Garage door repair for Chipley houses and businesses
Big Bend Services, Inc. repairs garage doors on houses and commercial buildings in Chipley, ZIP code 32428. We replace broken springs and lift cables, fix rollers, hinges and tracks, realign or replace safety sensors, renew weather seals, repair openers and fit new ones. When a door is past repair, we measure the opening and quote a new door.
A loud bang from the garage followed by a door that will not lift points to a broken spring. Call (850) 819-6031 or send the form with the address and what the door is doing, and you will get a written quote for the job.
Broken springs
A door too heavy to lift
The springs carry the weight of a garage door. The opener and your hands only guide it. When a spring breaks, that weight lands back on the door all at once, so the door will not rise, climbs a few inches and stops, or feels far heavier than it did the day before.
The broken spring is replaced with a new one matched to the weight and height of the door, so the door balances and stays put when it is halfway open.
Torsion springs
These sit on a steel bar across the top of the opening. A broken one shows a gap of a few inches between two parts of the coil.
Extension springs
These run above the horizontal tracks on each side of the door. A broken one hangs loose or has pulled away from its pulley.
Two springs, one broken
On a door with two torsion springs, one can break while the other still pulls. The door then lifts partway or unevenly.
A loose cable after the break
When a spring breaks, the lift cable can slip off its drum and leave the door hanging crooked.
Before the new spring goes in
Leave the door closed and switch the opener off. Running the opener against a broken spring can strip the gear inside it. If that has already happened and the opener now hums or grinds, say so. If the door is stuck open, leave it open and tell us that when you call.
Scope
What changes a spring replacement
Size and weight of the door
A double door or a heavy wood door takes a larger spring than a light single door.
Cables and drums
Cables that are frayed or drums that are cracked are replaced along with the spring, since the new spring works through them.
Commercial doors
Roll-up and commercial doors in Chipley
We repair commercial garage doors and install new ones, including roll-up doors that coil around a barrel above the opening and large sectional doors that slide up into overhead tracks.
Roll-up doors
When the slats are too damaged, a new roll-up door is measured to the opening.
Large sectional doors
Springs, cables, rollers, hinges and sections on a shop or warehouse door are replaced with parts sized for the heavier door.
Commercial openers
An opener that no longer runs the door is repaired, or a new one is fitted to suit the size and weight of the door.
Doors the business depends on
Tell us which doors must stay working for deliveries or customers, and whether the building can be closed off while one is out of service.
Roll-up doors
What a roll-up door is telling you
A roll-up door has springs too, wound inside the barrel the door coils around, and its faults show in how it moves.
Hard to lift or will not stay up
A spring inside the barrel has weakened or broken. It is replaced with a spring sized to that door, so the door holds its position at any height.
Runs down too fast
The spring is no longer holding back the weight of the curtain, and it is replaced.
Binds or scrapes in the side guides
A bent slat end or a bent guide catches as the door passes. The slat is replaced and the guide is straightened.
Coils unevenly
A curtain that rolls up lopsided has shifted on its barrel or has damaged slats, and it is set back square.
Openers on Chipley doors
An opener that hums, clicks or does nothing at all is repaired when the fault is in a single part, such as the drive gear, the wall control or the wiring. When the motor itself has worn out, the opener is replaced, and the new one runs the existing door as long as that door is balanced.
What to tell us when you call
Say whether the building is a house or a business, how many doors need work and whether each one is a roll-up or a sectional door. Describe what the door does now: will not lift, lifts crooked, reverses, grinds, or will not answer the remote. For a roll-up door, say whether it is lifted by hand, by a chain hoist or by an opener. For a business, add the hours the building is open and who to ask for on site.
Our office is in Wewahitchka and answers on Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
