Common Garage Door Repairs
1. Garage Door Spring Repair
Broken garage door springs are one of the most common problems homeowners face. In South Florida, most homes are equipped with either torsion or extension spring systems, which are designed to offset the heavy weight of the garage door and allow it to move smoothly. While these springs are built to last thousands of cycles, they will eventually wear down and snap.
Torsion springs usually last 15,000–20,000 cycles (around 7–10 years).
Extension springs average 10,000 cycles (roughly 5–7 years).
When a spring breaks, your door may slam shut, get stuck, or become dangerous to operate. Our technicians handle garage door spring repair and replacement safely and efficiently. We use only high-quality replacement springs to restore balance, ensure smooth operation, and keep your family and property safe.
2. Garage Door Cable Repair
Cables run alongside the springs and are essential to keeping your door level. If they fray, snap, or stretch, the door can tilt to one side, jam, or even come off the track. Often, cable damage happens in combination with a broken spring, but regular wear and tear can also be the culprit. Our team provides professional garage door cable repair in South Florida, replacing worn or broken cables so your door operates smoothly and safely.
3. GARAGE DOOR PANEL REPAIR & REPLACEMENT
Your garage door panels are more than decorative — they act as a barrier against South Florida’s harsh weather. Dents, cracks, and rust can not only hurt curb appeal but also weaken your door’s structure. In cases of severe impact or storm damage, replacement may be the best option. The Door Doctor offers both panel repair and full replacement, helping homeowners restore their garage doors to like-new condition while ensuring long-lasting durability.
4. WEATHERSTRIPPING REPLACEMENT
Weatherstripping seals the gaps around your garage door, protecting your garage from rain, pests, and humidity. As seals age, they flatten, crack, or pull away, letting in water and hot air that drive up energy costs. We provide garage door weatherstripping replacement with durable products matched to your door. A new seal improves comfort, efficiency, and protection for your home.
5. Track Repair
Your garage door’s tracks guide the rollers and keep the system aligned. Bent or damaged tracks can lead to loud noises, jerky movement, or even cause the door to stop working altogether. Our technicians perform thorough inspections and track repair services, making adjustments or installing replacements when needed to restore smooth, reliable operation.
6. Misaligned Garage Door Repair
A garage door that doesn’t sit evenly or rubs against the frame can be more than just an annoyance — it’s a sign of misalignment. Causes range from worn-out hardware to broken springs or cables. Common symptoms include:
Large gaps beneath the door
A crooked or uneven door
Difficulty opening or closing
Our experts specialize in off-track and misaligned garage door repair, making adjustments and replacing damaged parts to bring your door back into proper alignment.
7. Drum Repair & Replacement
Garage door drums are mounted above the door and work with the cables to raise and lower it. Over time, these metal parts can crack or warp, causing cables to slip and putting your system at risk. We offer drum inspections and replacements, ensuring that your counterbalance system stays secure and your door operates reliably.
8. ROLLER REPAIR & REPLACEMENT
Rollers are small wheels that help your garage door glide along the tracks. If they become worn or fall out, you may hear squeaking, grinding, or notice uneven movement. Our technicians can clean, lubricate, or fully replace rollers as part of our garage door repair services, giving you a quieter, smoother door with longer-lasting performance.
9. GARAGE DOOR OPENER REPAIR
For more than half of homeowners, the garage door is the main entry point to the house. When the opener fails, it disrupts your routine and compromises security. Problems may include electrical issues, worn gears, faulty sensors, or a broken chain or belt. The Door Doctor provides comprehensive garage door opener repair in South Florida, working on all brands and models. From reprogramming remotes to replacing damaged components, we’ll restore dependable access to your home.
10. EMERGENCY GARAGE DOOR REPAIR
When your garage door won’t open before work or won’t close at night, you need help immediately. Delaying repairs can leave your car trapped or your home unsecured. That’s why The Door Doctor offers 24/7 emergency garage door repair services across Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade Counties.

FAQ: Garage Door Repairs & Problems
My garage door won’t open, what should I do?
A garage door not opening can often be the result of a broken spring garage door, opener failure, or track issue. Trying to force the door open yourself can be unsafe. Contact The Door Doctor for professional garage door repair — our technicians provide fast, reliable service throughout South Florida.
Is it possible to replace just one section of my garage door?
Yes, if only one panel is damaged, a section can sometimes be replaced without a full installation. If the damage is extensive, though, a complete garage door installation is usually the better long-term solution. Our garage door professionals will assess and recommend the best option.
Can I install a new torsion spring by myself?
No. Handling a broken spring garage door repair yourself is extremely dangerous. Always call a professional garage door repair service for spring replacement.
Why does my garage door sometimes open by itself?
This may be caused by a wiring or transmitter issue. If your system opens on its own, contact The Door Doctor of South Florida for immediate garage door repair service. We provide trusted garage door repair and installation support in Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and surrounding areas.
My garage door spring just broke — can I still use my door?
A broken spring garage door should never be operated, as it puts strain on the opener and can cause serious injury or damage. Springs carry the full weight of your door, and when they snap, the system is unsafe. Call The Door Doctor of South Florida for professional garage door spring repair or replacement.
My garage door makes a lot of noise — how can I quiet it down?
Noise often comes from worn rollers, loose hardware, or a failing opener. Regular garage door maintenance and lubrication can reduce most sounds. If the opener is the issue, we may recommend garage door opener repair or installing a quieter model.
What happens if my garage door cable breaks?
Garage door cables work together with springs to lift the door. If a cable breaks, the door may become unbalanced, crooked, or stuck. Attempting a DIY garage door cable repair is dangerous, so it’s best to call our garage door repair professionals to replace the cables safely.
My garage door came off its track — what should I do?
A door that’s off track won’t open or close properly and can damage rollers, tracks, and panels if forced. If you notice your garage door is off track, stop using it immediately. Contact The Door Doctor of South Florida for same-day garage door repair services to reset and realign the system.
Why do garage door rollers need to be replaced?
Worn or broken rollers can cause your garage door to shake, grind, or jam. Replacing rollers is part of regular garage door maintenance and keeps your system running smoothly. We offer professional garage door roller replacement to restore quiet, safe operation.
Why won’t my garage door remote work?
If your garage door remote isn’t working, it may be due to dead batteries, signal interference, or issues with the opener itself. Our garage opener repair services include troubleshooting remotes and replacing them if needed. We also provide universal garage door remotes that can be programmed to your system.
My garage door won’t close. Could it be the sensors?
Yes, if the sensors are dirty, misaligned, or malfunctioning, the door may refuse to close. Garage door sensor problems are a common issue, especially in South Florida where dust and humidity can interfere with them. Our garage door repair professionals clean, realign, or replace faulty sensors to restore safe operation.
