Overhead Garage Door Repair in Los Angeles

When an overhead garage door sticks, comes off track, shakes or won’t close, your home is less secure and your day stops. Metro GDS repairs sectional and one-piece overhead doors across the San Fernando Valley and LA County, with same-day service on most calls. Call (310) 299-0996.

Overhead door problems we fix

• Door off track: rollers out of the track after a bump or a broken cable. We re-set the door, straighten or replace the track, and find the cause.
• Snapped or frayed cables: the door hangs crooked or drops on one side. We replace both cables and re-seat them on the drums.
• Broken springs: the door won’t lift or feels very heavy. See garage door spring repair.
• Noisy, jerky movement: worn rollers, dry hinges or loose hardware. We swap in quiet nylon rollers and tune the door.
• Bent or damaged panels: section replacement or reinforcement struts, matched to your door where possible.
• Door won’t close or reverses: misaligned safety sensors, limit settings or a failing opener.
• Opener issues: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Marantec, Craftsman and more. Repair or replacement.
• Weather seals and bottom rubber: keep out dust, heat and rodents.

What is an overhead garage door?

“Overhead door” usually means a sectional door. Its panels roll up on tracks and sit flat under the ceiling. It’s the most common type in LA homes. We also service one-piece doors, heavy custom wood and glass doors, and commercial overhead doors. Heavier architectural doors in hillside and custom homes need precise balancing and stronger springs. Our technicians do this every week.

How a repair visit works

1. Full door check: springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, opener and sensors. We don’t just look at the part that failed.
2. Clear options: we explain what’s wrong and what we recommend before starting.
3. Repair: most parts are on the truck, so most doors are fixed in one visit.
4. Balance and safety test: we test balance, opener force and the auto-reverse, and lubricate the moving parts.

Safety first

If your overhead door is off track or hanging crooked, don’t run the opener and don’t try to force the door. Overhead doors are heavy and under spring tension, and a door that’s half off its track can fall. Keep people and cars clear and call a pro.

Repair or replace?

Most overhead doors can be repaired. If panels are badly damaged, parts are no longer available, or you want better insulation and a new look, we also install new garage doors. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way.

Overhead garage door repair FAQ

What are the most common overhead door repairs?

Broken springs, snapped cables, doors off track, worn rollers and hinges, and opener or sensor problems. Daily use wears these parts, especially in Valley heat.

My door came off the track. Can I push it back?

Please don’t. The door is heavy and under spring tension. Unplug the opener, keep clear and call us. Re-setting the track safely needs the door’s weight to be controlled.

Why does my overhead door make a grinding or banging noise?

Usually dry or worn rollers, loose hinges or a spring near the end of its life. A tune-up with new rollers and lubrication often makes the door much quieter.

Do you repair heavy wood and glass overhead doors?

Yes. Custom wood and aluminum-and-glass doors are common in LA homes. They need careful spring sizing and balancing, and we service them regularly.

Can you fix it the same day?

In most cases, yes. Our trucks carry common springs, cables, rollers and hardware.

Do you service commercial overhead doors?

Yes. We repair commercial sectional overhead doors as well as residential ones.
