Close to the shop
Our shop is on Horseshoe Way, right by the south end of Richmond. We go out Steveston Highway, take Highway 99 through the George Massey Tunnel and pick up Highway 17A. Ladner is 10 to 15 minutes on a normal run. Tsawwassen and North Delta take longer, and we give you a real time on the phone.
We cover all of Delta. Ladner and Tsawwassen are the bulk of it. North Delta is a little further, up toward the Alex Fraser.
Emergency garage door repair Delta calls we get
Broken torsion springs
Plenty of Delta houses have a double garage with a wide, heavy door. Springs on those doors work hard and wear out sooner. When one goes you hear a bang and the door will not lift. Leave it closed. We bring springs sized to the door and replace them as a pair.
Cables off the drum
Damp air off the river rusts cable strands where they wrap the drum. When a cable jumps the drum, the door hangs crooked and often bends the track on the low side. We carry cut cables for the usual door heights and fix the track at the same visit.
Dead openers after a storm
Winter storms bring power surges, and older chain drive openers are not protected. The board fries and the door stays shut. We carry replacement boards for the common brands. If yours is too old for parts, we can put in a new opener with battery backup.
Doors hit by a car
A low speed bump can bend a track or shear a roller hinge. Sometimes we can straighten it on site. If the track is kinked past safe, we replace it. If a section is damaged we secure the opening and order the panel.
What happens when you call
We ask where in Delta you are and what the door is doing. A loud bang, a crooked door and an opener that hums without moving each point to different parts. We load the truck for it and head out. You get the price before we start work.
Emergency garage door repair Delta homes can avoid
A good share of emergency garage door repair Delta calls are a spring that was showing rust for a year. Look at the coils above the door every few months. A gap in the coil means it has broken. Orange rust on the coils means it is on its way. Either way, call before it drops the door on a car.
Keep the remote batteries fresh and test the photo eyes by waving a broom through the beam while the door closes. It should reverse right away.
Wet season
October to February is our busiest stretch. Cold snaps after heavy rain stiffen the bearings and hinge pins, and a spring that was already tired picks that day to break. A tune up in the fall is the cheapest way to avoid a call in the middle of the night.
