Is a broken spring dangerous?

Yes. Garage door springs are under heavy tension and can cause serious injury. Don't try to remove or adjust one yourself, and don't force the door open — leave it for the pro.

Should I repair or replace the door?

Springs, cables, rollers, openers and single panels can usually be repaired. If the door is old, badly damaged or not wind-rated, ask the pro to quote both so you can compare.

What should I put on the form?

What the door is doing (won't open, stuck halfway, loud bang, opener hums), the brand if you know it, and your city. It helps the pro come prepared.

What your MB pro can help with

Your garage door is the largest moving part of your home and, in Florida, the largest opening a hurricane can push on. When it fails, the car is stuck and the house is exposed. Tell us what it's doing and we'll match you with a vetted garage door pro near you.

Broken torsion and extension springs, replaced and balanced.
Openers that click, hum or ignore the remote — repaired or replaced.
Doors off track, frayed cables, worn rollers and noisy hinges.
Dented or damaged panels and worn weather seals.
Safety sensors that make the door reverse before it closes.
New wind-rated doors with the product approval your county requires.

Wind-rated doors and permits

Replacing a garage door in Florida generally needs a building permit, and the new door must be an approved product rated for your area's wind load — a Miami-Dade NOA in Miami-Dade and Broward (the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone), Florida Product Approval elsewhere. Repairs to springs, cables and openers usually don't need a permit.

Your MB pro handles the permit when the job needs one.
