Garage Door Repair in Merrifield 703-828-1107

Fairfax County, Virginia features a unique combination of large cities and smaller communities. One of those smaller towns is Merrifield, which has a little over 10,000 people living within the city limits. The majority of people living in this town are families with small children. Since the town is so small, most residents work in one of the larger cities in Fairfax County or even commute to government jobs in Washington D.C.

Unless you installed your garage door yourself, you probably do not realize that the door has cables attached to the sides. These cables act the same way as the cables on old-fashioned windows do. You have one cable on either side of your garage door. The cable winds around a piece at the top of the door when you lift the door up. When you bring the door down, the cable unwinds from this piece. Any type of problem with the cable will keep the door from moving as quickly as it did before. In some cases, a broken cable will keep the door from working at all. Our Merrifield garage door company offers the following repair options:

• Tighten a loose cable
• Replacement of missing cables
• Adjustment of tightly wound cables
• Repair of a cable that came off the drum
• Repair of a broken cable
• Fix snapped cable

The cable wound around the drum at the top of the door involves the right equipment to fix, and you typically do not have that equipment on hand. It takes a steady hand and the proper training to adjust the cable to the right tension. If you wind the cable too tightly, you must use more pressure to pull the door down. Our Merrifield garage door service also includes:

• Replace garage door track
• Repair bent garage door track

The garage door track sits on either side of the door and holds the door in place. This track is what keeps the door from coming out towards you or pushing back inside the garage when you move it. The door slides along the track and lifts above your head. We at Merrifield garage door contractor can complete any repairs needed for a garage door, including window repairs. Virginia homeowners might need more than one repair done at a time, and we have you covered in those situations too. All Merrifield residents can get their garage doors fixed quickly when using our services.
