Emergency line · Call to check availability
Door stuck open, won’t close, or spring just snapped? Emergency garage door repair across Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Long Island, Westchester, northern NJ, and Fairfield County, CT.
Call to check current availability. Total price, tax included, before any work starts.
Find your situation below. The first line is what to do right away; the second is how we fix it.
Right now: Don’t keep hitting the opener button. If the spring above the door is snapped in two, do not pull the red release cord — the door can drop.
Our fix: Broken spring, snapped cable, or failed opener. We carry springs, cables, and opener parts on the truck and usually fix it in one visit.
Right now: Check that nothing is blocking the photo-eye sensors near the floor. If it still won’t close, pull the release cord and lower the door by hand, then lock it.
Our fix: Misaligned sensors, a bent track, or a cable off the drum. We re-secure the opening first, then repair.
Right now: A torsion spring breaking sounds like a gunshot. The door is now far heavier than it looks. Don’t try to lift it by hand.
Our fix: We replace both springs, rebalance the door, and check cables and bearings that the break may have damaged.
Right now: Leave the door where it is — forcing a bent panel through the track makes it worse. Unplug the opener so nobody tries.
Our fix: Panel replacement or straightening, track realignment, and a full safety check of rollers and hinges.
Right now: Do not run the opener. A door off its track can fall. Keep people and pets out of the garage until it’s secured.
Our fix: We reseat the door, replace damaged rollers or cables, and find the cause so it doesn’t happen again.
Right now: If the door is buckled or panels are loose, secure the opening as best you can and photograph the damage for insurance.
Our fix: Emergency board-up or temporary securing if needed, then repair or full replacement with documentation for your claim.
You call (914) 557-6816 or text us a photo on WhatsApp. A real person answers, asks what the door is doing, and tells you whether it’s safe to touch. If a vehicle is trapped or the house is open, the call is prioritized in our dispatch queue.
The dispatcher checks which technician is available near you and confirms a window with you on the call — arrival depends on their current job, traffic, and distance. The technician diagnoses the door, quotes the total price including tax, and only starts work once you’ve approved it.
Our trucks carry torsion and extension springs, cables, rollers, hinges, photo-eye sensors, and common opener parts, so most emergency repairs are finished in the same visit. If a part has to be ordered — a full panel, for example — we secure the opening so your home is locked until it arrives.
We dispatch emergency technicians across the tri-state: the five boroughs, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, northern and central New Jersey, and southwestern Connecticut. Tap your area for local details, or just call — we’ll confirm coverage for your address on the phone.
The quickest way to reach us is to call (914) 557-6816. If you can’t talk right now, send this and we’ll call you back.
Anything that leaves your home or business open, traps a vehicle, or creates a safety risk: a door that won’t close, a door stuck open or half-open, a broken spring or snapped cable, a door that has come off its track, or damage from a vehicle or storm. If you’re not sure, call — we’ll tell you honestly whether it needs an emergency visit or can wait for a normal appointment.
Call the emergency line at (914) 557-6816 and our dispatcher checks current technician availability near you across Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Long Island, Westchester, northern New Jersey, and Fairfield County, CT. Arrival depends on the technician’s current job, traffic, and distance — we confirm your window with you on the call, before you commit to anything.
That depends on current technician availability — call and the dispatcher will check who is near you and confirm a window. Most emergency calls are completed in a single visit because our trucks carry springs, cables, rollers, and common opener parts.
After-hours and holiday appointments may carry a higher rate than a scheduled daytime appointment. Either way, the quote you receive is the total price, inclusive of any fees, surcharges, and applicable taxes, and you get it before any work starts. If a repair can safely wait until morning and save you money, we’ll tell you that too.
First check that nothing is blocking the two small sensors near the floor on each side of the door. If it still won’t close, pull the red emergency release cord, lower the door by hand, and lock it with the manual slide lock or a padlock through the track. Then call us — our technicians can often secure the opening on the first visit and complete the full repair.
We strongly recommend against it. The springs carry most of the door’s weight — a typical double door weighs 200 to 300 pounds — and with a broken spring that weight is on you. Doors have dropped and injured people this way. Leave it, keep the opener unplugged so nobody tries, and call us.
Yes. Our technicians service all major residential and commercial doors and openers, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton. We carry common replacement parts so most emergency repairs are finished in one visit.
Yes. We take emergency calls for warehouses, auto shops, parking garages, and property-managed buildings, including rolling steel doors and loading dock doors. Commercial accounts can be set up with priority dispatch — see our commercial garage door repair page.
