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

Living with Omaha's wild temperature swings and hail means garage doors work harder here than most people realize. high wind & grit wear tracks and temp swings fatigue springs both feed straight into a garage door slams shut, which is why our Douglas County techs treat the cause, not just the door in front of them.

What might be wrong

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