Overview
A garage door that fails at the wrong time is more than an annoyance. It can leave your house open overnight, trap your car when you need to get to work, or drop a heavy door onto the track and bend it. When that happens, the first move is simple: call Thom and do not force the door.
Thom covers emergency garage door repairs right across the Sunshine Coast, from Maroochydore and Mooloolaba through Buderim and the Kawana suburbs. He carries the common springs, cables, rollers and opener parts on the van, so most emergencies are made safe and working in a single visit rather than left taped up for a week.
If it is the middle of the night, call anyway. He will tell you whether it is safe to leave until morning or whether he should come straight out, and what the callout will cost before he does.
01 / Service
Door stuck open or will not close
A door that will not close is a security problem, so it gets priority. The usual causes are a broken spring, a snapped cable, a blocked safety sensor, or the door off its track. Thom will find the cause, make the door safe, and either fix it on the spot or secure your garage until the part arrives. Either way you are not left with the house open to the street.
02 / Service
Broken spring emergencies
A snapped spring is the most common after-hours call. The door suddenly feels impossibly heavy, will not lift, or drops fast when you try. Springs are high-tension and dangerous, so leave the door where it is and call. Thom carries common torsion and extension springs, so most break downs are sorted the same visit.
03 / Service
Car trapped in the garage
If your car is shut in and the door will not open, do not pull on the door or yank the emergency cord under load, as that can make it worse. Call Thom and he will walk you through releasing the opener safely if it is safe to do so, then get to you to free the car and repair the fault.
04 / Service
Door off its tracks or hanging
A door that has jumped its track or is hanging at an angle is heavy and unstable, and it can come down hard. Keep people and cars clear of it and call. Thom will take the load off safely, get the door back on its track, and check the rollers, cables and brackets that let it happen so it does not repeat.

Questions
Garage door questions, answered
Yes. Thom takes emergency garage door callouts around the clock across the Sunshine Coast. Standard work runs 6am to 6pm, seven days, and genuine emergencies are covered overnight and on weekends. Call 0402 882 653, tell him what has happened, and he will let you know how soon he can be there.
Anything that leaves your home open or your car stuck. A door jammed open overnight, a snapped spring that will not let the door lift, a door hanging off its track, or a car shut inside when you need to leave. If the door is a security risk or you cannot get in or out, treat it as an emergency and call.
Call Thom first and he will talk you through it. Do not keep hitting the opener, as that can cause more damage. If you can, stay with the house until it is secured. Most stuck-open doors are a broken spring, a snapped cable, or the door off its track, and Thom carries the common parts to get it shut the same visit.
No. Garage door springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury if they let go while you are working on them. This is the one to leave alone, even in a hurry. Keep clear of the door, call Thom, and he will bring the right spring and the proper winding bars to do it safely.
Quotes on a new door are free. Emergency and after-hours work is booked as a service callout, valued between $200 and $300 depending on the door, the parts, and the time involved. Thom will give you the basis before he comes out, so you are not guessing about the cost while you are already stressed.
