Garage Door Repair in Ajax

When a spring snaps at 7am and your car is locked inside, being genuinely local matters.

We have been fixing garage doors in Ajax for years — on Westney, on Harwood, out past Salem Road, and all through the older streets near Pickering Village. We know the housing stock here because we work on it every week.

Common garage door problems in Ajax homes

Ajax has two very different types of homes, and they break in two different ways.

Older homes near Pickering Village and Westney Heights

Many of these garages still have the original hardware from the 80s and 90s. What we see most: rusted bottom brackets, frayed cables, and single springs long past their life. A spring is rated for about 10,000 cycles — at four openings a day that is roughly seven years. A lot of Ajax doors are running on 20-year-old springs.

Newer builds off Audley and Taunton

Newer doors are heavier and better insulated, which is good — but they put more strain on the opener. On these homes we usually see burnt-out plastic gears inside the opener, and safety sensors knocked out of line by bikes, bins and hockey bags.

The lake wind

Ajax sits on Lake Ontario. Damp, salty air rusts the bottom of a door faster than most people expect, especially south of Bayly. If the bottom panel of your door has bubbling paint or soft spots, get it looked at before it gets worse.
