Springs and cables are not DIY — stop the opener and keep people clear until the door is made safe.
Repair vs replace a garage door
Repair first when panels are sound and the failure is springs, rollers, track, cables, seals, or the opener — common on Yonge Street condos and Oak Ridges three-car garages. Replacement is the honest path when panels are crushed, rusted through, or the door stays out of square. We lay out both options after inspection; you stay in control.

| Factor | Repair | Replace |
|---|---|---|
| Best when | Panels sound; springs, rollers, track, cables, seals, or opener failed | Crushed, rusted-through, or chronically out-of-square panels |
| Typical outcome | Door balanced and safe on the same visit when parts are stocked | New door cycle — measure, order, install on a scheduled visit |
