Problems With Garage Doors in Rochester

There are many things that can affect a garage door and the way it moves. It is enough for one of the rollers to be damaged or broken to take a garage door out of its tracks. When one of the experts from Matalonco Garage Doors arrives to inspect a broken garage door at a customer's location in Rochester New York, we often find that the problem started long before they contacted us, and if they had contacted a local garage door company in Rochester on time, the repair could have cost less than a third of what it will cost now. So the experts of Matalonco Garage Doors always say, and we will say it again: do not wait until it is too late, and until your garage door completely stops working.

If there is something wrong with your overhead door, if the cable is loose or damaged, the spring broke, a roller is bent, or the door is making strange noises, contact a local garage door company in Rochester to come and fix your broken garage door. Besides saving the money you would spend if you waited until the damage got bigger, you will avoid putting yourself or your family members at risk. We at Matalonco Garage Doors offer same day garage door repairs near Rochester New York, and since we carry the parts with us, like garage door springs and rollers, we can fix most broken garage doors in Rochester on the first visit.

Garage Door Spring Repairs Rochester

Whether it is a garage door in Rochester New York or an overhead door in Webster NY, what makes it easy to lift and open even the heaviest overhead doors, which weigh hundreds of pounds, is the door's spring system. The spring system is also what stops the heavy door from crashing into the ground and breaking. When one of the springs breaks, it usually happens while the door is closed (when there is the most tension on the springs), sometimes followed by a loud noise that makes you wonder if the door is completely broken and you will have to call a garage door technician in Rochester to replace it. But there is no need to worry: most of the time the technicians of Matalonco Garage Doors can repair the door by replacing the broken spring with a new high quality spring. We have replaced countless garage door springs in Rochester New York, using high quality springs of the kind that last for many years.

Extension Garage Door Spring

If your garage door in Rochester is equipped with an extension spring system, and hopefully the springs are secured with 2 safety cables, then the damage may be minimal, and replacing the snapped spring (or both springs) will usually solve the problem.

If you own a garage door that moves with the help of extension springs, but there are no safety cables installed, contact a local garage door company in Rochester to install them for you, or install them yourself.

Although safety cables are not necessary for the door to work properly, they are strongly recommended to protect you, your family, and anything that may be near the door when a spring breaks.

Case Study

We had a customer in Rochester who refused to let us install safety cables for him. 4 months later one of the springs snapped, and part of the spring hit the windshield of the car that was inside the garage. Instead of paying $20 for a safety cable, he ended up paying $585 for a new windshield.

Garage Door Torsion Spring

If you are not sure what kind of spring system operates your garage door in Rochester New York, look at the springs and you will know. Extension springs are located on the sides of the door, above the tracks, while torsion springs are wrapped around a metal pipe, usually located at the center of the door, above the opening.

Every garage door has its own size of springs, which are calculated by the size and the weight of the door. If one of your torsion springs broke, please contact us for a same day repair in Rochester NY. Do not assume that a spring that "looks like" or is "almost the same" will make the door work. Not only will the door not work, you will put yourself at risk. Using the wrong spring is dangerous. If you need garage door spring repair, contact a garage door specialist in Rochester NY.

Garage Opener Repair Rochester New York

The garage door openers you can find on the market today, as long as you purchase a high quality opener (such as a LiftMaster opener), can last 20 years and more. If you think about it, it is better to invest in a high quality opener rather than purchase a cheap opener that may need to be repaired or replaced in 3-5 years. We install high quality garage door openers in Rochester New York, like LiftMaster openers, that can easily last for 30 years and more.

Safety Sensors Repair Rochester

One of the problems that prevents a garage door from working properly, whether it is a garage door in Rochester New York or a garage door in Webster New York, is a problem with the garage door safety sensors. Luckily, this problem is usually easy to repair. If you own an automated garage door that operates with an electric opener, you will find 2 safety sensors at the bottom of the garage door tracks, or next to them. They are there for a reason, and the reason is your safety. Federal law requires that every automated garage door, whether in Rochester New York or anywhere else in the US, include a safety feature such as garage door safety sensors.

The safety sensors are located right where people tend to put their cleaning materials or gardening tools, and that usually ends with one of the sensors accidentally moved from its place, breaking the invisible beam that runs between the 2 sensors. If your garage door comes down only halfway and reverses to the open position, followed by a signal from the opener that something is wrong, you may have a safety sensor problem, and you may need safety sensor repair.

In most cases, safety sensor repair is not complicated and can be easily performed. You can try to repair them yourself, or you can contact a local garage door repairman in Rochester to come and repair the safety sensors for you.

Do It Yourself Garage Door Repair

Whenever the experts of Matalonco Garage Doors are asked about do-it-yourself garage door repair, we like to tell the story of a customer who needed garage door repair in Rochester. One evening we received a call from a terrified woman, who told us that her father was locked inside the garage and couldn't get out. Of course we stopped everything and rushed to his home in Rochester NY. We arrived and found that the garage door was down and closed due to a broken torsion spring, and that the person inside was locked in since the door was too heavy to lift.

We quickly started working, and together we were able to open the door, which was a heavy 2-car wooden garage door. Surprisingly, we found an old man inside who looked more amused than terrified.

He told us that he had watched a "do it yourself" garage door spring repair video, which explained how to replace a torsion spring. The first step was to disengage the garage door opener, and so he did, except that the door was halfway down, so once he disengaged the motor, the weight of the door pulled it down and locked him inside. He was lucky that there was a company nearby in Rochester that could help him in less than 20 minutes. Otherwise he could have found himself waiting for hours for someone to help him.

What Repairs You Can Do by Yourself

If you read the story we just told, you probably understand that we are not big fans of do-it-yourself garage door repair. But at the same time, we do encourage garage door owners in Rochester to do some things themselves, such as lubricating their garage door, realigning a safety sensor, and other small repairs that don't require special tools or professional knowledge.

If you decide to repair your garage door by yourself, please make sure that you have the right tools and the matching parts, and please try to stay on the safe side. Remember: no broken garage door in Rochester is worth your health. If you are not sure, if you have a question, or if you think the repair is too much for you, contact a local technician for the service.

Commercial Overhead Door Repair Rochester NY

If you own a commercial garage door in Rochester New York, you probably know that a perfectly working commercial door can save you a lot of time and money that you would otherwise spend. That is the reason we offer same day repair service for commercial overhead doors in Rochester New York.

If you are having issues with your commercial overhead door and the door needs repair, but you are thinking of continuing to use it or repairing it yourself, we suggest that you think again. A commercial overhead door, whether it is in Rochester or a commercial garage door in New York, can be very dangerous, and should be repaired by a trained and experienced technician who carries the tools and the right parts for the repair.

Out of Track Garage Door Repair Rochester

There are many reasons that can make a garage door stop working and get stuck. An out-of-track garage door is one of them, and maybe the most dangerous of all. It requires knowledge of garage door repairs and the ability to deal with different repairs. Whether it is a garage door in Rochester New York or anywhere else, an off-track garage door is extremely dangerous.

If you look at your garage door, you will find that the only thing holding the garage door on the tracks is the rollers. When a roller jumps out of the track, the door cannot and shouldn't be operated until a garage door expert puts it back on the tracks. You may consider pushing the roller or rollers back into the tracks yourself instead of using a qualified garage door technician in Rochester, but that would be a mistake. When a garage door in Rochester is out of track, there is a reason for it, and the reason should be taken care of before the door can be used again. If you do not address the issue, the overhead door can come out of the tracks again, and the next time can be even more dangerous, since the door can fall completely out of the tracks. When a door falls completely off its tracks, it can hurt anything below it, and the door itself may break in a way that cannot be repaired. As we recommend: if there is something wrong with the door, stop using it and contact a garage door company in Rochester to service the door. For readers on the West Coast, Pinnacle Garage Doors and Gates provides garage door repair and new doors throughout Los Angeles.

Reasons a Garage Door Needs Out of Track Repair

There are many reasons that can make a garage door in Rochester jump out of its tracks. But no matter what the reason is, the important thing is to stop using the door and wait for a qualified overhead garage door technician in Rochester to fix it. The reasons can change from one door to another, and from commercial garage door repair to residential garage door repair. What matters is that you use a professional overhead door repairman in Rochester for the repair, and that you do not try to force the door to open or close. Sometimes the door may be completely stuck, and sometimes it can still be moved, but that doesn't mean you should try to move it.

Reasons for an out of track overhead door:

• Someone hit the door with the car: Garages in Rochester are relatively small, and more than once we have received calls from people who tried to exit the garage and accidentally hit the door with the car. In that case the repair can be simple or complicated; it all depends on the amount of damage to the door. Matalonco Garage Doors knows it may seem simple to push the roller back into the tracks, thinking the door will work again. But what you may not know is that doing so can be dangerous, and the best thing is to call a garage door repairman in Rochester New York to fix the door for you, make sure it is safe to use again, and only then go back to using the door. As we said, trying to operate an off-track garage door is dangerous, since the garage door can fall completely out of the tracks. Always use a professional technician for the garage door repair.
• There is a problem with the door mechanism: Garage doors in New York operate with a spring system. It can be a garage door in Rochester New York or a garage door in Greece New York. No matter what door you own or where you are located, do not use a broken garage door. If your door suddenly jumped out of its tracks, it may be due to several reasons, like a broken spring, a snapped cable, or a broken roller. The important thing is to let everyone know that the door is broken, and call an overhead door company in Rochester to fix the door for you.
• The roller is broken: As we explained, the rollers are what connect the door to the tracks. If you live in Rochester New York and you have been ignoring the garage door maintenance and lubrication that every garage door in New York needs, you are probably going to need garage door repair service in Rochester NY. But even if you did maintain and lubricate your garage door in Rochester on time, some garage door parts, like the rollers and pulleys, need to be replaced once in a while, no matter how much you lubricate them. Using the door while a roller is broken will make the door jump out of its tracks again and again. Whether it is a commercial overhead door repair or a residential garage door repair, do not use the door, and contact a local garage door company that serves Rochester to come and fix the door for you.

How to Open a Locked Garage Door?

It is never a good thing when your garage door in Rochester is locked and you realize that you can't open the door. And if your garage is detached from the house, it is even more frustrating, since the garage door is the only way to get into the garage. But there is no need to worry: with our emergency garage door repairs in Rochester New York, we can open your locked garage door and fix the problem. There are two different situations with a locked garage door: the first is when the garage is attached to the house and you have other ways to enter the garage besides the garage door itself, and the second is when the garage is detached from the house and there is no way into the garage except through the garage door. The most common reasons a garage door won't open are a broken spring, a disengaged or failed opener, a snapped cable, and a door that came off its tracks. This is not a complete list of the reasons that lead to a locked garage door in Rochester, but they are the most common causes of a garage door that gets stuck.
