Garage door emergency? Car trapped? Spring snapped?
What counts as a garage-door emergency?
An off-track door (especially hanging at an angle), a car trapped inside with the door stuck, a broken spring with the door stuck open exposing the house, a commercial dock or storefront down at a business, or an opener smoking or sparking. Noisy doors, slow openers, dead remotes, and cosmetic dents can wait for the next regular slot.
My car is trapped inside and the door won't open - how do I get it out?
Don't force it open. If the spring or cable failed, forcing it can drop the door. If the spring is intact and only the opener is broken, the red emergency-release cord lets you lift the door manually; if the spring is broken, do not pull the release. Call us - car-trapped-inside is a true emergency and we dispatch within hours.
My spring just snapped - is it safe to lift the door manually?
No. A broken torsion spring removes the counterweight, so the door becomes its full 150 to 200 pounds of dead weight on the cables and opener. Lifting it manually is how people hurt their back, snap the other cable, or drop a panel. Leave it where it is and call us.
What should I NOT do while I wait for the tech?
Don't force the door open or closed, don't lift it manually with a broken spring, and don't pull the opener's emergency release while the door is in the up position - it can drop. Stand clear and let the door rest where it is until we arrive.
How fast can you get to a Clifton emergency?
Usually within hours. Tell dispatch the address and the nature of the emergency and the closest available tech is routed to you. For commercial dock-down or storefront emergencies in Clifton, we'll pull a tech off a non-emergency job to get to you.
