When a spring breaks, the door becomes inoperable or extremely dangerous to operate manually. At Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound, spring repair and replacement is one of our most frequently performed services, and our technicians handle it safely every day. There are two main types of garage door springs: torsion springs, which are mounted on a shaft above the door opening, and extension springs, which run along the horizontal tracks on either side. Torsion springs are the more common system in modern installations and are generally considered safer and longer-lasting. Extension springs are found on many older homes and in garages with limited headroom. We service and replace both types. The average lifespan of a standard garage door spring is roughly 10,000 cycles, where one cycle equals one full open-and-close operation. For a household that opens the door four times per day, that works out to approximately seven years. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000 or even 50,000 cycles are available and are a worthwhile investment if you use your garage door frequently or want to reduce the likelihood of a future failure. Springs fail for several reasons. Normal wear and fatigue is the most common cause, but corrosion from Washington's damp climate can accelerate the process significantly. Cold weather also increases the brittleness of spring steel, which is why spring failures are more common during the cooler months. Warning signs that your springs are nearing the end of their life include the door feeling heavier than usual, visible gaps or elongation in the spring coils, the door not staying open when lifted halfway, and loud squeaking or grinding from the spring area. Spring replacement is not a do-it-yourself job. Torsion springs are under extreme tension, and an improperly wound spring can release with enough force to cause serious injury or death. Our technicians use professional winding bars, calibrated torque measurements, and manufacturer specifications to ensure every spring is installed correctly and safely balanced. We also inspect and replace cables, bearing plates, and drums when needed, since these components work together as a system. Every spring replacement includes a full door balance test and safety inspection. We adjust the spring tension until the door holds its position at the halfway point without drifting up or down, which indicates proper balance and minimizes strain on your opener. **What's included:** - Torsion and extension spring replacement - High-cycle spring upgrades available (25,000+ cycles) - Same-day emergency service for broken springs - Cable, drum, and bearing plate inspection included - Full door balance test after every installation - Rust and corrosion assessment for Pacific Northwest conditions - Safety inspection of all spring-related hardware **Warning signs you need this service:** - Loud bang from the garage - Door feels much heavier than normal - Visible gaps in torsion spring coils - Door does not stay open at halfway point - Cables appear slack or loose **FAQ:** **Q: How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?** A: The most obvious sign is a loud bang from the garage followed by the door refusing to open or feeling extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually. You may also see a visible gap in the torsion spring above the door, or notice that the cables have gone slack. If any of these apply, do not attempt to operate the door and call for service. **Q: Can I replace a garage door spring myself?** A: We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs are wound under extreme tension, and improper handling can result in serious injury or death. Even extension springs can cause harm if they release unexpectedly. Professional technicians have the proper tools, training, and experience to perform this work safely. **Q: How long do garage door springs last?** A: Standard springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles, which translates to about seven to ten years for an average household. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000 to 50,000 cycles are available and can last 15 to 25 years. Usage frequency, climate conditions, and maintenance habits all affect spring lifespan. **Q: Should I replace both springs at the same time?** A: Yes, we recommend replacing both springs even if only one has broken. Springs are installed in matched pairs and wear at the same rate. If one has failed, the other is likely near the end of its life as well, and replacing both saves you the cost of a second service call in the near future. **Q: How much does garage door spring replacement cost?** A: The cost varies based on the spring type, door size, and whether you choose standard or high-cycle springs. We provide an upfront price before starting any work, so there are no surprises. In most cases, spring replacement is significantly less expensive than a full door replacement. **Q: Why did my spring break in cold weather?** A: Cold temperatures increase the brittleness of spring steel, making it more prone to snapping. This is a common pattern during late fall and winter. High-cycle springs made from higher-grade steel are more resistant to cold-weather failure and may be worth considering if your garage is unheated. --- ### Emergency Garage Door Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/emergency-garage-door-repair Availability: 24/7 Emergency Service Typical cost: $150–$1,000+ Time estimate: 2-4 hour response, 1-2 hours for most repairs Garage door stuck open? Car trapped inside? A broken garage door at the wrong time is more than an inconvenience — it is a security risk, a safety hazard, and an emergency that cannot wait until Monday morning. Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound provides 24/7 emergency garage door repair service throughout the greater Puget Sound region. We respond to emergency calls for the situations that simply cannot wait. A broken torsion spring that leaves your door inoperable and your vehicle trapped in the garage. A door that has jumped off its tracks and is hanging at an angle, unable to open or close. Storm damage from fallen branches or high winds that has bent panels, broken hardware, or compromised the structural integrity of the door. And break-in damage where a forced entry has left your garage unsecurable, exposing your home and belongings. Our emergency technicians arrive with fully stocked service trucks carrying springs, cables, rollers, hinges, track sections, and opener components for the most common residential door systems. In the majority of emergency calls, we are able to complete the repair in a single visit without needing to return with additional parts. For situations involving panel damage where a specific replacement panel must be ordered, we will secure the door in a closed and locked position so your home is protected while we arrange the replacement. The Puget Sound region presents unique emergency scenarios that we are well prepared for. Winter storms frequently bring down tree limbs that strike garage doors, and sustained high winds can push doors off their tracks, particularly older or lighter-weight models. Heavy rain can also flood garages and damage the bottom seal and lower panel sections. Our technicians understand these regional conditions and carry the materials needed to address storm-related damage on the spot. When you call our emergency line, you speak directly to a dispatcher who will assess the situation and provide an estimated arrival time. We prioritize calls based on safety risk: a door stuck open that cannot be secured takes priority over a door stuck closed where the home is still secure. We are transparent about our emergency service rates before dispatching a technician, so you know exactly what to expect. Safety is our top concern during every emergency call. Our technicians secure the area, disconnect the opener to prevent accidental activation, and ensure the door is in a safe and stable condition before beginning the repair. If the door cannot be fully repaired on site, we will secure it in the closed position and schedule the follow-up work at our standard service rates. **What's included:** - 24/7 emergency dispatch — call for immediate assistance - Broken spring replacement — same-visit resolution - Off-track door realignment and repair - Storm and wind damage repair - Break-in and forced-entry damage repair - Temporary door securing when full repair requires parts - Transparent emergency pricing — no hidden fees **Warning signs you need this service:** - Door stuck open and will not close - Broken spring with loud bang - Door jumped off tracks - Opener failure preventing door from locking **FAQ:** **Q: What qualifies as an emergency garage door repair?** A: We classify an emergency as any situation where your garage door cannot be secured in the closed position, where a vehicle is trapped and you need immediate access, or where a safety hazard exists such as a door hanging off its tracks. If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us and our dispatcher will help you assess it. **Q: How fast can you respond to an emergency call?** A: When you call, our dispatcher will assess your situation and provide an estimated arrival time based on technician availability and your location. We prioritize calls based on safety risk and urgency. **Q: Is emergency service more expensive than a regular repair?** A: During normal business hours, standard service rates apply. After-hours emergency service is available at premium rates, approximately double the standard rate, to cover dispatch outside of regular hours. We are upfront about the cost before dispatching a technician so you can make an informed decision. **Q: What if the repair cannot be completed on the first visit?** A: If a specific part such as a replacement panel needs to be ordered, our technician will secure the door in a closed and locked position so your home is protected. We then schedule the follow-up repair at our standard service rates, with no additional emergency fee for the completion visit. **Q: My garage door was damaged in a storm. Will insurance cover the repair?** A: Many homeowner insurance policies do cover garage door damage from storms, fallen trees, and other weather events. We provide detailed invoices and photographs that you can submit to your insurance company. We recommend contacting your insurer before or shortly after the repair to confirm your coverage and deductible. **Q: Can you secure my garage after a break-in?** A: Yes. After a forced entry, we can repair or replace damaged panels, tracks, and locking mechanisms to restore your garage door to a secure state. If the damage is severe enough to require a full door replacement, we will secure the opening with a temporary barrier and expedite the replacement installation. --- ### Residential Garage Door Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/garage-door-repair Availability: 24/7 Emergency Service Typical cost: $100–$500+ Time estimate: 1-2 hours for most repairs, completed in a single visit Your garage door is the largest moving part of your home, and when it stops working properly, it affects your daily routine, your home security, and your family's safety. At Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound, our factory-trained technicians diagnose and repair every type of residential garage door problem, from broken torsion springs and snapped cables to doors that have jumped off their tracks. We keep our service trucks stocked with the most commonly needed parts, including springs, rollers, hinges, cables, weather seals, and opener components. That means most repairs are completed in a single visit without the delay of ordering parts and scheduling a return trip. Our technicians carry calibrated torque tools and use manufacturer-specified replacement parts to ensure every repair meets or exceeds the original equipment standards. Common problems we see include worn-out extension and torsion springs, which typically last seven to twelve years depending on usage. Washington's wet climate also accelerates rust and corrosion on steel components, particularly on homes near the coast or in areas with heavy rainfall. We inspect for these conditions during every service call and recommend preventive measures when appropriate. Beyond springs, we handle noisy door operation caused by worn rollers or loose hardware, opener malfunctions including circuit board failures and gear stripping, panel damage from vehicle impact or storm debris, and weatherstripping replacement to keep rain and drafts out of your garage. If your door hesitates, reverses unexpectedly, or makes grinding sounds, those are signs that a component is failing and should be inspected before the problem worsens. We also perform a complimentary safety inspection with every repair visit. This includes testing the auto-reverse mechanism, checking the photo-eye sensor alignment, inspecting the spring and cable condition, and verifying that the door is properly balanced. A door that is out of balance puts unnecessary strain on the opener and shortens the life of every moving component. Same-day emergency service is available for safety-critical failures such as broken springs, doors stuck in the open position, or doors that will not close and lock. We understand that a garage door that won't secure is a home security issue, and we prioritize those calls accordingly. **What's included:** - Same-day emergency repair service - Torsion and extension spring replacement - Opener diagnosis and repair - Panel replacement and dent repair - Track realignment and roller replacement - Cable and hinge replacement - Weather seal and bottom seal installation - Complimentary safety inspection with every repair **Warning signs you need this service:** - Door makes grinding or squeaking noises - Door does not open or close completely - Visible damage to panels or hardware - Door reverses before reaching the floor - Uneven movement or door hangs crooked - Opener runs but door does not move - Door feels heavier than usual when lifting manually **FAQ:** **Q: How quickly can you respond to a repair call?** A: For emergencies like broken springs or doors stuck open, we offer same-day service. Standard non-emergency repairs are typically scheduled within one to two business days, depending on your location and our current volume. **Q: Is it worth repairing my garage door or should I replace it?** A: It depends on the door's age, overall condition, and the cost of the repair relative to replacement. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 50 percent of a new door's price and the door is over 15 years old, replacement usually makes more sense. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment and never push for unnecessary work. **Q: Why is my garage door so noisy?** A: The most common causes of noisy garage doors are worn nylon or steel rollers, loose hardware, and lack of lubrication on moving parts. In some cases, the hinges or spring system may be the source. A technician can pinpoint the cause and typically resolve it in under an hour. **Q: Can you repair just one damaged panel?** A: Yes, in most cases individual panels can be replaced without replacing the entire door. However, the panel must still be available from the manufacturer, and the remaining panels need to be in reasonable condition. We will check availability and let you know your options before starting any work. **Q: Do you provide a warranty on repairs?** A: Yes. All of our repair work is backed by a warranty on both parts and labor. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair and the parts used, and your technician will explain the coverage before completing the job. **Q: My garage door reverses before hitting the floor. What is wrong?** A: This is usually caused by misaligned photo-eye sensors, incorrect close-limit settings on the opener, or an obstruction in the door's path. It can also indicate that the door is out of balance, which puts excess strain on the opener. Our technicians can diagnose and correct all of these issues during a standard service call. --- ### Garage Door Cable Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/garage-door-cable-repair Availability: 24/7 Emergency Service Typical cost: $90–$350+ Time estimate: 30-90 minutes Garage door cables work in tandem with the spring system to safely raise and lower your door. These steel cables connect the bottom brackets of the door to the cable drums at the top of the door opening, transferring the lifting force generated by the torsion springs into smooth vertical movement. When a cable frays, jumps off the drum, or snaps entirely, the door can hang crookedly, jam in the tracks, or drop unexpectedly, creating a serious safety hazard. At Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound, we see cable problems regularly. The combination of moisture-laden air, temperature swings between seasons, and frequent use puts significant wear on steel cables over time. Fraying often begins where the cable wraps around the drum or connects to the bottom bracket, areas where repeated bending and tension concentrate stress on individual wire strands. Catching frayed cables early during a routine inspection can prevent a complete cable failure that leaves your door inoperable. A snapped cable requires immediate attention. When one cable breaks, the door loses balanced support on that side and can tilt or slide in the tracks, potentially damaging the door panels, track hardware, or the items in your garage. Attempting to operate the door with a broken cable risks further damage to the entire system and should be avoided. Our cable repair service addresses the full range of cable-related issues. We replace frayed and broken cables with aircraft-grade galvanized steel cable matched to the weight and size of your door. We inspect and service the cable drums, checking for wear grooves and proper alignment that could cause the new cable to wear prematurely. We also examine the bottom brackets and connection points, because cable failure is often a symptom of a related problem such as a worn drum, a binding track, or an improperly tensioned spring. Because cables and springs operate as a unified system, we always inspect the torsion springs when performing a cable repair. A spring that is nearing the end of its life cycle can put uneven stress on the cables, accelerating wear. By evaluating the entire lifting system together, we ensure the repair addresses the root cause rather than just the visible symptom, giving you a longer-lasting result and a safer door. All cable repairs include a full door balance test and safety check before we consider the job complete. We test the door in manual mode to verify smooth travel throughout the full range of motion and confirm proper cable tension on both sides. **What's included:** - Emergency cable repair and replacement service - Aircraft-grade galvanized steel replacement cables - Cable drum inspection and replacement - Bottom bracket and hardware inspection - Full spring system evaluation with every cable repair - Door balance testing and safety verification - Service for both residential and light commercial doors **Warning signs you need this service:** - Door hangs at an angle - Visible fraying of cables - Cables appear slack - Door dropped suddenly during operation **FAQ:** **Q: How can I tell if my garage door cable is broken?** A: The most obvious sign is the door hanging crooked or unevenly in the opening. You may also notice loose cable hanging near the bottom of the door, the door making grinding noises, or the door refusing to open or close smoothly. If the door appears tilted when partially open, stop using it immediately and call for service. **Q: What causes garage door cables to break?** A: Cables break due to normal wear over time, corrosion from moisture exposure, and stress from repeated bending around the cable drums. A broken or weakened spring can also cause premature cable failure by placing uneven load on the cables. In our climate, moisture accelerates corrosion of steel cable strands. **Q: Can I use my garage door with a broken cable?** A: No, you should not operate the door with a broken cable. The door will be unbalanced and can tilt or fall in the tracks, potentially causing damage to the door panels, track system, or anything beneath the door. Disconnect the opener and leave the door in place until a technician can make the repair. **Q: How long does a cable repair take?** A: Most cable replacements take between 45 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on whether additional components like drums or brackets also need attention. Our trucks carry standard cable sizes, so the majority of repairs are completed in a single visit without needing to order parts. **Q: Do cables and springs need to be replaced at the same time?** A: Not necessarily, but we always inspect the springs when replacing cables because they work as a system. If the springs are near the end of their rated cycle life, replacing them at the same time as the cables prevents a return visit and ensures the new cables are not subjected to uneven forces from aging springs. **Q: How often should garage door cables be inspected?** A: We recommend a visual inspection at least twice per year and a professional inspection annually. Look for visible fraying, rust spots, or cable that appears loose or has slack when the door is closed. Catching wear early is the best way to prevent an unexpected cable failure. --- ### Garage Door Opener Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/garage-door-opener-repair Typical cost: $100–$300+ Time estimate: 1-2 hours for most opener repairs A malfunctioning garage door opener is more than an inconvenience. It can leave you locked out of your garage, prevent your car from getting in or out, and compromise the security of your home. At Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound, we diagnose and repair all types and brands of garage door openers, including chain-drive, belt-drive, screw-drive, and direct-drive models from manufacturers like LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and Craftsman. Opener problems can stem from a variety of sources. Motor burnout is common in older units, particularly those that have been straining against a poorly balanced door for years. Stripped gears inside the drive mechanism are another frequent failure, especially in chain-drive models. Circuit board failures can cause erratic behavior such as the door reversing mid-travel, the opener running without moving the door, or the unit refusing to respond to remote commands. We carry replacement boards, gears, capacitors, and other internal components for the most common opener models. Sensor and safety system issues are among the most common calls we receive. The photo-eye sensors at the base of the door opening must be properly aligned and free of obstruction for the door to close. When sensors drift out of alignment, get bumped by a bicycle or storage bin, or accumulate dirt on the lens, the door will reverse or refuse to close entirely. Our technicians recalibrate and test the safety reversal system during every opener service call. Remote control and keypad programming is another area where homeowners often need help. Whether you have lost a remote, need to add vehicles to the system, want to reprogram after a security concern, or are upgrading to a smartphone-enabled opener, we handle all of it. We also install and configure Wi-Fi-enabled openers that integrate with home automation platforms, giving you the ability to monitor and control your garage door from anywhere. If your opener is beyond repair or more than 15 years old, we can recommend and install a modern replacement that will be quieter, more reliable, and equipped with current safety features including battery backup for power outages. Belt-drive openers in particular have become very popular for their near-silent operation, which matters in homes where living space is above or adjacent to the garage. Every opener repair includes a test of the full system: remote range, wall button function, safety reversal, auto-close timer if equipped, and proper force settings to prevent the opener from overworking against a binding door. **What's included:** - All major brands serviced: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman - Motor, gear, and circuit board replacement - Photo-eye sensor alignment and calibration - Remote and keypad programming - Smart opener and Wi-Fi integration upgrades - Belt-drive and chain-drive system repairs - Battery backup installation for power outages **Warning signs you need this service:** - Motor runs but door does not move - Door reverses before fully closing - Remote or wall button not responding - Grinding or clicking from motor unit **FAQ:** **Q: Why is my garage door opener running but the door is not moving?** A: This is usually caused by stripped gears inside the opener drive mechanism. The motor runs, but the broken gears cannot transfer that motion to the chain, belt, or screw drive. In most cases, the gear assembly can be replaced without replacing the entire opener unit. **Q: My remote works intermittently. What could be wrong?** A: Intermittent remote operation can be caused by a weak battery in the remote, radio frequency interference from nearby devices, or a failing antenna wire on the opener unit. Our technicians test signal strength and can replace the antenna or reprogram the remote to resolve the issue. **Q: Should I repair my old opener or replace it?** A: If your opener is more than 15 years old, lacks current safety features like auto-reverse and photo-eye sensors, or requires a repair that costs more than half the price of a new unit, replacement is usually the better investment. Modern openers are quieter, safer, and often include smart-home connectivity. **Q: Can you add Wi-Fi capability to my existing opener?** A: In many cases, yes. Several manufacturers offer retrofit Wi-Fi modules that connect to compatible opener models and allow smartphone control. If your opener is not compatible, we can install a new Wi-Fi-enabled unit that integrates with platforms like myQ, Google Home, or Amazon Alexa. **Q: Why does my garage door reverse before closing completely?** A: The most common causes are misaligned photo-eye sensors, incorrect close-force or close-limit settings, or an obstruction in the door's travel path. It can also happen if the door is out of balance, which makes the opener work harder than its force settings allow. Our technicians check all of these during a standard service call. **Q: Will my garage door opener work during a power outage?** A: Standard openers will not function during a power outage, but most modern openers can be equipped with a battery backup that provides several open-and-close cycles during an outage. We install battery backup systems on both new and existing compatible openers. --- ### Torsion Spring Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/garage-door-torsion-spring-repair Availability: 24/7 Emergency Service Typical cost: $150–$450+ Time estimate: 1-2 hours Torsion springs are the most critical component in your garage door system. Mounted horizontally above the door opening, they use torque to counterbalance the weight of the door, making it possible for your opener to lift a door that may weigh 150 to 300 pounds or more. When a torsion spring breaks, the door becomes effectively inoperable and potentially dangerous to operate manually. At Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound, our technicians specialize in torsion spring systems and understand the engineering behind proper spring sizing and balancing. Unlike extension springs that stretch along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door, torsion springs wind and unwind on a steel shaft above the door opening. This design distributes force more evenly, produces smoother door travel, and generally lasts longer than extension spring systems. Most modern residential garage doors use torsion springs because of these advantages. Proper spring replacement requires precise calculations based on door weight, height, and track configuration. An incorrectly sized spring will cause the door to travel unevenly, put excessive strain on the opener, and wear out prematurely. Our technicians measure and calculate the correct wire gauge, inside diameter, and length for every replacement rather than simply matching what was previously installed, because the original spring may not have been correct to begin with. We stock a wide inventory of standard and high-cycle torsion springs on our service trucks, allowing us to complete most replacements in a single visit. For standard residential doors, we carry springs rated from 10,000 to 50,000 cycles. Upgrading to a higher-cycle spring costs modestly more upfront but significantly extends the time between replacements, which is particularly worthwhile for households that open and close their garage door multiple times per day. Spring sizes can vary greatly depending on the size of your door. A technician will measure and match the correct spring specifications during the service visit — wire gauge, inside diameter, overall length, and required cycles all need to match the door's weight and height, and that calculation can only be confirmed on-site. Spring replacement is one of the most hazardous garage door repairs due to the extreme tension stored in a wound torsion spring. We strongly advise against attempting this repair yourself. Our technicians use professional winding bars and follow strict safety protocols to prevent injury and ensure the spring is properly seated and tensioned. After every replacement, we test the door balance by disconnecting the opener and checking that the door holds its position at the halfway point, confirming the spring is correctly calibrated for the door's weight. **What's included:** - Same-day emergency torsion spring replacement - Precise spring sizing based on door weight and dimensions - High-cycle spring upgrades (up to 50,000 cycles) - Dual spring conversion for single-spring systems - Complete door balance testing after installation - Bearing and shaft inspection included with every replacement - Written warranty on all springs and labor **Warning signs you need this service:** - Loud bang followed by door not opening - Visible gap in spring coils - Door extremely heavy to lift - Door opens a few inches then stops **FAQ:** **Q: How do I know if my torsion spring is broken?** A: The most common sign is a loud bang from the garage followed by the door refusing to open. You may also see a visible gap in the spring above the door, or the door may feel extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually. If your opener strains or the door only opens a few inches before stopping, a broken torsion spring is the most likely cause. **Q: What is the difference between torsion and extension springs?** A: Torsion springs mount horizontally on a shaft above the door opening and use rotational force to lift the door. Extension springs mount along the horizontal tracks on each side and stretch to store energy. Torsion springs provide smoother operation, last longer, and are considered safer because they remain on the shaft even when they break. **Q: How long do torsion springs typically last?** A: A standard torsion spring is rated for approximately 10,000 cycles, where one cycle equals one open-and-close. For a household that uses the garage door four times per day, that translates to roughly seven years. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000 to 50,000 cycles are available and can last significantly longer. **Q: Should I replace both springs at the same time?** A: Yes, we strongly recommend replacing both springs simultaneously if your door uses a two-spring system. Springs installed at the same time wear at roughly the same rate, so when one breaks the other is near the end of its life as well. Replacing both avoids a second service call and ensures balanced door operation. **Q: Can I replace a torsion spring myself?** A: We advise against it. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if handled improperly. Professional technicians use specialized winding bars and follow safety protocols developed through years of training. The cost savings of a DIY attempt are not worth the risk of injury or damage to the door system. **Q: How much does torsion spring replacement cost?** A: The cost depends on the spring size, cycle rating, and whether one or both springs need replacement. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, and there are no hidden fees. Most standard residential torsion spring replacements fall within a moderate price range that includes parts, labor, and a warranty. --- ### Garage Door Panel Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/garage-door-panel-repair Typical cost: $250–$800+ Time estimate: 1-3 hours once panel is available A damaged garage door panel affects more than just curb appeal. Dents, cracks, and bends can compromise the structural integrity of the door, allow moisture and drafts into the garage, and interfere with smooth operation along the tracks. Whether the damage came from a vehicle backing into the door, a stray basketball, storm debris, or simple age-related deterioration, Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound can assess the panel and determine whether repair or replacement is the best path forward. For minor dents in steel panels, our technicians can often reshape the panel on-site without removing it from the door. This approach preserves the original finish and keeps costs down. When a panel is cracked, severely bent, or has broken through its skin, replacement is the better option. We source panels that match the profile, color, and insulation value of your existing door so the replacement blends in seamlessly. If your door model has been discontinued, we work with manufacturers to find the closest available match and discuss your options honestly before ordering. **Older and Discontinued Door Panels** Many older garage door panels cannot be replaced because the style has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Common examples include shiplap profiles and other legacy panel designs that are no longer in production. When replacement panels are not available, a full door replacement is typically the best option — matching only part of a door with a modern profile rarely looks right and can create operational issues where the panels meet. Our technicians can assess whether your specific panel is still available and walk you through what options actually exist for your door model before any work begins. Insulation is an important consideration during any panel repair. Many modern garage doors use polyurethane or polystyrene insulation sandwiched between steel skins. A damaged panel can break the thermal barrier, which matters where winter temperatures regularly dip into the thirties and forties. Replacing a damaged insulated panel restores the door's R-value and helps keep energy costs in check, especially if the garage is attached to the home or used as a workshop. Our technicians also inspect the hinges, rollers, and tracks adjacent to the damaged section. Impact damage often bends a hinge or knocks a roller out of alignment, and overlooking these secondary issues can cause problems after the panel itself is fixed. We document the full scope of damage before starting work so there are no surprises on the invoice. Panel repair is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of an otherwise sound garage door. Replacing one or two panels costs a fraction of a full door replacement and can add years of reliable service. We carry common panel sizes and styles on our trucks, though custom or discontinued panels may require a short lead time for ordering. **What's included:** - On-site dent repair for minor panel damage - Full panel replacement matched to existing door style and color - Insulated panel options to maintain thermal efficiency - Hinge and roller inspection included with panel work - Discontinued panel sourcing and manufacturer coordination - Cost-effective alternative to full door replacement **Warning signs you need this service:** - Visible dent or bend in panel - Cracked panel allowing drafts - Panel separation at joints - Rust holes in panel **FAQ:** **Q: Can a single garage door panel be replaced without replacing the whole door?** A: It depends on the door. Many older doors use discontinued panel styles that are no longer manufactured, which means a matching replacement is not available and a full door replacement is the better path. For newer door models where matching panels are still in production, a single-panel swap is possible and significantly less expensive than replacing the entire door. Our technician assesses whether your specific panel can be matched during the service visit before any work begins. **Q: How do you match the color and style of my existing door?** A: We use the manufacturer's model and color codes stamped on your existing door hardware to order an exact match. If the door model has been discontinued, we work with suppliers to find the closest available panel and show you a sample before proceeding. In rare cases where no match is available, we discuss alternative solutions. **Q: Does a dented panel affect how the garage door operates?** A: It can. A dented panel may not fold correctly at the hinges, which creates binding as the door moves along the track. This puts extra strain on the opener and can cause the door to hesitate or stop mid-travel. Even if the door still opens and closes, a significant dent is worth addressing before it causes secondary damage. **Q: Will a replacement panel have the same insulation as my original?** A: We match the insulation type and R-value of your original panel whenever possible. If you are replacing a non-insulated panel, we can also discuss upgrading to an insulated option. Insulated panels help regulate garage temperature and reduce noise from outside. **Q: How long does a panel replacement take?** A: If we have the matching panel in stock, most replacements are completed in one to two hours. Custom or discontinued panels may require a one- to two-week lead time for ordering, after which the installation itself is still a quick process. --- ### Garage Door Maintenance URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/garage-door-maintenance Typical cost: $139–$159+ Time estimate: 45 minutes to 1 hour per door A garage door is the largest moving component in most homes, cycling up and down over a thousand times per year in a typical household. Like any mechanical system with springs, cables, rollers, and an electric motor, it needs periodic maintenance to operate safely and reliably. Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound offers a comprehensive annual maintenance service designed to catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs or safety hazards. Upgraded rollers are key to a great-running door. Original builder-grade steel rollers wear out quickly and are a common source of noise and binding — during a maintenance visit, we can assess whether upgrading to sealed nylon rollers would meaningfully improve how your door operates. Our maintenance visit begins with a visual inspection of every major component: springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, weatherstripping, and the opener unit itself. We check the springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion, inspect cables for fraying, and examine rollers for flat spots or worn bearings. In our climate, moisture and temperature swings take a toll on metal hardware, so catching early rust or corrosion is especially important. Next, we perform a door balance test. A properly balanced door should stay in place when lifted halfway and released manually. If it drifts up or down, the spring tension needs adjustment. An unbalanced door forces the opener to work harder on every cycle, which shortens the motor's lifespan and increases the risk of a sudden spring failure. Adjusting spring tension is a task that should always be handled by a trained technician because of the high forces involved. We then test the safety reversal system, which is required on all automatic garage doors sold since 1993. This includes both the auto-reverse mechanism, which detects resistance when the door contacts an object, and the photoelectric sensors near the floor that stop the door if the beam is broken. These features are critical for protecting children, pets, and property, and they must be tested regularly to confirm they are functioning correctly. Finally, we lubricate all moving parts with a garage-door-specific lubricant, tighten any loose hardware, and inspect the weatherstripping along the bottom and sides of the door. Worn weatherstripping lets in rain, drafts, and pests, and replacing it is an inexpensive way to improve both comfort and energy efficiency. After the service, we walk you through anything we found and provide honest recommendations — no upselling on parts or services you do not need. **What's included:** - Complete visual inspection of springs, cables, rollers, and tracks - Door balance testing and spring tension adjustment - Safety reversal system testing (auto-reverse and photo-eye sensors) - Lubrication of all moving parts with door-specific lubricant - Weatherstrip inspection and replacement recommendations - Hardware tightening and hinge inspection - Written report of findings and recommendations **Warning signs you need this service:** - Door not serviced in over a year - Noisy operation - Door moves slowly or hesitates - Visible rust on springs or tracks - Springs are more than 7 years old **FAQ:** **Q: How often should I have my garage door serviced?** A: We recommend a professional maintenance visit once per year for most residential doors. If your door sees heavy use — such as a home business or a family with multiple drivers — twice per year may be appropriate. Annual service is the single most effective way to prevent unexpected breakdowns. **Q: What does a garage door maintenance visit include?** A: Our technician inspects all major components including springs, cables, rollers, tracks, hinges, and the opener. We perform a door balance test, test the safety reversal system, lubricate moving parts, tighten hardware, and check the weatherstripping. You receive a written summary of our findings. **Q: Can I do garage door maintenance myself?** A: Homeowners can handle basic tasks like keeping the tracks clear of debris and applying lubricant to rollers and hinges. However, adjusting spring tension, testing safety systems, and inspecting cables for internal fraying should be done by a trained technician. Garage door springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly. **Q: How long does a maintenance visit take?** A: A typical maintenance visit takes 45 minutes to one hour. If we discover an issue that needs repair, we will let you know and provide a quote before doing any additional work. The maintenance service itself covers inspection, testing, lubrication, and tightening. **Q: Does regular maintenance really prevent breakdowns?** A: Yes. Most garage door failures we see — broken springs, seized rollers, frayed cables — show warning signs well before they fail completely. A trained technician can spot these early indicators and address them at a fraction of the cost of an emergency repair. Regular maintenance also extends the overall lifespan of the door and opener. **Q: Will maintenance make my garage door quieter?** A: In many cases, yes. Noise usually comes from dry or worn rollers, loose hardware, or lack of lubrication. Our maintenance service addresses all three of these common causes. If the noise persists after servicing, we may recommend upgrading to nylon rollers for further noise reduction. --- ### Garage Door Roller Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/garage-door-roller-repair Typical cost: $100–$200+ Time estimate: 45 minutes to 1 hour Garage door rollers are one of the most common wear items on any residential or commercial door system. Each time your garage door opens and closes, the rollers travel along the vertical and horizontal tracks, bearing the full weight of the door through thousands of cycles per year. Over time, rollers develop flat spots, crack, or lose their bearings entirely, leading to noisy operation, jerky movement, and premature wear on other components like tracks and openers. At Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound, our technicians carry both nylon and steel roller options on every service truck. Steel rollers are durable and cost-effective, making them a solid choice for standard residential doors. Nylon rollers, on the other hand, operate significantly quieter because they do not require metal-to-metal contact with the track. For homes with living spaces above or adjacent to the garage, nylon rollers can make a noticeable difference in day-to-day comfort. During a roller replacement, we inspect the entire track system for signs of misalignment, debris buildup, or wear that may have been caused by the failing rollers. Worn rollers often force the opener to work harder, which can shorten the motor's lifespan and increase energy consumption. Replacing rollers before they fail completely helps protect these more expensive components and keeps the door operating smoothly. Common signs that your rollers need attention include grinding or squealing noises during operation, visible wear or chips on the roller surface, the door hesitating or sticking at certain points in its travel, and vibration you can feel through the garage walls. If your door has become noticeably louder over the past few months, worn rollers are the most likely cause. Our roller replacement service includes a full inspection of the track, hinges, and bearing plates, along with lubrication of all moving parts. We typically replace all rollers at once rather than mixing old and new, which ensures even wear and consistent operation across the full travel of the door. Most roller replacements are completed in under an hour, and we clean up any debris left behind from the old hardware. **What's included:** - Nylon and steel roller options available - Quiet-operation nylon rollers for noise-sensitive homes - Full track inspection included with every replacement - All rollers replaced as a set for even wear - Lubrication of tracks, hinges, and bearing plates - Most replacements completed in under one hour **Warning signs you need this service:** - Loud rumbling or grinding noise - Door vibrates when moving - Visible flat spots on rollers - Rollers no longer spin freely **FAQ:** **Q: What is the difference between nylon and steel rollers?** A: Steel rollers are durable and affordable but produce more noise because of metal-to-metal contact with the track. Nylon rollers use a non-metallic wheel that glides quietly along the track, making them the better choice for homes where the garage is near living spaces. Nylon rollers also require less lubrication over their lifespan. **Q: How do I know if my garage door rollers need to be replaced?** A: The most common sign is increased noise — grinding, squealing, or rattling during operation. You may also notice the door sticking or hesitating at certain points, visible chips or flat spots on the roller wheels, or the door wobbling as it moves along the track. **Q: How long do garage door rollers typically last?** A: Standard steel rollers last roughly 10,000 to 15,000 cycles, which translates to about five to seven years of normal residential use. High-quality nylon rollers with sealed bearings can last 20,000 cycles or more. Climate, usage frequency, and maintenance habits all affect roller lifespan. **Q: Can I replace just one or two rollers instead of the full set?** A: We recommend replacing all rollers at the same time. Mixing old and new rollers creates uneven wear patterns, which can cause the door to track unevenly and put extra stress on the opener. Replacing the full set ensures smooth, balanced operation and avoids a second service call in the near future. **Q: Will new rollers make my garage door quieter?** A: In most cases, yes. Worn rollers are the single most common cause of a noisy garage door. Upgrading to nylon rollers in particular can dramatically reduce operating noise. Our technicians also lubricate all moving parts during the replacement, which further reduces sound. --- ## Commercial Services ### Commercial Garage Door Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/commercial-garage-door-repair Availability: 24/7 Emergency Service Typical cost: $300–$2,000+ Time estimate: 2-4 hours for most repairs A malfunctioning commercial garage door does more than inconvenience your operation. It stalls shipments, exposes inventory to weather and theft, creates safety liabilities for employees, and costs your business money with every hour of downtime. At Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound, we understand that commercial door problems require a different level of urgency and expertise than residential service, which is why we offer priority emergency response for business customers to business customers. Our commercial technicians are trained and equipped to service the full range of commercial door systems. Roll-up steel doors, commonly found on storage units and small commercial bays, require specialized knowledge of curtain tension, guide alignment, and barrel assembly maintenance. Sectional overhead doors used in warehouses and distribution centers involve heavy-duty spring systems, commercial-grade openers, and reinforced track hardware that differ substantially from residential components. High-speed doors, used in manufacturing and cold storage facilities where rapid cycling and climate separation are critical, demand precision adjustment of speed controllers, safety sensors, and sealing systems. Loading dock doors present their own set of challenges. These doors endure constant use, forklift impacts, and the stress of dock leveler operation. We repair and replace dock door panels, replace damaged bottom bars and astragals, service dock seals and shelters, and address track damage caused by impact. For facilities that require fire-rated doors, we service and inspect fire doors to ensure they meet code requirements and will perform correctly in an emergency. We work with property managers, facility directors, and business owners to minimize disruption during repairs. For planned maintenance and non-emergency repairs, we schedule service during off-hours or low-traffic periods to keep your operations running. For emergencies, we dispatch technicians with priority scheduling because we know a stuck door at a loading dock or warehouse entrance cannot wait until the next business day. Our commercial service includes preventive maintenance programs designed to reduce unplanned downtime. Regular inspection and servicing of springs, cables, rollers, hinges, weatherstripping, and opener systems catches developing problems before they become failures. For businesses with multiple doors, we offer scheduled maintenance contracts that keep every door in your facility operating reliably. Every commercial repair comes with clear documentation including work performed, parts replaced, and recommendations for future service. This documentation supports your facility maintenance records, insurance requirements, and budgeting for capital improvements. **What's included:** - Priority emergency service for commercial customers - Roll-up, sectional, high-speed, and fire door service - Loading dock door repair and panel replacement - Commercial opener and motor repair and replacement - Preventive maintenance programs and service contracts - Off-hours and weekend scheduling to minimize business disruption - Detailed service documentation for facility records - Code-compliant fire door inspection and repair **Warning signs you need this service:** - Door not opening or closing completely - Unusual noise from motor operator - Door moving slower than normal - Safety sensors not functioning **FAQ:** **Q: How quickly can you respond to a commercial emergency?** A: Commercial emergencies receive priority scheduling. In most cases, we can have a technician on site within a few hours during business days. For after-hours emergencies, we offer extended service availability because we understand that a non-functional commercial door directly impacts your revenue and security. **Q: What types of commercial doors do you service?** A: We service roll-up steel doors, sectional overhead doors, high-speed fabric and rubber doors, fire-rated doors, loading dock doors, and counter shutters. Our technicians carry commercial-grade parts and tools and are trained on the major commercial door manufacturers including Overhead Door, Wayne Dalton, Amarr, and CHI. **Q: Do you offer maintenance contracts for businesses with multiple doors?** A: Yes, we offer scheduled maintenance programs tailored to your facility. These contracts include regular inspections of all door components, lubrication, adjustment, and priority scheduling if a door requires unplanned repair. Preventive maintenance significantly reduces the likelihood of unexpected failures and extends the working life of your door systems. **Q: Can you work outside of normal business hours?** A: Absolutely. We routinely schedule commercial repairs and maintenance during evenings, early mornings, and weekends to accommodate businesses that cannot afford downtime during operating hours. We coordinate with your facility team to find a service window that minimizes impact on your operations. **Q: Do you handle fire door inspections and repairs?** A: Yes, we inspect and repair fire-rated doors to ensure they meet local fire code requirements. This includes testing the drop mechanism, verifying fusible link integrity, checking guide alignment, and confirming that the door closes fully and seals properly. We provide inspection documentation for your fire marshal and insurance records. **Q: What is the cost of commercial garage door repair?** A: Commercial repair costs vary widely based on the door type, size, and the nature of the problem. We provide a written estimate before beginning any work so you can make an informed decision. For ongoing maintenance, our service contracts offer predictable costs that are typically more economical than reactive repairs over time. --- ### Fire Door Inspection & Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/fire-door-services Time estimate: 15-30 minutes per door for inspection; repair and installation vary by scope Fire doors are part of your building's passive fire protection system. When a fire event happens, a properly functioning fire door compartmentalizes the space — slowing the spread of flame and smoke long enough for occupants to evacuate and firefighters to respond. NFPA 80, the Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, sets the requirements for how those doors must be installed, inspected, and maintained. Most local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) enforce NFPA 80 directly. Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound provides the full lifecycle of fire door service: inspection, repair, reset after activation, certification documentation, and new rolling steel fire door sales and installation. Our technicians are trained in NFPA 80 and UL 10C (the fire test method underlying fire door ratings), and we carry the common replacement hardware and seal materials on our service trucks so most fixes happen on the first visit. **Inspection and testing.** Every NFPA 80 inspection covers the door, the frame, the hardware, the glazing, and the clearances. We verify the fire rating label is present and legible, measure perimeter and bottom gaps against the allowable tolerances (maximum 1/8 inch around the perimeter and 3/4 inch at the bottom), test every piece of hardware, confirm the self-closing device fully closes and latches the door, and check for unauthorized field modifications that would void the rating. Doors with automatic closing mechanisms — fusible links or electromagnetic hold-open devices — get a drop test: the hold-open is released and the door must close and latch under its own weight with no manual assist. **Repair.** The issues we see most often are misalignment, damaged smoke seals and intumescent strips, worn or broken hardware, gaps outside tolerance, and self-closer or coordinator malfunctions. We correct alignment and frame issues, replace seals and intumescent material, repair or replace hardware, and re-adjust closers and coordinators so pairs of doors close in the correct sequence. When a fire door has activated or been damaged, the reset process runs inspection → documentation → repair or component replacement → re-test to confirm the door is back to its rated condition before we leave site. **Certification and records.** After inspection and any repairs, we provide certification documentation that records the condition of each fire door assembly, the deficiencies found, the repairs performed, and the final pass/fail status. This is what you present to your AHJ during fire inspections or to your insurance carrier during audits — functional fire doors with complete records are often required for claims to remain valid. We retain copies on our end so you can request duplicates if originals are lost. **Rolling steel fire doors — sales and installation.** For new construction, retrofits, and expansions, we specify and install rolling steel fire doors with UL-labeled ratings of 20, 45, 60, or 90 minutes depending on the code requirement at the opening. The site survey walks hallways, stairwells, exit routes, warehouse openings, loading docks, and garage area penetrations to identify every opening that requires a rated assembly. Standard construction is galvanized or stainless steel with fire-resistant glass using expanding (intumescent) glazing where vision lites are required. Pricing is itemized on every proposal so you can see exactly what each door, motor, and accessory costs. For building owners and facility managers across the Puget Sound, staying ahead of annual inspection deadlines is the difference between routine compliance and scrambling in front of an AHJ. We schedule recurring inspections so your records stay current year after year. **What's included:** - Annual NFPA 80-compliant fire door inspections - Detailed deficiency reports with photographic documentation - Drop testing for fusible link and automatic-closing assemblies - On-site repair of common deficiencies — misalignment, gap corrections, hardware replacement - Smoke seal and intumescent strip replacement - Self-closing device and coordinator repair and replacement - Frame and hardware repair to restore fire rating integrity - Fire door resets after activation, failure, or misuse - Certification documentation for AHJ inspections and insurance audits - Ongoing compliance tracking and inspection scheduling - Rolling steel fire door sales and installation (UL 20, 45, 60, and 90-minute ratings) **Warning signs you need this service:** - Inspection overdue (more than 12 months) - Door does not close and latch automatically - Perimeter or bottom gaps look excessive - Missing or damaged UL fire rating label - Visible damage to smoke seals or intumescent strips - Self-closer slams or fails to fully close **FAQ:** **Q: What does a fire door inspection include?** A: Our NFPA 80 inspection covers the door, frame, hardware, glazing, and clearances. We verify the fire rating label, measure perimeter gaps (max 1/8 inch) and the bottom gap (max 3/4 inch), test all hardware, confirm the self-closing device fully closes and latches the door, check fusible links where present, and document findings with photographs and pass/fail reporting for every assembly. **Q: How often should fire doors be inspected?** A: NFPA 80 requires annual inspection of every fire door assembly at minimum. New installations must be inspected before being placed in service. For high-traffic commercial buildings, quarterly visual checks between annual inspections help catch issues before they become compliance problems. **Q: What is a fire door drop test?** A: A drop test verifies that a fire door with an automatic closing mechanism (fusible link or electromagnetic hold-open) will fully close and latch under its own weight when the hold-open releases. The door is released with no manual assist and must close completely. Doors that hang up, stop short, or fail to latch cannot be relied on in a fire event and require adjustment or repair. **Q: What are the most common fire door problems?** A: The issues we correct most often are misalignment, damaged or worn smoke seals and intumescent strips, worn hardware, perimeter or bottom gaps outside the allowable tolerance, and self-closer or coordinator malfunctions. Unauthorized field modifications — added kick-down holders, drilled penetrations, removed astragals — also void a door's rating and have to be corrected. **Q: What fire ratings are available for rolling steel fire doors?** A: Rolling steel fire doors are UL-labeled at 20, 45, 60, or 90 minutes depending on the code requirement at the opening and the risk profile of the adjacent spaces. Our site survey identifies the required rating for every opening, and we specify and install doors that meet or exceed it. **Q: Do fire doors affect building insurance?** A: Yes. Insurance policies typically require functional fire doors for claims to remain valid after a fire event. Maintaining complete inspection records, drop-test documentation, and certification paperwork also supports better outcomes during insurance audits — some carriers offer premium considerations when meticulous safety records are in place. **Q: What standards govern fire door installation and testing?** A: Two standards do most of the work: NFPA 80 (the Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives) covers installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements. UL 10C defines the positive-pressure fire test method used to rate the doors themselves. Local AHJs enforce these standards and may impose additional requirements specific to your building type. **Q: What is a fire door reset?** A: A reset restores a fire door to its rated operating condition after activation (a release during a fire drill or real event), damage, or misuse. The process is inspection → documentation of what failed or changed → repair or component replacement → re-testing, including a drop test where applicable. The door is not returned to service until every tested function passes. --- ### Loading Dock Equipment URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/loading-dock-equipment Availability: 24/7 Emergency Service Typical cost: $300–$2,500+ Time estimate: 1-4 hours depending on repair type The loading dock is where your supply chain meets your building, and every component has to work together to keep freight moving safely and efficiently. A broken dock leveler stalls trailer unloading. A failed truck restraint creates a deadly safety hazard. A worn-out dock seal lets weather, pests, and energy dollars pour into your facility. Our team installs, repairs, and maintains every piece of equipment at your loading dock so your operations keep running. Dock levelers bridge the gap between your building floor and the trailer bed, and they take enormous punishment from forklift traffic, shifting trailer heights, and constant cycling. We service mechanical, hydraulic, and air-powered dock levelers from all major manufacturers including Rite-Hite, Kelley, Poweramp, and McGuire. Common repairs include hydraulic cylinder replacement, lip hinge repair, deck and lip resurfacing, and hold-down system adjustment. When a leveler is beyond economical repair, we handle full replacement and can recommend the right capacity and style for your traffic volume. Truck restraints, also called vehicle restraints or dock locks, prevent trailers from pulling away from the dock while forklifts are driving in and out. This is not optional equipment — it is a life-safety system. A trailer separation incident can cause serious injuries or fatalities. We install, repair, and inspect truck restraints and ensure that the communication lights between the dock and the driver are functioning correctly. Dock seals and shelters close the gap around the trailer at your dock opening. Seals compress against the trailer sides and top, while shelters create a covered enclosure. Both reduce energy loss, keep weather out, and protect your freight and employees. We replace worn foam pads, repair torn curtains, and install new seal and shelter systems sized to your trailer fleet. High-speed dock doors are increasingly common in temperature-controlled and high-security facilities. These doors open and close rapidly to minimize air exchange and maintain interior conditions. We install and service high-speed fabric doors, insulated high-speed doors, and combination systems that pair a high-speed interior door with a standard sectional exterior door. For distribution centers and warehouses , we offer comprehensive dock equipment maintenance programs. Scheduled inspections catch worn components before they fail, and preventive maintenance extends equipment life while keeping your facility OSHA-compliant. Our maintenance reports document the condition of every dock position, giving facility managers clear visibility into equipment status and upcoming capital needs. **What's included:** - Dock leveler repair and replacement — mechanical, hydraulic, and air-powered - Truck restraint installation, repair, and annual safety inspections - Dock seal and shelter replacement and custom sizing - High-speed door installation and service for temperature-controlled facilities - Preventive maintenance programs for all dock equipment - OSHA compliance inspections and documentation - Emergency repair service to minimize dock downtime - Communication light and interlock system installation and repair **Warning signs you need this service:** - Leveler not raising or lowering - Hydraulic fluid leaks - Truck restraint not engaging - Dock seal torn or not sealing **FAQ:** **Q: How often should loading dock equipment be inspected?** A: We recommend inspecting all loading dock equipment at least annually, with quarterly inspections for high-traffic facilities. Truck restraints in particular should be inspected annually at minimum since they are life-safety devices. Our maintenance programs include scheduled inspections at the frequency appropriate for your dock volume. **Q: What brands of dock levelers do you service?** A: We service dock levelers from all major manufacturers including Rite-Hite, Kelley, Poweramp, McGuire, Nova, and Blue Giant. Our technicians carry common replacement parts and have access to OEM components for all these brands. **Q: Our dock leveler is sinking below floor level. Can it be repaired?** A: A sinking leveler usually indicates a hydraulic issue — either a leaking cylinder, a failing check valve, or low hydraulic fluid. In most cases this is a repair, not a replacement. Our technician will diagnose the specific cause and provide a repair quote. Full replacement is recommended only when the deck structure itself is compromised. **Q: Are truck restraints required by law?** A: OSHA requires employers to provide measures to prevent trailer separation during loading and unloading. While OSHA does not specify truck restraints by name, they are the industry standard solution and are required by many insurance carriers. Using wheel chocks alone does not meet the standard in most enforcement interpretations. **Q: Can you install dock equipment in an existing building?** A: Yes, we retrofit dock equipment into existing facilities regularly. Dock levelers, truck restraints, seals, shelters, and high-speed doors can all be installed in buildings that currently lack them. We survey your dock openings and trailer fleet to recommend the right equipment and sizes for your operation. **Q: How quickly can you respond to a dock equipment emergency?** A: A non-functional dock position costs money every hour it is down. We offer emergency repair service for loading dock equipment with same-day response available. Fleet and maintenance contract customers receive priority scheduling. --- ### Fire Station Door Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/fire-station-door-repair Availability: 24/7 Emergency Service Typical cost: $300–$2,000+ Time estimate: 2-4 hours, priority scheduling Fire station apparatus bay doors are not ordinary commercial doors. They are mission-critical equipment that must open reliably every time an alarm sounds, in any weather condition, at any hour. A door that hesitates, stalls, or fails to open can delay emergency response by minutes, and in fire and rescue operations, minutes cost lives and property. Our technicians understand this reality and treat every fire station door service call with the urgency it deserves. We service all types of apparatus bay doors found in fire stations including high-lift sectional doors, full-vertical-lift doors, and four-fold doors. These doors are larger and heavier than standard commercial overhead doors, and they operate on high-cycle systems designed for frequent daily use. The motors, springs, tracks, and controls are all built to higher specifications, and they require technicians who know the differences. Emergency override systems are a key component of fire station doors. When the primary operator fails, the override system must allow firefighters to open the door manually or through a backup power source without delay. We inspect, test, and repair emergency override mechanisms to ensure they function correctly when needed. This includes battery backup systems, manual chain hoists, and pneumatic release systems. Reliability-focused preventive maintenance is the most cost-effective way to avoid door failures during emergency dispatches. Our maintenance program for fire stations includes scheduled inspections of all door components, lubrication of moving parts, tension testing and adjustment of counterbalance springs, verification of safety devices, and testing of emergency override systems. We work around your station's operational schedule to minimize any disruption to readiness. When a repair is needed, we carry parts for the most common apparatus bay door systems on our service trucks. For specialized components, we maintain relationships with manufacturers that allow us to expedite orders. Emergency repair calls from fire stations receive our highest scheduling priority because we understand that a non-functional bay door directly impacts public safety. We also consult on door system upgrades for stations looking to improve response times. Modern high-speed apparatus bay doors can open significantly faster than older systems, and upgraded controls can integrate with station alerting systems for automatic door activation when an alarm is dispatched. **What's included:** - 24/7 emergency repair service for fire station doors - Preventive maintenance programs designed around station readiness - Emergency override system inspection and repair - High-lift and full-vertical-lift sectional door service - Motor and operator replacement for high-cycle door systems - Integration with station alerting and dispatch systems - Consultation on high-speed door upgrades for faster response times **Warning signs you need this service:** - Door opens slower than normal - Door does not respond to emergency activation - Battery backup not functioning - Safety sensors triggering false stops **FAQ:** **Q: How quickly can you respond to an emergency repair at a fire station?** A: Fire station door repairs receive our highest priority scheduling. We understand that a non-functional apparatus bay door directly impacts emergency response capability. In most cases we can have a technician on-site within hours of receiving the call. **Q: Do you service all types of fire station bay doors?** A: Yes, we service high-lift sectional doors, full-vertical-lift doors, four-fold doors, and bi-fold doors commonly found in fire stations. We work on both new and legacy systems from all major commercial door manufacturers. **Q: What does a preventive maintenance program include for fire station doors?** A: Our fire station maintenance program includes comprehensive inspection of all door components, lubrication of tracks and moving parts, counterbalance spring tension testing, safety device verification, emergency override system testing, and a written report of door condition and any recommended repairs. We schedule visits around your station operations to maintain full readiness. **Q: Can you integrate new doors with our station alerting system?** A: Yes, modern apparatus bay door operators can be connected to station alerting systems so that doors open automatically when a dispatch alarm is received. We can install new systems with this capability or retrofit existing door operators to work with your current alerting infrastructure. **Q: How often should fire station doors be serviced?** A: We recommend quarterly preventive maintenance for apparatus bay doors due to their high cycle count and critical function. Some stations with very high call volumes may benefit from more frequent service. Annual maintenance is the minimum we would suggest for any fire station door. **Q: What should we do if a door fails during a shift?** A: Call us immediately for emergency service. In the meantime, use the emergency override system to operate the door manually. If the override is also non-functional, our dispatcher can walk your crew through manual release procedures over the phone while a technician is en route. --- ### Commercial Garage Door Installation URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/commercial-garage-door-installation Typical cost: $3,000–$80,000+ Time estimate: 1-2 days per door, multi-door projects 1-2 weeks Commercial garage door installation requires precise engineering, code compliance, and specialized equipment that goes beyond residential door work. At Overhead Door Company of Puget Sound, our commercial division installs sectional steel doors, rolling steel doors, high-speed fabric doors, fire-rated doors, and loading dock equipment for businesses. Every commercial installation begins with a site assessment. Our team evaluates the opening dimensions, structural support, electrical requirements, traffic patterns, and environmental conditions to recommend the right door system for your operation. A cold storage facility has different needs than a retail storefront or a fire station — and the door specification must match. We work with architects, general contractors, property managers, and business owners during new construction and retrofit projects. For new builds, we coordinate with the construction timeline to install doors at the right stage. For retrofits, we minimize disruption to your existing operations by scheduling work during off-hours when possible. Our commercial installations include full electrical wiring for operators, safety sensor installation and calibration, fire alarm integration where required by code, and weather seal systems. Every installation is inspected and tested before handoff, including cycle testing the door, verifying safety reverse mechanisms, and documenting the work for your facility records. **What's included:** - Sectional steel, rolling steel, and high-speed door installation - Loading dock doors and dock equipment - Fire-rated door installation with code compliance - Commercial opener and motor operator installation - Safety sensor calibration and fire alarm integration - Coordination with general contractors on new construction - Off-hours installation to minimize business disruption - Complete documentation for facility and insurance records **Warning signs you need this service:** - Existing commercial door cycling slower than normal - Visible rust or structural damage on door panels - Door fails to seal properly against weather or pests - Fire-rated door fails inspection - Motor operator straining or overheating during operation - Door no longer meets current building code requirements **FAQ:** **Q: How long does a commercial garage door installation take?** A: A single commercial door typically takes one to two days to install, depending on the door type and site conditions. Multi-door projects are scheduled sequentially to minimize disruption. We provide a detailed timeline during the proposal phase. **Q: Do you handle permits and code compliance?** A: Yes. Our team is familiar with Washington State building codes and local jurisdiction requirements for commercial door installations. We coordinate any required permits and ensure the installation passes inspection. **Q: What brands of commercial doors do you install?** A: We are an authorized Overhead Door dealer and also install doors from Wayne Dalton, Amarr, CHI, and other major commercial manufacturers. We recommend the best option based on your specific application, budget, and performance requirements. --- ### Box Truck Roll-Up Door Repair URL: https://ohdpugetsound.com/services/box-truck-roll-up-door-repair Availability: 24/7 Emergency Service Typical cost: $190–$275+ Time estimate: 1-2 hours for most on-site repairs Roll-up doors on box trucks and delivery vehicles take a beating. Drivers open and close them dozens of times per day, often in a rush, and the doors are exposed to road vibration, weather, and the occasional loading dock collision. When a roll-up door fails, your vehicle is out of service, your cargo is unsecured, and your delivery schedule starts falling apart. Our commercial door technicians specialize in getting fleet vehicles back on the road quickly. We offer both on-site service and in-shop repair at our Puyallup location. For cost savings, bringing your box truck to our shop is typically the more affordable option — no mobile service travel charge, and we have full shop tooling and parts on hand. If downtime is the bigger cost than the visit fee, we dispatch on-site to your facility or yard. We repair all major brands of truck roll-up doors, including Whiting, Todco, and Warren. Common issues we handle include broken or weakened counterbalance springs, bent or damaged curtain panels, worn-out bottom bar latches, binding tracks, and damaged header assemblies. Our service trucks carry the most frequently needed replacement parts, so many repairs can be completed on-site without waiting for special orders. For fleet operators vehicle downtime translates directly to lost revenue. That is why we offer emergency repair service with priority scheduling for commercial accounts. Whether you have a single box truck or a fleet of fifty delivery vehicles, we can set up a maintenance agreement that includes regular inspections and priority response times when something breaks. Our technicians understand the unique demands of truck roll-up doors versus stationary commercial doors. The counterbalance systems, curtain materials, and track geometries are different, and they require specialized knowledge to repair correctly. A poorly adjusted spring or misaligned track will cause premature wear and lead to another breakdown in weeks rather than years. We also handle panel replacement for doors with dented, cracked, or corroded curtain sections. Individual panels can often be replaced without removing the entire door assembly, which saves time and keeps costs down. For doors that are beyond economical repair, we can source and install complete replacement door assemblies for most truck body manufacturers. Safety is a critical concern with truck roll-up doors. A door that does not latch securely can open during transit, creating a hazard for other drivers and risking cargo loss. We test every repair thoroughly before releasing the vehicle, verifying smooth operation, proper latching, and correct spring tension. **What's included:** - On-site repair at your facility or job site - Emergency service for fleet vehicles with cargo deadlines - Counterbalance spring replacement and tensioning - Roll-up curtain panel replacement for all major brands - Bottom bar and latch mechanism repair - Track straightening, realignment, and replacement - Fleet maintenance agreements with priority scheduling **Warning signs you need this service:** - Door jams during opening or closing - Door will not roll up completely - Visible damage to curtain - Door will not latch or lock **FAQ:** **Q: Can you repair the door at our facility or does the truck need to come to a shop?** A: We perform most roll-up door repairs on-site at your location. Our service trucks carry common replacement parts including springs, panels, and latch components. Only major structural repairs to the truck body itself would require a body shop visit. **Q: How long does a typical box truck roll-up door repair take?** A: Most repairs are completed in one to three hours depending on the issue. Spring replacements and latch repairs are usually on the shorter end, while full panel replacements or track rebuilds may take longer. We prioritize getting your vehicle back in service the same day. **Q: What brands of truck roll-up doors do you service?** A: We repair doors from all major manufacturers including Whiting, Todco, Warren, and Rite-Hite. We also work on doors from less common manufacturers. If you are unsure of your door brand, our technician can identify it during the service call. **Q: Do you offer maintenance plans for fleets?** A: Yes, we offer fleet maintenance agreements that include scheduled inspections and preventive maintenance for all your truck roll-up doors. Fleet accounts also receive priority scheduling for emergency repairs, which helps minimize vehicle downtime. **Q: My roll-up door is hard to open and close. Is that a safety concern?** A: A door that requires excessive force to operate usually has worn springs or misaligned tracks. This is both a safety concern and a sign that further damage is likely if the door is not repaired. We recommend scheduling a service call before the door fails completely. **Q: Can you replace individual panels or does the whole door need to be replaced?** A: In most cases, individual damaged panels can be replaced without removing the entire door assembly. This is significantly less expensive and faster than a full door replacement. Our technician will assess the damage and recommend the most cost-effective solution. --- ## Service Areas - [Algona, WA](https://ohdpugetsound.com/service-locations/algona-wa-services) (98000) - [Auburn, WA](https://ohdpugetsound.com/service-locations/auburn-wa-services) (98002) -
