Dauphin Island, Alabama · $130 - $360 including re-track
Snapped cables, doors hanging off the track, drums that unwound. Same-day appointments most days and a flat price agreed before we start.
Answered 24 hours · parts carried on the truck · no call-out fee with the repair
Lift cables run from the bottom bracket up to the drums at each end of the torsion bar. They fray at the bottom where water and grit collect, and once one snaps the door drops on that side, jams in the track and often bends a section on the way.
An off-track door in Dauphin Island is a stop-using-it situation. Every cycle you force bends more track and puts the opener under load it was never designed for. We unwind and reset the drums, replace both cables, straighten or replace bent track, reseat the rollers and re-balance the door.
Call (877) 230-8949 and describe what the door is doing. Most Dauphin Island jobs of this type are quoted accurately over the phone and finished on the first visit.

In Dauphin Island, a straightforward spring or cable repair is usually the cheapest fix available; a full door replacement is the most expensive. We will always tell you when a repair makes more sense than a new door.
Describe the noise or the symptom. Most doors can be narrowed down to a spring, cable, opener or track problem over the phone.
You get a flat number for the repair, including parts and labour, before a tool comes out of the truck.
Springs, cables, rollers, sensors and common opener parts are on the van, so most jobs finish the same trip.
We cycle the door, set the opener force and travel, test the safety reverse and clean up before leaving.
★★★★★Door had been screeching for a year. Turned out to be rollers and a dry torsion bar. Quiet now and it cost far less than I had talked myself into.

Common repairs run roughly $120 to $380. Spring replacement usually falls in the $180 to $420 range for a matched pair. You get a flat number before any work starts, not an estimate that grows.
We can, but we do not recommend it. Springs wear at the same rate, so if one has gone the other is close behind. Replacing the pair costs less than paying for a second call-out in a few months.
Nine times out of ten it is the safety sensors near the floor: knocked out of alignment, dirty lenses or a loose wire. It can also be the down-force setting or something in the track. Both are quick fixes.
Yes. Rolling steel shutters, sectional overhead doors, high-cycle spring systems and jackshaft openers for shops, warehouses and fleet yards, including after-hours visits so you do not lose trading time.
If the panels are sound, repair is almost always the better value. Once you have rust through the bottom section, cracked stiles or multiple dented panels, replacement usually costs less over five years.
Tell us what the door is doing and we will tell you what it costs. Same-day slots most days, emergency calls answered 24 hours.
