Included in repair service
Garage door spring repair and replacement
Springs carry the weight of the door. When one breaks, the door usually stops lifting, feels extremely heavy, or rises unevenly. Lift Doctors replaces broken torsion and extension springs across Greater Memphis, sized to the door rather than to whatever fits.
- Broken torsion springs replaced with springs matched to door weight, height, and hardware
- Extension spring systems inspected along with cables, pulleys, and safety containment
- Uneven lifting traced through balance, cable, and drum condition, not just the visible break
- Repeat spring failures reviewed for sizing, cycle life, binding, and track alignment
- Manual balance test to confirm the counterbalance is doing its share again
Professional spring repairs often fall between $250 and $500. That is a typical range, not a quote—door size, spring type, quantity, hardware condition, and access all affect the final price, and you get an estimate before work begins. Never attempt spring work yourself: springs store enough energy to cause serious injury.
Included in repair service
Garage door opener repair, replacement, and safety sensors
An opener that hums, reverses, or ignores the remote is not always a bad motor. We test the opener together with the door it has to move, because a door that is out of balance will defeat a perfectly good opener.
- Motors, gears, trolleys, travel settings, and force adjustments diagnosed
- Remotes, keypads, and wall controls reprogrammed or replaced
- Safety sensors realigned, cleaned, or replaced—never bypassed
- LiftMaster and Genie systems serviced, including smart MyQ-compatible options
- Replacement discussed honestly when parts, wear, or age make repair a poor value
Before any new opener goes in, the door itself is balanced and moving correctly. Installing a new opener on an unbalanced door simply moves the failure down the road.
