Most calls are a door that won't open, and the usual culprit is a broken spring, which snaps with a bang and leaves a two-hundred-pound door that the opener can't lift. Springs are dangerous; a torsion spring holds enormous tension, and replacing it takes the right winding bars and a careful routine. Other calls are cables that have come off their drums, rollers worn out, a door knocked off its track by a car, or an opener that hums but doesn't move. Every service call includes checking the whole system: balance, springs, cables, rollers and the opener's safety sensors and auto-reverse, because a door that doesn't reverse can crush someone. I carry common springs, cables, rollers and openers on the van so most repairs are done in one visit. Replacements are bigger jobs, measuring the opening, choosing insulated or not, and installing in a few hours. I quote the repair before I start, including the service-call fee, and I take payment at the end of the visit.
