Garage Door Safety InspectionIt has been a hard winter.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementAfter an overnight freeze the door stuck to the slab, the opener strained, and something gave.
Garage Door Manual Lock RepairYou pushed the slide bolt across like always, but tonight it stops short of the slot in the track and springs back.
Garage Door Roller ReplacementNew springs went in last year and the door balances well, yet it still clicks along the ceiling track like a train over rail…
Garage Door Cable ReplacementThere was a sharp crack from the garage, and when you went to look the door had dropped on one side and jammed.
Garage Door Opener ReplacementDuring the ice storm the power was off for two days.
Photo-Eye Sensor Alignment or ReplacementYou press the remote, the door drops a few centimetres, then climbs straight back to the top while the opener light blinks.
Smart Garage Controller SetupA contractor is coming to work in the garage on Thursday while you are away.
Emergency Release RepairSomeone pulled the cord last spring to get a car out during an outage, and the door has never properly rejoined the opener.
High-Lift Garage Door ConversionStorage racks were planned near the ceiling, but the existing tracks and centre-mounted opener divide the only practical zone.
Openers
Openers & Access
Newer remotes change their signal every time they are pressed, so a captured signal cannot be replayed. If your opener still uses a remote with tiny switches on the back, an upgrade closes a gap that has been open for years.

Installation & Upgrades
Not every upgrade means a whole new door. New insulated sections, a high-lift track conversion for a taller vehicle, exterior hardware for a carriage-house look or a quieter drive system can each change how a garage works.

2021 census · what it means at the door
58%Older homes
About 58% of homes in Toronto 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.
23%
Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).
In condominium communities the outward appearance of a garage door is often set by the corporation's rules, down to colour and panel style. We check what the board expects before ordering a replacement door, so the new one is approved and matches the row without a second conversation.
Which fix fits?
There is a new sound.The usual fix
UsuallyGarage Door Safety Inspection
WhyAfter a vehicle or an object has hit the door, an inspection follows the force rather than the dent.
Rust has crept along the bottom edge of the lowest section.The usual fix
UsuallyGarage Door Panel Replacement
WhyThe first real decision is whether a section is the right scale of repair.
The power is out in a storm, you pulled the red cord and lowered the door by hand, and now you want to lock it.The usual fix
UsuallyGarage Door Manual Lock Repair
WhyA keyed garage handle hides more than it shows.
The door is the one the builder installed and has never had a part changed.The usual fix
UsuallyGarage Door Roller Replacement
WhyRollers are often changed as part of a wider tune-up rather than on their own.
Before you book
Why does my door reverse on the way down for no reason?
Most often it is the photo eyes. A sensor knocked slightly out of line, a lens with a film of road grime, a loose wire, or low afternoon sun shining straight into one eye will each break the beam as far as the opener is concerned. The next candidates are a down-force setting that has drifted, a binding roller or a door that has gone out of balance. The inspection checks each in turn.
How do I know whether the damage is only cosmetic?
Watch the door move. A cosmetic dent leaves the section flat at the joints, the door travelling without a catch, and the hinges and rollers seated normally. Signs that the damage goes further include a crease that reaches a joint or stile, a hinge screw that has pulled out, a roller sitting crooked in the track, a gap of daylight at a joint, or a shudder as that section reaches the track curve. Any of those calls for a proper assessment.
Do you replace the whole handle or just the cylinder?
Whichever the fault calls for. A worn or broken cylinder in a handle that is otherwise sound is swapped or rekeyed on its own. A handle that is cracked, corroded through or of a pattern with no parts available is replaced as a set with its spindle and inside turn handle. The technician shows you what has failed before either route is taken.
What is the difference between two-inch and three-inch rollers?
The figure is the wheel diameter, and it has to match the track. Residential sectional doors run on two-inch track and take a two-inch wheel; commercial doors can run on either two-inch or three-inch track, so the wheel is matched to what is actually installed. Wheel size has little to do with noise, which comes from the wheel material and bearings. The technician measures the track and the existing wheel before ordering so the set fits, since a mismatched wheel either jams in the channel or rattles around in it.
What are garage door cables made of?
They are galvanized aircraft-type wire rope: many fine steel wires twisted into strands, and the strands laid around a core, which gives a cable that bends around a small drum thousands of times without fatiguing. One end carries a swaged stop or a loop for the drum, the other a loop that fits over the bottom bracket pin. Diameter and length are chosen for the door's weight and height.
