Garage Door Opener Repair
Sometimes garage door openers stop working correctly, but often they can be repaired. Replacing a motor with a new one is usually much more expensive than fixing the existing one. That’s why repairing is often the smarter choice. Our fully stocked trucks carry parts for most garage door openers and doors, so repairs can often be done on the spot.
Schaefer Door Company is here to help. Our professional technicians can diagnose and fix nearly all types of garage door and opener issues.
While we specialize in repairs, we also offer full replacements when needed. Most parts for repairs are available right on our trucks. We can repair motors that meet UL325 safety standards—even if they’re older models.
To make your life easier, garage door opener technology continues to evolve.
Modern openers are more efficient, with fewer moving parts and often controlled by a single motherboard. Understanding how garage doors and openers work together is essential to properly diagnose and solve problems.
Broken Garage Door Spring Repair
Garage door springs can wear out over time due to temperature changes and lack of proper maintenance. If your springs start making clicking noises or stop functioning, it’s time for a replacement. Attempting spring replacement without the right training and tools is extremely dangerous. Schaefer Door Company’s skilled and experienced technicians handle this task safely, efficiently, and effectively.
Garage door springs endure a lot of stress through years of use. Over time, you may notice weakening springs or even complete breakage, which can prevent your garage door from operating properly.
The first step is identifying the type of spring system you have. Garage doors typically use either Extension Springs or Torsion Springs, both of which can be repaired or replaced.
Torsion springs control the tension on the door’s metal shaft, while extension springs assist in lifting the door. It’s important to choose a garage door service company that understands these systems. Schaefer Door Company’s professionally trained technicians are experienced in working with both torsion and extension spring setups.

Garage Door Sensors Repair & Alignment
Garage doors won’t operate properly without sensors. These sensors work together with the garage door opener to ensure safe and smooth function. Problems can arise with one or both sensors.
Almost all garage doors come equipped with these safety sensors, which are typically installed about six inches above the ground. They prevent the door from closing on people or pets. To test if your sensors are working, place an object—like a roll of paper towels—in the sensor’s path. If the door doesn’t stop or reverse before hitting the object, it’s time to schedule a service appointment with Schaefer Door Company.
Sometimes, garage door sensors can become misaligned, causing the door to stop closing even when nothing is blocking its path. Electrical issues may also cause the door to become unresponsive or shut down unexpectedly during operation. What might start as a minor problem can quickly turn into a serious safety hazard. For this reason, it’s important to have an expert inspect your system right away.
Our technicians are trained to thoroughly inspect garage door sensors, infrared beams, and other related components. We check the sensor wiring for any faults and can repair or replace sensors as needed. Once your garage door is properly serviced, it will operate smoothly and safely. Our diagnostic process helps identify the root cause of sensor problems.
Photoelectric lenses, common in most garage doors, can be damaged by rough handling or exposure to moisture. Even small objects or debris can interfere with sensor function. Additionally, damaged or frayed wiring can lead to electrical issues affecting your door’s operation.
Replacement Garage Door Parts
We offer high-quality parts to repair your garage door, and we also sell replacement components. While parts are available at many hardware stores, we recommend professional-grade products to ensure the best fit and performance. Schaefer Door Company provides durable, affordable garage door repair parts you can rely on.
Garage Door Track Replacement
Garage door tracks can become bent or misaligned, preventing your garage door from opening or closing properly. Schaefer Door Company’s skilled professionals are equipped to quickly and expertly repair your garage door tracks.
All overhead garage doors rely on metal tracks to guide them smoothly between open and closed positions. These tracks hold the door rollers and are designed to be sturdy, but they can still bend or get damaged over time.
Replacing garage door tracks can be time-consuming. It often involves removing one side of the door and carefully securing the new track to cover rollers, hinges, and other components. In some cases, removing the entire door to install new tracks is the best solution.
- Most garage doors can be fixed by our team.
- We are able to assess the damage and make repairs.
- The professional repair of your garage doors tracks will keep it safe and secure.
- Schaefer Door Company has an emergency service that can repair damaged garage doors.
Installing garage door tracks requires precision and experience. Hiring a professional ensures the tracks are properly aligned and the repair is done efficiently and safely.
Garage Door Tracks Need to Be Repaired When?
Metal garage door tracks are vulnerable to corrosion over time. While galvanized steel tracks resist rust better than standard metal ones, corrosion can still occur eventually. Chemicals, friction, and road salts slowly wear down the tracks, causing them to lose their smooth operation. Rusty tracks not only hinder movement but can also make repairs more difficult.
Seasonal weather changes increase the likelihood of garage doors running on corroded tracks. If a track becomes severely damaged or breaks, it could cause the garage door to fall, posing a serious risk to vehicles and people. For safety, any rusty garage door tracks should be replaced promptly.
Garage Door Roller Replacement
Rollers are often the garage door’s weakest link. Schaefer Door Company offers professional garage door repair services in Ellisville to replace or fix broken rollers.
Frequent use can cause rollers to wear out or break, and damage can also occur during installation of a new door. Although these rollers are designed to last several years, they can fail sooner than expected. Broken rollers may cause your garage door to come off its tracks. Moving doors with damaged rollers or pins can create dangerous situations. That’s why it’s important to inspect your garage door rollers and pins monthly and replace them promptly when needed.
Each garage door panel is connected to the tracks by rollers and pins, enabling smooth opening and closing. A damaged or broken pin can worsen, especially if the door is often left open. This can place extra strain on the opener and other door components, leading to further damage. Improperly supported panels or doors can cause added wear on pins and rollers.
Our professional technicians will carefully inspect your garage door’s rollers and pins. They will recommend whether immediate replacement is necessary or if it’s safe to wait. Our experts will also explain the reasons behind the damage so you can make an informed decision. It’s important for homeowners to ask questions before approving any repairs.
Schaefer Door Company’s pros install garage doors quickly and with expert care. Noisy, squeaky, or damaged doors are often caused by misaligned rollers. Thanks to our fully stocked trucks, most repairs can be completed efficiently on-site.
