🚨 Emergency Protocol: What to do while we drive
Do NOT attempt to force the door open. If a torsion spring has snapped, the door is effectively "dead weight" (300+ lbs) and can crush you.
Step 1: Clear the area of children and pets.
Step 2: Check if the "Emergency Release Cord" (Red Handle) is accessible, but do not pull it if the door is partially open or sagging.
Step 3: Wait for our technician. We are carrying commercial jacks to lift the door safely.
Is This an Emergency?
Car Trapped Inside
Verdict: EMERGENCY. You cannot leave for work or school. We prioritize these calls for 45-minute arrival.
Loud "Bang" Sound
Verdict: EMERGENCY. This usually indicates a snapped torsion spring. Do not operate the opener.
Door is Crooked
Verdict: EMERGENCY. Cables have likely jumped the drum. Operating it further will bend the tracks.

Saving a "Seized" Door in Naples Island
How we restored a corroded heavy wood door in zip code 90803 using coastal-grade hardware.
🛑 The Problem
A homeowner on The Toledo called us at 7:00 AM. Their custom wood door was jammed shut. Living 500 feet from the water, the marine layer had rusted the standard builder-grade springs, causing them to snap and lock the door in the tracks.
✅ The Coastal Solution
We dispatched a technician from our 7th St hub, arriving in 28 minutes. We replaced the rusted hardware with Galvanized Torsion Springs and stainless steel cables. We also installed sealed nylon rollers to prevent future salt-air seizing.

Long Beach Repair FAQs
Direct answers for homeowners in 90802, 90803, and 90807.
Why do garage door springs break faster in Long Beach?
In Long Beach, the high-salinity marine layer causes salt-air corrosion. Salt particles cling to metal springs and draw in moisture, accelerating oxidation. We recommend upgrading to galvanized, high-cycle springs to combat this coastal reality.
Do I need a battery backup opener in California?
Yes. Under California SB-969, all residential garage door openers installed after July 1, 2019, must include a battery backup. This ensures you can exit during power outages caused by wildfires or grid failures. We strictly install compliant LiftMaster units.
Can I replace a broken spring myself?
It is highly dangerous. Torsion springs are under extreme tension (Torque) sufficient to lift a 300lb door. If a winding bar slips, it can cause severe injury. Our technicians use professional winding tools and safety protocols to manage this force safely.
How fast can you reach Bixby Knolls or Naples?
We dispatch directly from our local hub near 7th St & Long Beach Blvd. By avoiding the main 405 freeway traffic, we average a 45-60 minute arrival time for emergency calls in zip codes 90807 and 90803.
