Call or text (970) 788-2884 and tell us what happened.
Emergency garage door repair in Parker and the South Metro
- Broken torsion or extension springs (see broken spring repair)
- Snapped or frayed cables, and cables off the drum
- Doors off track, crooked or jammed partway
- A door stuck open that won’t close, leaving the house exposed
- A car trapped in the garage
- Doors hit by a vehicle, with bent panels or tracks
- An opener that quit with the door up (see garage door openers)
What to do right now
- Get clear. Keep people, pets and cars away from the door.
- Stop pressing the button. Running the opener against a broken spring or a jammed door makes it worse.
- Leave the release alone. If the door is up with a broken spring or cable, don’t pull the red emergency release.
- Lock up. If the door won’t close, lock the door from the garage into the house.
- Send a photo. Text a photo of the door, the springs and the tracks to (970) 788-2884. It helps us show up ready.
Stuck open after dark
A garage door that won’t close is more than an inconvenience. It leaves your tools, bikes and the door into your house open to anyone walking by. When that’s the call, our first job is to get the door safe and closed. Then we fix what failed. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you, and we secure the door in the meantime whenever we can.
Snapped cable or door off track
When a lift cable breaks or jumps off its drum, the door usually hangs crooked or drops on one side. A door that has come out of its tracks can twist and fall. Don’t try to raise it or force it back in. Leave it where it is, keep everyone clear, and call or text.
What happens when you call
- Tell us what happened. Call or text. Photos help.
- We schedule the soonest visit. Same-day service, with 24/7 emergency service available.
- We make it safe and fix it. We secure the door and repair what failed, using military-grade springs and parts.
- Straight price. You hear what it costs before we start the repair.
- Full check. We test the balance, the opener and the safety reverse before we leave.
Why garage door emergencies happen
On the Front Range, cold snaps are the usual culprit: springs break on frosty mornings. Wind and hail bend panels and knock doors out of line (if a storm did more than dent the door, see storm damage restoration). And every year, a few drivers back into a door that wasn’t all the way up. Out east in Elbert or in town in Parker, the fix starts the same way: call or text. If the same storm or a frozen pipe put water in your basement, see flooded basement cleanup.
Not quite an emergency?
If the door still works but it’s loud, slow or shaky, book online for a regular repair visit, or start with a $29 garage door tune-up (reg. $89). Catching worn parts early is how you avoid the emergency call. See all garage door repair services.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer same-day garage door repair?
Yes. Same-day and emergency service is available. Call or text (970) 788-2884 and tell us what happened.
My door is stuck open. Can I close it by hand?
Only if the springs and cables are intact and the door is straight. Pull the release with the door supported and lower it slowly. If a spring or cable is broken or the door is crooked, don’t try it. Call or text us.
My car is trapped in the garage. What should I do?
Leave the door closed and tell us about the car when you call or text. We’ll get the door working so you can get out.
How much does emergency garage door repair cost?
It depends on what broke. We give you a straight price before we start the repair.
What should I text you?
A photo of the whole door, a close-up of the springs above it and the tracks on each side, plus your address. Send it to (970) 788-2884.
