Automatic Garage Door Repair in Denver
An automatic garage door is a door and an opener working together, so when it stops, the fault can be in either one. G Brothers checks both. That way you do not buy a new opener when the real problem is a broken spring, or chase the door when the opener is the one that failed.

Automatic door repair covers the door and the opener. For the door alone see garage door repair.
What this service covers
Real work by background-checked local technicians, quoted at a flat rate you approve before anything begins.
Door balance and springs
A door that is too heavy makes a good opener look broken, so we check balance first.
Opener diagnosis
Motor, drive, travel and force settings, and the wall control.
Safety sensors and auto-reverse
Both are tested, because an automatic door must reverse when something is in the way.
Remotes and keypads
Reprogrammed or replaced when they are the weak link.
Cables, rollers and tracks
The hardware the opener pulls the door along.
A flat quote
Once we know which part failed, you approve one price before work starts.
Situations we fix every week
- Automatic garage door ignores the wall button?If the remote works and the wall button does not, the problem is the button, its wire or a lock setting. If neither works, look at power, sensors and the opener itself.How we fix it
- Automatic garage door slow to open or close?A slow door usually has more friction or less balance than before. Cold weather, dry parts, worn rollers or weak springs are common, and the opener is often just the messenger.How we fix it
How to tell if it is the door or the opener
The opener runs but the door does not move, or lifts crooked: usually the door side, such as a spring or cable
The opener hums, clicks or strains: the door may be heavy, or the opener may be failing
The door starts down, then reverses: usually the safety sensors or the close settings
Nothing happens and the motor light is off: power, the wall control or the remote
It works from the wall button but not the remote: the remote or its battery
