How to use these guides
If your door has stopped working, start with the troubleshooting guide. If you already know what is wrong, the cost guide shows what a fair price looks like before you call anyone. If a quote feels high, the scam guide shows what to ask.
Some problems are never DIY jobs. Springs, cables and bottom brackets hold enough tension to cause serious injury, so our guides only cover safe, simple checks. For everything else, call us and we will tell you what is likely wrong and what it usually costs.
