Garage door repair is necessary when your door is stuck open and your vehicles are exposed. The main purpose of a garage door is to keep your car safe from theft and protected from damage. In Aliso Viejo, with its share of golf courses including the famous Jack Nicklaus-designed Aliso Viejo Country Club, keeping your car free from stray golf balls is a point of concern. But this can’t be accomplished when your garage door is not working.

Common Reasons for Garage Door Repair

Your garage door may be malfunctioning for any number of reasons, including:

• Broken Springs – Springs are the heart and soul of the garage door, as they do the bulk of the work involved with the door’s functionality. Because they deal with so much tension and weight, garage door springs breaking is an inevitability, and the top reason for garage door repair.
• Snapped Cables – The breaking of springs can lead to a snapped cable once it takes on unexpected pressure from a broken spring that it is not capable of withstanding. Professional repair is required, as this type of situation can be very hazardous to one’s well-being.
• Warped Panels – If you live in areas with extreme heat, this can greatly affect your garage door ability to open and close, especially if it is made out of wood. Individual garage door panels can be fixed, or even replaced in certain situations.
• Damaged Track – Sometimes when you are in a hurry, you may back out of the garage and accidentally hit the track, causing it to bend. Trying to open or close a garage door with a damaged track can lead to further problems when the door has to work extra hard to function properly, especially with lack of balance suffered when the bend is only on one side.
  It is very much advised against addressing these issues yourself.
