Garage door repair in Kanata

Garage doors in Kanata

In Kanata's older areas, such as Katimavik-Hazeldean and Glen Cairn, any garage door hardware that has never been replaced is well past the typical cycle life of a standard spring, and a first cold snap is often what finishes an old spring off.

In newer areas like Kanata Lakes and Morgan's Grant, double insulated doors with belt-drive or smart openers are common. On newer doors, opener, sensor and remote problems are often the first things to go wrong, well before the springs wear out.

Kanata’s oldest neighbourhood, Beaverbrook, dates to 1964, when developer Bill Teron began building a planned “garden city” on former March Township farmland. Kanata was its own city from 1978 until it joined Ottawa in 2001. That spread of ages matters for garage doors: homes in the original Beaverbrook streets are now around 60 years old and have usually had their doors replaced, while springs and openers on 1990s and 2000s homes may still be the originals — worth checking if yours are.

Common problems we get calls about

• Broken garage door spring — a loud bang from the garage, often on a cold morning
• Garage door opener repair — the opener hums or clicks but the door doesn't move
• Garage door off track or cable broken — the door is crooked or one side is lower than the other
• New garage door installation — repeated repairs on an old door
• Emergency garage door repair — your car is trapped inside
