs can help you diagnose a malfunctioning garage door, but it’s important to reach out to a professional to handle the repairs and ensure the problem is resolved correctly.

A key sign that your garage door needs repair is if it’s unbalanced. An unbalanced door can put extra strain on the springs, leading to breakage and potential failure of the door. In some cases, your garage door may simply need new torsion springs, which is a relatively inexpensive fix. However, because these are heavy-duty components, additional costs may arise if other parts have been bent or damaged.

If your garage door is moving slowly, it may be due to a lack of proper lubrication or simply old age. If you’ve added lubrication to the hinges and the door is still slow, it could indicate a deeper issue with the door’s mechanics, which can be dangerous if not addressed promptly.

 

Any jerking or excessive shaking of your garage door likely indicates that the rollers are off track or that there are loose screws or hinges. This excessive movement can lead to more serious problems, so it’s recommended to contact a professional as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Does Garage Repair or Replacement Have a Good Return on Investment (ROI)?

Yes, many homeowners see a significant return on investment when they replace their garage doors. Why? Because a new garage door can significantly increase the value of your home. Homes with updated garage doors are much more attractive to prospective buyers compared to those with older, outdated doors. If you’re considering selling your home soon, investing in a garage door replacement could help you maximize your sale price.

Always Work with a Professional

 

No matter how skilled you are with DIY projects, it’s never advisable to attempt repairing a garage door on your own. Operating a broken garage door, or trying to fix it yourself, can be extremely dangerous. The professionals at Open Sesame have the expertise and equipment needed to safely diagnose and resolve the issue. Additionally, all our technicians are fully insured, so in the unlikely event of an accident, both you and our team are covered.

While it’s highly inadvisable to work with a broken garage door, business operations shouldn’t come to a standstill due to a pair of faulty springs. Always call a garage door repair professional to address the issue. In the meantime, these tips can help keep your garage functioning:

  • Don’t force the door open or closed. If you’re struggling to operate the door, it’s best to avoid using it altogether. Garage doors can weigh up to 500 pounds, and a small mistake could result in costly damage or serious injury.

  • Keep the opener engaged. If the door stops working while open, or if you manage to open a broken door, leave the opener engaged. It may be the only support holding the door up, preventing it from crashing down.

  • Call Open Sesame Garage Doors. Contact our professionals as soon as possible. Explaining the issue to us in detail will help us prepare for the task and allow us to offer safety tips to follow before we arrive.
