Garage door repair in Clawson for doors that stick, shake or will not close

People call about garage door repair in Clawson with a few familiar complaints. The door sticks partway up. It shakes the whole frame as it moves. It starts to close and then reverses, or it comes down crooked and will not sit flat. Each symptom has a short list of likely causes: a track out of line, worn rollers, a spring losing strength, a cable catching, or a safety sensor knocked out of aim.

Clawson is a city in Oakland County, a northern suburb of Detroit about 19 miles north of downtown. Whatever the age of the house, Michigan freezing and thawing loosens brackets and hardens old lubricant on every garage door. A door in this condition does not usually fail all at once. It gets louder, slower and less steady first, which is the right time to call.

Tell us when the trouble started and whether it happens at one point in the travel or all the way along.

What we fix

What each symptom usually points to

A door that sticks

Sticking at the same spot each time points to a bent track or a worn roller. Sticking at random points to a spring or cable problem.

A door that shakes

Loose track brackets, flat-spotted rollers and dry hinges all make the door shudder. We tighten, straighten or replace whichever is at fault.

A door that will not close

The cause is often a sensor out of alignment, a dirty eye lens or a limit setting that drifted. We check those before blaming the motor.

A door that reverses

The opener thinks something is in the way. The force setting, the sensors and a stiff door can all trigger this. If the motor is at fault, opener repair covers it.

A door that hangs crooked

One side is lifting more than the other. A cable off its drum or a broken spring on one side is typical.

FAQ

Clawson garage door questions

Why does my garage door shake when it moves?
Usually loose track brackets, worn rollers or dry hinges. Tightening the brackets and replacing worn rollers settles most shaking.
Why will my door not close all the way?
The safety eyes near the floor may be misaligned or blocked, or the down limit may have drifted. We check those and the bottom edge of the door before anything else.
Should I do the repair myself?
Rollers, lubricant and sensor aim are things a careful homeowner can look at. Springs, cables and anything under tension should be left to a technician.
Will any universal opener work on my door?
Often, but fit depends on the drive type, the door's weight and the remote system. We check before you buy so you do not end up with the wrong unit.
What does it cost to fix a door like this?
It depends on which part has failed and what else is worn. Rollers and sensors are small repairs, while springs and panels cost more. We give an upfront quote before any work begins.
How long does a repair take?
Most roller, track and sensor repairs are finished in one visit. We tell you if a bigger job needs more.
Do you work on LiftMaster and Genie openers?
Yes, we do. Tell us the brand and how the door behaves when you press the button.
