The new door went in last year and looks perfect, but the old wooden stop and its tired seal were left in place. Along the top there is a gap you could slide a finger into, and the cold pours through it.

Door stuck open
Safely, right now
- Leave it where it stopped. Don't pull it down by hand or keep pressing the button.
- Keep people, pets and cars out from under it.
- Leave the red emergency release alone while the door is up: it can come down hard.
Door won't close
Safely, right now
- Stop pressing the button. Trying again and again strains the opener and the top of the door.
- Keep clear of the doorway, even to move something out of the way. Tell us on the call if you can see anything in the door's path.
- Never tape over, bypass or move the little sensors near the floor to force it shut.
Spring snapped
Safely, right now
- Don't lift the door by hand and don't use the opener.
- Keep everyone, pets included, and every vehicle away from the door.
- The emergency release stays untouched while the door is up, because the door can come down.
Car stuck inside
Safely, right now
- Never try to push through the door with the car.
- If you heard a bang or the door feels heavy, don't pull the release or lift it. A spring may be broken.
- Leave the car inside for now and plan another ride.
In most homes in Brant Hills the door between the garage and the kitchen is the least guarded one, so the garage door itself matters for security. We make sure it closes and locks fully, replace worn emergency-release cords, add a manual lock where wanted, and clear old codes from the opener.

The fix, explained · Brant Hills
What is the door doing?
EmergencyTorsion Spring ReplacementAfter pulling the red release cord, you tried lifting the door yourself and it would barely leave the floor.
The fix
The finished result is a door that behaves the way a good garage door should: it lifts by hand with light effort, stays where you leave it at mid-height, closes softly and lets the opener run with little strain. Reaching that point involves measuring the door, choosing a matched spring, winding it to the correct turns and…
Until then
When a spring breaks, the safe approach for the household is to leave the door where it is, keep people and vehicles clear, and avoid running the opener, which can damage the top section, the trolley or the gear drive.
Pull the manual release only when the door is fully closed unless a technician asks otherwise; a door disconnected while partly open can move on its own if the springs are out of balance.

EmergencyOff-Track Garage Door ResetA delivery van backed into the shop's overhead door this afternoon.
The fix
Off-track doors are really two problems in one, and the reset addresses both. The first is the visible one: a roller outside its rail and a door out of square.
Until then
Never run the opener on a door that is off its track or hanging crooked; every cycle drives the racked door harder into the rails and can pull the track from the wall or tear a hinge.
Pull the manual release only when the door is fully closed unless a technician asks otherwise; a door disconnected while partly open can move on its own if the springs are out of balance.

EmergencyGarage Door Cable ReplacementThere was a sharp crack from the garage, and when you went to look the door had dropped on one side and jammed.
The fix
A cable visit runs in a set order. First the opener is disconnected and the door clamped so nothing can move.
Until then
Never run the opener on a door that is off its track or hanging crooked; every cycle drives the racked door harder into the rails and can pull the track from the wall or tear a hinge.

EmergencyExtension Spring ReplacementThe opener groans on the way up and the door slams the last foot on the way down, hard enough to rattle the windows.
The fix
When one extension spring breaks, the other is replaced with it. The two springs were fitted together, have stretched the same number of times and have rusted in the same air, so the survivor is near the end of its life.
Until then
When a spring breaks, the safe approach for the household is to leave the door where it is, keep people and vehicles clear, and avoid running the opener, which can damage the top section, the trolley or the gear drive.

Book soonEmergency Release RepairSomeone pulled the cord last spring to get a car out during an outage, and the door has never properly rejoined the opener.
The fix
Most households meet the release for the first time in a power outage, usually in winter. The door is shut, the car is inside, and the red handle is the only way to move the door.
Until then
Pull the release with the door fully closed whenever possible, and keep the opening clear as you do.
Lift a door by its handles or the gripping points on the panel face, never at the joint between sections, which closes as the door bends around the track.
Book soonGarage Door Opener Diagnosis and RepairIt is a January morning and the door lifts about a hand's width, groans, and settles back down.
The fix
Garage door opener diagnosis is a fault-finding visit with a fixed order of tests. The technician confirms power at the ceiling receptacle, tries each control on its own, checks the safety sensors and their indicator lights, examines the drive train from motor to trolley, and reads any flash code the unit is showing.
Until then
Pull the release with the door fully closed whenever possible, and keep the opening clear as you do.
Never drive a vehicle at a closed door to get out; the door collapses and the stored tension in the counterbalance is released.

Arrange a technician for your Brant Hills garage door.
Our technicians treat a door in Brant Hills as a system: springs, cables, drums, rollers, tracks, opener and sensors all affecting each other. A repair that ignores the neighbouring parts fails early, so we check the lot, fix what is worn, and tell you honestly what is fine and can wait.
Burlington, Clarksdale, Freeman, Glenwood Park, Highview Survey, Mountain Gardens, Palmer and Tyandaga
We show, then tell. Worn cables, tired springs and misaligned sensors are pointed out on the door itself, so the explanation makes sense.
Clean-up included. Old parts are removed, surfaces wiped and the floor swept before we consider the visit complete.
The right repair for your situation. Some doors deserve a full refresh; others need one part. We help you weigh that against how long you plan to keep the door.

Garage door services · Brant Hills
Repairs, hardware, openers and new doors: those are the four kinds of garage door work we do in Brant Hills. Most visits are repairs and tune-ups, springs and cables are the most common replacements, opener and remote problems come next, and new doors are planned with more time and care.

Someone slid the inside lock across before bed, and in the morning someone else pressed the remote. The opener groaned, the door jumped and shuddered, and now the lock bar is bent, the section is creased and the door hangs crooked at the top.
3 / 10
One of the little wheels along the edge of the door has a chunk missing, another sits crooked in its hinge, and there is a fine grey dust on the floor under the track where plastic has been wearing away.
4 / 10
You bought the house with a door that sticks near the top of its travel. The vertical track was screwed tight against the jamb, so the door drags along its stop moulding on every trip instead of swinging clear.
5 / 10
Press the button and the opener hums for a second, then quits. The trolley is jammed hard against a bolt at the very end of the rail near the motor and will not budge in either direction.
6 / 10
The opener in the ceiling is older than the car parked under it. It groans on the way up, the light fixture rattles, and there are no small sensors near the floor. The last technician mentioned that parts for that model stopped being made years ago.
7 / 10
Someone in the family tried to add a remote, held the button on the ceiling unit a little too long, and now every remote in the house is dead at once. The wall control still moves the door. The remotes act as if they were never programmed.
8 / 10
The house came with a controller already screwed to the garage ceiling and a sensor on the door, but the app insists the device belongs to another account. The seller has moved provinces, the emails go unanswered, and every evening the door still reports to a stranger's phone.
9 / 10
A previous owner knotted the release cord around the rail and stacked storage shelves right beneath it. You only discovered this in the dark, with the power off, a flashlight in your teeth and a car that needed to be somewhere.
10 / 10
Cold weather has exposed a widening gap below the closed door. The bottom retainer is bent, the rubber seal is split, and uneven seating lets drafts and slush enter the work area.

What the census means at the door
47%
Homes of every age. About 47% of homes in Burlington were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Mixed neighbourhoods often include renovated older houses with a new facade and a garage door that no longer suits it. Choosing a door that ties the renovation together, then installing it plumb and balanced in an older opening, is work we do regularly and enjoy.
50%
A mix of homes. Single-detached houses make up about 50% of homes in Burlington (2021 Census).
A mixed neighbourhood is where weatherproofing varies most. A detached garage with an old, uneven apron needs a thicker bottom seal; a newer townhouse door mostly needs a cracked section of seal replaced. We look at how each door meets its floor and fit what closes the gap.
Before you book
Why should the seal only touch the door lightly?
The fin is meant to bend against the door with a small, even deflection. That is enough to seal, and it lets the fin spring clear as the door lifts. Pressed hard, it drags on the door face, folds under on the way down, squeals and wears through well before its time, and it adds load to the opener. Set too far off, it leaves a standing gap. The light touch is the setting that lasts.
Do you replace the whole handle or just the cylinder?
Whichever the fault calls for. A worn or broken cylinder in a handle that is otherwise sound is swapped or rekeyed on its own. A handle that is cracked, corroded through or of a pattern with no parts available is replaced as a set with its spindle and inside turn handle. The technician shows you what has failed before either route is taken.
What happens during the visit, and do I need to move the car?
The technician needs clear access to both tracks from floor to ceiling, so moving vehicles out and shifting anything stored against the walls near the tracks helps. The visit itself runs in order: the door is watched in motion, every roller and its hardware is inspected, the door's balance is tested, the door is secured and the rollers are changed one position at a time, the track is cleaned and squared, moving parts are lubricated, and the door and opener are tested.
What information helps when I call?
Where the damage is, at floor level, near the curve or overhead; what caused it if you know, such as a bumper or a ladder; whether the door is closed, open or stuck partway; whether any roller has come out of the channel; whether there is a spring above the door or springs along the tracks; and the door's rough size. A photo of the damaged length and of a bracket with its screws is very useful.
