How to Know When It’s Time to Call a Garage Door Pro

April 13, 20252 min read

Not sure if that strange sound or slow-moving door is a serious issue? You’re not alone. Many Indiana homeowners wait until their garage door completely breaks before calling for help—but that can lead to bigger (and more expensive) problems.

At A&N Garage Door Services, we believe it’s better to fix small issues before they turn into major headaches. Here’s how to know when it’s time to call a garage door professional.

🚪 1. Your Garage Door is Making Unusual Noises

Squeaks, rattles, grinding, or loud bangs? These sounds are your door’s way of telling you something’s wrong—like loose hardware, worn rollers, or lack of lubrication.

📍 Our solution: We provide a lube and tune-up that includes full inspection, tightening, and lubrication to quiet things down and prevent further damage.

🌀 2. It Won’t Open or Close Smoothly

If your door gets stuck halfway or jerks when moving, the issue might be:

• A misaligned track

• A failing spring

• Worn-out cables

• Opener issues

📍 Call us right away—we’ll get your door moving safely and smoothly again.

🧰 3. The Door is Off Track or Uneven

An uneven door is more than an eyesore—it can cause strain on the system and damage your opener or springs.

📍 Don’t DIY this. Our pros will realign and balance the door properly to prevent further wear and tear.

⚠️ 4. Broken Springs or Cables

This is a garage door emergency. A broken spring can cause your door to slam shut or stop working entirely—and it’s dangerous to try to fix it yourself.

📍 We replace springs safely and efficiently, using the right size and tension for your specific door.

🏢 5. You Own or Manage a Business

For commercial properties, a malfunctioning garage door can delay deliveries, frustrate staff, or pose safety risks. Don’t let it cost you time or money.

📍 A&N Garage Door Services handles commercial garage door repair, maintenance, and installation—fast.
