How long do garage doors last?

Garage doors should last anywhere between 15-30 years on average. This number can vary depending on various circumstances. If you happen to live in an area where there's a lot of rain or extreme heat, then your door's life expectancy may be less than expected. Additionally, how frequently you use your garage door can determine how long your door will function properly. The more the garage door is opened and closed, the more the springs become worn out and will need replacement.

How often should my garage door be serviced?

As often as once a year, ideally. We service garage doors year round in Austin, so call and schedule your regular maintenance appointment. Service includes lubricating all moving parts, adjusting spring tension as necessary, checking cables and hardware assemblies, verifying safety sensors, and checking overall door balance. Yearly maintenance helps us spot potential problems before they become big problems.

What are common signs that my garage door needs repairing?

Common signs include unusual noises when opening or closing, your garage door moving slowly, the door being hard to open or close, and any visible damage to the door or its parts.

What should I do if my garage door gets stuck?

If your garage door gets stuck, you should check whether anything is obstructing the tracks on which the door slides. If there's nothing holding the door from closing, then don't try to force the door to open or close, and instead contact our technicians to assist you.

Are there signs that I need garage door spring repair?

YES! The most obvious sign? You'll hear a loud BANG or SNAP in the middle of the night that sounds like a gunshot—that's your spring breaking. When you try to open your door the next morning, it won't budge, or it will feel incredibly heavy.

If your door seems to require excessive force when you lift it by hand, it no longer goes all the way up or down, it falls too fast, you see spaces in the coils of the spring, or you already heard that loud snap, then you need garage door spring repair.

Other symptoms: A door that no longer seems aligned and instead hangs crooked or tilted, or a garage door opener that "kisses" the ceiling or that the opener motor seems to be straining to lift the door. Good news: We stock springs on our trucks and can usually complete the repair the same day you call.

My garage door is making noise. How can I quiet my garage door?

Begin by lubricating all moving parts with garage door lubricant (hinges, rollers, springs and tracks) and inspect for any loose hardware that needs tightening. If the problem continues, the rollers or other parts may be worn and require professional replacement, so give us a call and we will diagnose the problem.

My garage door is off its track – what now?

Don't attempt to re-align your track yourself. Garage doors are heavy (hundreds of pounds) and run on intense spring pressure. If your door is off track, it is unsupported and can fall at any time. Closing it by hand or with your automatic opener will ruin the opener motor and can damage your panels beyond repair. Clear your family and vehicles away from the garage door opening and call Two Brothers Garage Doors immediately. We proudly service the Pflugerville area with quick response times to get your door safely back on track.

Do you service all garage door opener brands?

Yes, we do. We have the training and tools to service all major opener brands, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, and more. Our service vehicles carry a full line of factory parts for complete opener repairs. No matter what problem your garage door opener has, we'll get it up and running in a flash.

Repair or replace? How do I know if I need a new garage door?

A good rule of thumb is to seriously consider a new garage door if your door is over 15 years old, if you find that you are constantly making repairs, if the door has major structural damage, or if the cost of a repair will be at least half the cost of a new door. We'll inspect your door and make recommendations. You can trust us to be honest with you. If we think that your garage door can be repaired and it makes good financial sense to do so, we'll let you know. If we think it's better to replace the door, we'll tell you why. No high-pressure sales tactics here.

Do you offer garage door service for commercial clients in Austin?

Yes, our service covers both residential and commercial garage doors. We service commercial overhead door systems all over Austin. We understand that time is money when it comes to commercial service, so we are fast and efficient in our repairs so you can resume business with as little down time as possible.
