Professional Garage Door Lock Repair Services
Many sectional doors have a T-handle lock or a side slide lock. On doors with an opener, manual locks are often disabled because the opener itself resists the door being lifted. A stuck lock can trap a car inside, and a lock left engaged can damage the opener if it tries to lift a locked door.
Signs you may need this service
- The key will not turn or the handle is stuck
- The lock bar does not reach the track
- The lock engages but the door still lifts
- The handle is broken or loose
- The opener strains because a lock is engaged
- You want added security for a detached garage
