A garage door that slams shut in Aurora has lost the spring tension that controls its descent — a serious safety issue we treat as urgent.

A garage door slams shut rarely happens in a vacuum. Aurora's freezing cold and heavy snow wears doors down — ice freezes doors shut — and we get a clear run of these calls every winter cold snap. A local pro fixes the underlying cause and backs it with a one-year warranty.

What might be wrong

Common causes when your garage door slams shut

Here's what our local techs check first — and what each one usually means.

A broken spring
With no counterbalance, the full weight of the door drops fast.
A snapped cable
A failed cable removes the control on one or both sides.
A failed opener or worn pulley
Worn lift hardware can let the door fall.
How we fix it

Fixed fast by a local Aurora pro

We secure the door, replace the spring or cable, and confirm a controlled, balanced close before we leave.

Why call a pro?

Garage doors are heavy and spring-loaded. A licensed tech diagnoses the real cause, fixes it safely, and backs it with a 1-year warranty — usually the same day you call.

Broken Garage Door Spring
A snapped spring makes the door dangerously heavy. Leave it closed and let a trained tech handle the tension.
Snapped Garage Door Cable

Garage Door Feels Too Heavy
