A garage door repair usually starts with a door that will not open or close: a broken torsion spring, a cable that has come off its drum, rollers out of the track, or an opener that hums, clicks or reverses. Call 845-535-1141 and describe what the door is doing.

What Happens When You Call
- Tell us what the door is doing. Whether it will not open or will not close, whether you heard a bang, whether a car is trapped inside, and the opener brand if you can see it. A photo sent by text helps identify the part.
- Talk it through. From the description we can often tell you which part has most likely failed and what the repair usually involves.
- Arrange a visit. Our technicians work Sunday to Thursday 7 AM to 11 PM, and Friday 7 AM to 1 PM (closed Saturday), and we will tell you the next available time for your address. We do not offer overnight service.
- The whole door is inspected. Springs, cables, drums, rollers, tracks and the opener are checked, because one failure often damages another part. You are told what needs doing and what it will cost, and no work starts until you agree.
- The door is tested before we leave. After the repair the door is balanced, and the opener's travel limits and safety reverse are tested.

Until a Technician Arrives
- If a spring has broken and the door is closed, leave it closed and unplug the opener.
- If the door is stuck open, keep people and cars out from under it and do not pull the red release cord.
- If the door hangs crooked or a cable is loose, stop using it. The springs and cables are still under tension.

Garage Doors in New City: What Is Different Here
New City is the county seat of Rockland County and the largest hamlet in the Town of Clarkstown. Most of its neighbourhoods were built between the 1950s and the 1970s, so the typical house is a split-level, raised ranch or colonial with an attached one- or two-car garage, often with a bedroom or family room directly above or beside it. Many of those homes are now on their second or third garage door, and plenty still have the opener that was fitted decades ago.
Garage Door Problems We Expect in New City
- Springs at the end of their life. Doors installed in the same era wear out together. Standard torsion springs are commonly rated at around 10,000 open-and-close cycles, though ratings vary by spring. A busy household can use that up in seven to ten years.
- Noise carried into the house. With living space over or next to the garage, worn steel rollers and an old chain-drive opener are heard indoors. Nylon rollers and a belt-drive opener are the usual cure.
- Older openers without modern safety features. Openers made before 1993 were not required to have photo-eye sensors. If yours has none, replacement is the safer choice.
- Sloped driveways. On the hillier streets, meltwater and grit run toward the garage, wearing out bottom seals and rusting the bottom section.
- Dented steel sections. Single-layer steel doors from older installations dent easily and matching replacement sections can be hard to find.
