Garage door repairs we handle in Glendale
Glendale has a lot of older detached garages, narrow driveways and hillside lots. Garage doors come first for us; here is what we fix most:
- Broken springs. Torsion and side mount springs sized to your door’s weight, then balanced and tested. On two-spring doors we replace both so the door stays balanced.
- Openers, remotes and sensors. Openers that hum but don’t move, misaligned safety eyes, dead keypads, or an upgrade to a quiet belt-drive or wall-mount opener for homes with rooms over the garage.
- Off-track doors. A door that jumps its track shouldn’t be forced. We re-hang it, straighten or replace the track and fit new rollers.
- Cables and drums. Frayed or snapped lift cables replaced so the door can’t drop or hang crooked.
- Dented or damaged panels. Dented or cracked sections from a car bump or age. We repair or replace damaged panels where matching parts are available, or talk through a new door if not.
- New garage doors. Carriage-house, raised-panel, modern glass and aluminum, or insulated steel, measured to fit older and odd-sized openings, installed, and the old door hauled away.

Garage door spring repair in Glendale
Glendale’s older doors are often heavy wood, and their springs are frequently decades old. When one snaps, the door won’t lift and the opener can strip its gear trying. We offer garage door spring repair and replacement: we weigh the door, fit correctly rated torsion or side mount springs, replace both on two-spring doors, and balance and test the door before we leave. If you hear a loud bang in the garage, keep the door closed and call us.
Older homes, canyon streets and condo garages
We work across Glendale’s ZIP codes, from the Brand Boulevard and Americana at Brand area downtown to Verdugo Woodlands, Sparr Heights and Kenneth Village, and up the canyon roads below the Verdugo Mountains. Many homes from the 1920s to 1950s still have original single-car openings that are shorter or narrower than today’s standard sizes, so we measure carefully before ordering a new door. Hillside driveways can be steep and tight, and condo and apartment buildings often have heavier roll-up or commercial-style doors, which we also service. Glendale sits between the San Fernando Valley, Pasadena and the rest of Los Angeles, with the 2, 134 and 5 freeways crossing it, so we plan routes around traffic and give you an honest arrival time. In the foothill areas near Deukmejian Wilderness Park, wind-blown leaves and debris collect at the bottom of doors, so we check the bottom seal too.
Gate repair in Glendale
After garage doors, gates are our second specialty: driveway gate repair, gate operators, keypads and iron gate welding for Glendale homes and buildings. See driveway gate repair, gate operator repair and installation and iron gate repair and welding.

Glendale garage door questions
Can you fix a broken garage door spring in Glendale today?
Often, yes, including nights and weekends. Leave the door closed and stop pressing the opener until we arrive, because the motor strains against the full weight of the door.
Can you fit a new door to an older, odd-sized Glendale garage?
Yes. We measure the opening first and order a door that fits, including shorter or narrower openings common on older homes.
Do you work on condo and apartment garages in Glendale?
Yes. We service roll-up and commercial-style doors on multi-unit buildings as well as single-family homes.
Is Metro GDS licensed?
Yes. Metro GDS Inc. holds California CSLB License #1029826, which you can verify at cslb.ca.gov.
