What's happening right now?

Door stuck open

Safely, right now

  1. Leave it where it stopped. Don't pull it down by hand or keep pressing the button.
  2. Keep the doorway clear of people, pets and vehicles.
  3. The red release cord stays untouched while the door is open, because the door can fall.

Door won't close

Safely, right now

  1. Stop pressing the button. Trying again and again strains the opener and the top of the door.
  2. Keep clear of the doorway, even to move something out of the way. Tell us on the call if you can see anything in the door's path.
  3. Leave the safety sensors near the floor as they are: never tape them or bypass them.

Safely, right now

  1. Leave the door and the opener alone: no lifting it by hand, no pressing the button.
  2. Keep people, pets and cars clear of the door.
  3. The emergency release stays untouched while the door is up, because the door can come down.

Car stuck inside

Safely, right now

  1. Don't drive into the door or try to force it open.
  2. If you heard a bang or the door feels heavy, don't pull the release or lift it. A spring may be broken.
  3. Arrange another way to get where you are going for now. The car can wait inside.

Request a visit What the fix involves

Commercial sectional and rolling steel doors around Norland take thousands of cycles a year and the occasional knock from a forklift. We service them with heavy-duty springs, industrial operators and hardware chosen for the work they actually do, and we plan the visit around your opening hours. Calls from Coboconk, Dongola and Head Lake are covered too.

The fix, explained · Norland

What is the door doing?

EmergencyTorsion Spring ReplacementOn a cold morning the remote does nothing useful: the light comes on, the motor turns briefly, the door stays shut.

The fix

Torsion spring replacement is really a service on the whole balance system. The spring sits on a shaft that turns in a centre bearing and two end bearings, drives a pair of cable drums, and lifts the door through two steel cables.

Until then

  1. When a spring breaks, the safe approach for the household is to leave the door where it is, keep people and vehicles clear, and avoid running the opener, which can damage the top section, the trolley or the gear drive.

  2. Pull the manual release only when the door is fully closed unless a technician asks otherwise; a door disconnected while partly open can move on its own if the springs are out of balance.

Call (249) 490-5342Request a visit Torsion Spring Replacement

EmergencyOff-Track Garage Door ResetThe rollers on the door have been squealing for months.

The fix

Winter produces a particular version of this call. Slush melts under the door during the day, freezes overnight and glues the bottom seal to the slab.

Until then

  1. Never run the opener on a door that is off its track or hanging crooked; every cycle drives the racked door harder into the rails and can pull the track from the wall or tear a hinge.

  2. Pull the manual release only when the door is fully closed unless a technician asks otherwise; a door disconnected while partly open can move on its own if the springs are out of balance.

EmergencyGarage Door Cable ReplacementSomeone left the snow shovel leaning in the opening and the door came down on it.

The fix

Which counterbalance your door has shapes the job. Torsion doors carry a spring on a shaft above the opening, and the cables wind onto grooved drums at each end; the technician winds the spring down with steel bars, swaps the cables, sets the drums and winds it back up.

Until then

  1. Never run the opener on a door that is off its track or hanging crooked; every cycle drives the racked door harder into the rails and can pull the track from the wall or tear a hinge.

  2. Pull the manual release only when the door is fully closed unless a technician asks otherwise; a door disconnected while partly open can move on its own if the springs are out of balance.

EmergencyExtension Spring ReplacementThe home inspector's report on the house you are buying flags the garage door: extension springs with no safety cable running through them, coils…

The fix

What you have afterwards is a door that behaves like a much lighter object. Both corners leave the floor together, the door holds still when you stop it at waist height, and it settles onto the floor instead of slamming.

Until then

  1. When a spring breaks, the safe approach for the household is to leave the door where it is, keep people and vehicles clear, and avoid running the opener, which can damage the top section, the trolley or the gear drive.

  2. Pull the manual release only when the door is fully closed unless a technician asks otherwise; a door disconnected while partly open can move on its own if the springs are out of balance.

Book soonEmergency Release RepairAfter a week of lifting the door by hand you pressed the button, hoping it would catch.

The fix

The release only earns its keep on a door that behaves once it is free of the opener, so the visit starts with the door closed and a balance test rather than with the handle. Disconnected, a healthy door lifts with modest effort, holds around a metre off the floor and stays put at the top.

Until then

  1. Pull the release with the door fully closed whenever possible, and keep the opening clear as you do.

  2. Lift a door by its handles or the gripping points on the panel face, never at the joint between sections, which closes as the door bends around the track.

Book soonGarage Door Opener Diagnosis and RepairThe door goes up perfectly.

The fix

What you get from the visit is more than a working door. You get told, in plain words, what was wrong and why it happened: a gear that had run dry for years, a sensor knocked out of line by a snow shovel, a wall control left in lock mode by a visiting grandchild.

Until then

  1. Pull the release with the door fully closed whenever possible, and keep the opening clear as you do.

  2. Never drive a vehicle at a closed door to get out; the door collapses and the stored tension in the counterbalance is released.

What the census means at the door

56%

Older homes. About 56% of homes in Kawartha Lakes were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.

Hardware on an older door has often been through many winters: hinges with worn pins, rollers with tired bearings, bottom brackets rusted at the floor line. Replacing these in sets restores a smooth lift and takes a surprising amount of noise out of the garage.

84%

Mostly houses. Single-detached houses make up about 84% of homes in Kawartha Lakes (2021 Census).

Where houses are detached, a side door into the garage and an interior door into the house are common, so the garage door is one of several ways in. Making sure it closes fully, locks properly and has its old remote codes cleared keeps the whole house secure.

Advice · (249) 490-5342

Which lubricant is right for a garage door?

A silicone-based or white lithium garage door lubricant, sold for the purpose. Penetrating oils and general sprays are thin, attract dust and are gone in weeks; heavy grease traps grit. For the rubber bottom seal and weatherstrip, use only a silicone spray, since petroleum products attack rubber and make it brittle. Nylon rollers with sealed bearings need no lubricant, while ones with an exposed bearing can need a touch where their own maker calls for it. A small amount on each point, worked in by moving the door, is enough.

Can I keep using the opener until someone comes?

It is better to leave the opener alone. A racked door does not become straighter with another cycle; every press of the button forces the crooked sections deeper into the rails and strains the hinges and wall brackets. Unplug the opener or pull the red release cord if the door is fully closed, keep people and vehicles clear, and let the technician move it in a controlled way.

Does changing a section affect the springs or balance?

It can. A new section may be a little heavier or lighter than the old one, particularly if insulation, glazing or a strut differs, and the springs are set for the door's actual weight. After the exchange the technician lifts the door by hand with the opener disconnected and adjusts the spring tension until it holds steady at mid-height. On a bottom-section job the springs are unloaded and reloaded as part of the work anyway.

Should I choose the tallest seal available?

Not as a rule. The seal should fill the measured gap with a little compression to spare. A profile far taller than the gap gets squashed flat, wears at the fold, bows the bottom section and can make the opener reverse. Where the floor dips at one end, a taller bulb is the right call for that door; where the floor is flat, a standard height lasts longer. Measuring first is what settles it.
