Garage Door Services in Eagan
The six jobs Eagan calls about most, with prices set by the door itself. The all garage door services covers panels, seals, locks, windows and commercial doors.
Spring Repair and Replacement
Torsion springs matched to the door, and extension springs on the oldest doors replaced as a pair with safety cables or converted to torsion.
Opener Repair and Installation
Stripped gears, dead boards and photo-eye faults on 1990s Genie, Craftsman, Chamberlain and LiftMaster units. Belt-drive replacements with battery backup.
Cable Repair and Replacement
Lift cables rusted by 30 winters of road salt fray at the bottom bracket and drop one side of the door. New cables, drums reset, door leveled.
General Garage Door Repair
Worn rollers, cracked hinges, a door that shakes, binds or stops halfway. Diagnosed on site and priced as one written number.
Tune-Up and Fall Winterization
Spring balance, cable and bracket inspection, cold-rated lubricant, photo-eye alignment and force settings before the first hard freeze.
New Garage Door Installation
Insulated steel replacements for original 1980s doors that have had their last repair, in 16x7 and 9x7 sizes. Financing available on new doors.
Why Eagan Garage Doors Are on Their Third or Fourth Set of Springs
Eagan filled in fast between the late 1970s and the late 1990s: split-levels and two-stories off Pilot Knob Road, Lexington Avenue and Diffley Road, an attached two-car garage on nearly every one, and three-car garages arriving in the 1990s. Those doors are 25 to 45 years old, and their hardware fails on a schedule.
A standard torsion spring is rated around 10,000 cycles. At four openings a day that is about seven years, so a 1988 Eagan door has been through several sets of springs. The oldest doors near Cedar Grove and along Highway 13 often still have extension springs, and many went in without safety cables; when one of those breaks it can whip across the garage. We replace extension springs as a matched pair with safety cables, or convert to torsion where the header has room. Torsion vs extension springs shows which you have. Spring replacement is $143 to $333 for each spring, written down first.
Openers from the 1980s and 90s: repair, or replace with a belt drive?
The other half of the Eagan cycle is the opener. A Genie screw drive or a Craftsman chain drive from 1995 will often run 25 years, and then the gear strips or the logic board fails. A gear kit or board is $100 to $250 and worth doing on a unit under about 15 years old. Past that, or on any opener without photo-eye sensors, a new belt drive with battery backup at $315 to $452 installed is the better money. Opener not working shows how to tell a stripped gear from a dead board.
What an Eagan winter does to a 30-year-old door
Freezing weather turns spring steel brittle, so a spring near the end of its cycles snaps on the first sub-zero morning. Lift cables rusted by decades of road salt fray at the bottom bracket and let one side of the door drop. The bottom seal freezes to the slab and the opener tears it or reverses, old grease thickens until the motor strains, and an uninsulated 1985 door leaks heat into the garage under the bedrooms. Sloped driveways around Lebanon Hills and Thomas Lake pack ice against the door. Garage door spring broke: what to do covers the next ten minutes.
Leave the door down. Without its spring it weighs 150 to 300 pounds and the opener cannot lift it safely. Call (651) 888-8270 and the emergency repair service gets the first open slot of the day.
