The drive up
From Horseshoe Way we go Steveston Highway to Highway 99 and over the Oak Street Bridge. Then Granville Street to West 57th Avenue and across on West Boulevard or Arbutus Street. That puts Kerrisdale 15 to 25 minutes from the shop on a normal day.
Garage door repair Kerrisdale homes need
Kerrisdale mixes older character houses with newer custom builds. A lot of the garages sit at the back of the lot off the lane. That layout wears a door differently than an attached garage in a newer suburb.
Heavy custom doors
Big wood doors and custom double doors weigh a lot. If the springs were undersized from the start, or have simply worn out, the door gets hard to lift and the opener does the work the springs should be doing. We weigh the door and fit torsion springs rated for it. A balanced door stays put when you lift it halfway by hand.
Lane garages
A detached garage off the lane takes the weather on every side. Cables rust and openers get more use than you would think. We check the cables at the bottom brackets on every visit and replace them in pairs when they fray.
Designer doors
Some Kerrisdale doors have finishes the owner cares about a great deal. We handle them carefully and use matched hardware. Balancing them right protects the finish as much as the motor.
Opener upgrades
A lot of garage door repair Kerrisdale calls start with an old opener. Many owners ask us to swap a loud chain drive for a quiet belt drive with Wi Fi so they can check the door from their phone. We fit it, pair it and show you how it works before we leave.
If the old opener is fine apart from a worn gear or a sensor out of line, we fix that instead. You decide. Garage door repair Kerrisdale owners book with us is about the door you have, not the one we would like to sell you.
Before you call
If the door will not open, try the wall button and check the opener is plugged in. If you heard a bang, look at the spring above the door. A gap in the coil means it is broken. Leave the door shut. A door with a broken spring can drop fast.
