Commercial Garage Door Repair
If you own a commercial garage door, you may know that a properly functioning commercial door can save you a lot of time and money that would otherwise be spent on repairs. That’s why we offer same-day repair services for commercial garage doors in New York City, including Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Queens. If your commercial garage door is having issues and you’re considering continuing to use it or attempting to fix it yourself, we recommend that you reconsider.

New Garage Door Installation in New York
Sometimes, the cost of repairing a garage door can exceed the price of purchasing a brand-new door. Therefore, when we receive calls for garage door repairs, we often end up installing a new garage door. When you plan to buy a new garage door, there are a few things you need to consider before making a decision:
- What is your budget?
- What type of door do you need (insulated/non-insulated)?
- Do you need an electric garage door?
- What size do you want?
- What color do you want for the garage door?
- Should there be windows?
We can help you answer these questions with our extensive experience in garage door repair and installation. After handling hundreds of garage door projects in New York City, no project is too simple or too complex for us. Call us at 929-500-0059.
New York Garage Door Spring Repair
One common issue that prevents garage doors from functioning correctly is a broken spring. The spring system usually consists of 1-4 springs, and when it’s a torsion spring system, it typically has two springs. This system is what allows even heavy garage doors to be lifted and opened easily, and ensures that garage doors weighing hundreds of pounds close smoothly. When the garage door spring breaks, the door can become unbalanced, which can be dangerous. If you suspect that your garage door spring is broken, you should stop using the garage door and contact a company that repairs garage doors in New York City.
Automatic Garage Door Operators
Having an automated garage door makes operating the door easier and more convenient, especially for those who use their garage door daily. There are various types of openers on the market, so everyone can find one that suits their needs. From quiet belt-driven openers to chain-driven openers, we provide openers from leading garage door opener brands, such as Lift-Master. It’s important to note that the opener doesn’t provide the power to lift the garage door; rather, it’s the spring system that does most of the work. Therefore, if your opener is having difficulty lifting the garage door, don’t assume that the opener is at fault; there may be other issues at play, such as a broken spring or other problems with the garage door mechanism.
DIY Garage Door Repairs
If you search for DIY garage door repairs on YouTube, you’ll find countless videos explaining how to fix garage doors yourself. While we appreciate those who try to fix things themselves before contacting a technician, there’s an important caveat—some repairs should be left to professionals who have the tools, experience, and parts needed to ensure the job is done safely. This brings us to the next topic: garage door safety.
Garage Door Repair Safety in New York City
Broken, damaged, or off-track garage doors—or any issues that may prevent a garage door from functioning as it should—should not be used until they are inspected by a trained garage door technician. Sometimes, the issue may be something you can resolve in a few minutes, but at other times it may be very complex and costly, making it best to replace your garage door altogether. However, one thing should never be done: don’t ignore the problem, thinking it will go away on its own. It won’t. Ignoring issues can lead to two outcomes:
- More Serious Problems: Using a broken garage door typically leads to further damage until the door stops working altogether. For example, using a garage door with a broken spring can burn out the opener since it now has to lift what the spring should have lifted.
- Risking Your Safety: Using a broken garage door can be dangerous and could lead to serious injuries. Some garage doors weigh hundreds of pounds, and when they become unbalanced, they can pose significant risks.
Garage Door Openers in New York City
If you have an automatic garage door (controlled by an electric opener), you need to be aware that one of the most common issues causing a garage door to not close completely or to only partially close and then reopen is a problem with the garage door opener, specifically the safety sensors. There are many possible reasons for an opener to stop working or not function as it used to, ranging from incorrect installation of the garage door opener to a lack of garage door maintenance. If you are having issues with your garage door opener or suspect that something is wrong with its operation, contact Door Doctors in New York so they can send an expert to repair your damaged garage door opener. Door Doctors can service any top garage door in New York City. We offer same-day service for both new garage door opener installations in Queens and garage door repairs in Brooklyn, and we also provide parts for garage door openers, such as keypads, remotes (clickers), and more. We don’t just limit ourselves to residential operators in New York; we also provide industrial operators for garage doors in New York City, making us a company capable of handling any garage door failure, whether it’s a damaged opener or a broken garage door spring.
Off-Track Garage Door Repair
If your garage door is off-track, be careful not to try to use the door and contact a local garage door expert who can come and put the door back on track. An off-track (or derailed) garage door is one of the most dangerous garage door problems and can cause the door to malfunction. Whether it’s a broken garage door in the Bronx or a damaged garage door in Staten Island, do not use the door if it is off-track! If you closely observe your garage door, you will see that the elements holding the overhead door on the track are the rollers. Whenever a roller goes off the track, the door cannot and should not be used until a New York City garage door expert puts it back on track. You may consider pushing the roller back onto the track without the assistance of a certified garage door technician in New York City, but that would be a mistake, as there is always a reason why a garage door goes off track, and that issue should be resolved before the door can be used again. If the problem is not addressed, the door may go off track again, and the next time it does, it could be more dangerous as the overhead door could come completely off the track.

Causes of Off-Track Garage Doors
Many factors can lead to a garage door going off track. Regardless of the cause, it’s important to stop using the door and wait for a qualified overhead garage door expert to handle the off-track door, just like all of Door Doctors’ technicians. The reasons for a door going off track can vary depending on whether it is a commercial overhead door or a residential garage door. What’s important is that you use local garage door repair workers from New York City for repairs and do not attempt to force the door open or closed. Sometimes, the door may be completely stuck, and sometimes it may still be movable, but that doesn’t mean you should attempt to move it.

Garage Door Technicians in New York
Door Doctors believe that technicians (whether rolling door technicians or garage door repair workers) need not only the ability to fix problems but also to identify and resolve the initial causes of those issues. Many things can differentiate professional garage door technicians from amateurs. The ability to solve complex issues is what sets Door Doctors technicians apart from other technicians in New York City. Over the years, while repairing overhead doors in New York City, we have received numerous service calls from customers who were nearly ready to give up on repairing their garage doors and were prepared to replace them until the technicians from Door Doctors arrived and solved the problems.
Commercial Overhead Door Technicians
We train our overhead door specialists so that when they receive calls about garage door repairs in New York City, they can handle both residential and industrial overhead doors. We believe that every garage door technician, whether in Brooklyn or Nyack, should be able to handle both residential and commercial garage doors if they consider themselves true experts. The operational mechanisms of industrial and residential overhead doors are nearly the same, but the doors and parts, as well as the tools used to repair or install the doors, are heavy-duty. To put it simply, technicians hoping to repair heavy commercial overhead doors or garage doors in New York City need a tall ladder so they can reach the high industrial overhead doors located in Westchester County. Commercial overhead doors are definitely not suitable for DIY repairs. When damaged, they can be very dangerous, and an untrained person attempting to repair the door can lead to injuries. We offer emergency garage door and roll-up door repair services in New York City and can repair any damaged garage door—commercial or residential—today.
