What Counts as a Garage Door Emergency?
If any of these are happening, don’t wait:
- Door is stuck open and won’t close
- Door is crooked, hanging, or off-track
- You heard a loud bang (often a spring)
- Cable looks frayed or hanging
- Door won’t lift and feels extremely heavy
- Opener strains, clicks, or won’t move the door
- Door closes then reopens (and you can’t secure the garage)
- You can’t get the car out (or can’t get the door shut after)
If the door looks unstable, keep people clear. Safety first.
Don’t pull the emergency release on a crooked door
If the door is off-track or hanging, releasing it can cause a sudden drop.
Do This Right Now (Before We Arrive)
Stop running the opener
If the door is binding, crooked, or heavy, the opener will not “power through.”
It usually makes the damage worse.
Keep the area clear
Keep kids, pets, and traffic away from the door path.
If the door is stuck open
Move valuables away from the opening if you can do it safely.
Then call for emergency service.
Most Common Emergency Calls We Handle in Alvin
Broken spring (the loud bang)
A spring break is one of the most common emergencies.
The door often won’t lift. Or it lifts a few inches and stops.

Off-track door (crooked or jammed)
If a roller pops out or the track shifts, the door can hang or bind.
Do not force it closed.

Cable failure / drum slip
If a cable slips or frays, the door can lift unevenly and jam hard.
This can turn into a drop hazard.

Opener failure when you need the door now
Sometimes the opener is the issue.
