Garage Door Problems We See in Sundance Homes

Every part of Calgary deals with cold winters, but a few problems come up again and again in established communities like Sundance.

Springs reach the end of their life. Most standard torsion springs are rated for about 10,000 cycles. A family that opens the door four times a day will use that up in roughly seven years. If your springs are original, they are due. Our guide to spring replacement costs in Calgary explains what to expect.

Cold mornings make weak parts fail. Grease on rollers and hinges thickens below freezing, rubber seals stiffen, and melting snow can freeze the bottom of the door to the concrete. A door that was only slightly off in October can stop working in January. If yours is stuck, read how to free a garage door frozen to the concrete before you try the opener again.

Chinooks cause quick temperature swings. A chinook can lift the temperature by 20 degrees or more in an afternoon. Metal and rubber expand and contract, seals crack and hardware works loose. Our post on how extreme cold affects your garage door in Alberta covers what to watch for.

Older openers get loud and unreliable. If your opener is more than 15 years old, repairs may cost more than a new unit. See belt vs chain vs screw drive openers and whether a smart WiFi opener is worth it.

Worn seals leak heat. If your garage is attached to your house, gaps around the door make the room above it colder and raise your heating bill. Replacing seals is a small job with a noticeable result.

Signs You Need a Repair Today

Call us the same day if you notice any of these:

A loud bang from the garage, followed by a door that will not lift
The opener runs but the door only rises a few inches (see why a garage door opens a few inches then stops)
One side of the door hangs lower than the other
Frayed, loose or snapped cables
The door has come off its track
The door reverses and will not close (our LiftMaster sensor and blink code guide is a good first check)

If you think a spring or cable has broken, leave the door alone. Keep people and vehicles clear, do not try to lift it by hand, and do not loosen any bolts on the spring or the brackets. These parts hold a lot of stored force and cause serious injuries every year. If the power is out and your springs are fine, here is how to open a garage door manually.

Repair or Replace Your Sundance Garage Door?

Most problems are worth repairing. A broken spring, a snapped cable, a bad sensor or a dented panel can usually be fixed for a fraction of the cost of a new door.

Replacement starts to make sense when the door is more than 20 years old and has several worn parts, when more than one or two panels are damaged, when the sections are no longer made, or when you want better insulation and a quieter door. Our honest advice comes first, and you can compare options in these guides:

If you decide on a new door, our new garage door installation team can measure, supply and install it. Not sure what size you have? Use our guide on what size garage door you need.

Garage Door Repair in Sundance: Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer same-day garage door repair in Sundance?
Yes. We run 24/7 emergency service across Calgary, and in most cases we can reach you the same day or within 24 hours. Call 587 223 5757 for a current arrival time.

How much does a garage door spring replacement cost in Sundance?
Spring replacement starts at $349 plus 5% GST. The final price depends on your door’s size and weight and the type of spring it needs. You will see a written quote before any work begins.

Why will my garage door not open when it is cold?
Cold thickens the grease on rollers and hinges, stiffens rubber seals and can freeze the bottom of the door to the concrete. Clear any ice at the base and do not force the opener. If the door still will not move, a spring or cable may have failed.

Can I fix a broken garage door spring myself?
No. Springs hold a large amount of stored force, and a mistake can cause serious injury. Keep clear of the door and call a trained technician.

How do I know if the problem is the spring or the opener?
If the opener runs but the door lifts only a few inches or not at all, the cause is usually a broken spring. If you hear nothing and the door does not respond, check the power, remote batteries and sensors first, then call us.

Should I repair or replace a 20-year-old garage door?
Repair it if the damage is limited and the rest of the door is solid. Consider replacing it if several parts are worn, panels are damaged or you want better insulation. We will give you an honest recommendation after inspecting it.

Is your work covered by a warranty?
Yes. Our work is backed by a warranty on both parts and labour.
