Garage Door Repair Experts Since 1997!
Dakota Door Sales has been in the garage door business since 1997, and we’ve been in the industry since 1983. That’s a long time working with garage doors! We’ve learned a lot about garage doors during this time, and we’re confident that we can help you with yours. Garage door repair is one of our specialties. We can get your garage door working smoothly again.
Garage doors are one of the most used items in your home. In fact, they’re typically used more often than your front door. And yet, people seldom consider that their garage doors need maintenance. Why is maintenance so important? There are two main reasons:
1) Catching Early Signs of Problems
Regular maintenance will catch any potential problems before they grow into bigger, more expensive problems. Our technicians will be able to find anything that could negatively affect your overhead door later on and fix it. This will save you a lot of headaches, such as getting stuck in your garage at a very inconvenient time. With regular maintenance, you shouldn’t have to deal with this kind of problem!
2) Keeping All Parts in Order
Maintenance keeps all the various parts of your garage door in working order. During a maintenance visit, our technicians will lubricate the parts, tighten the springs, and balance the garage door. Accidents are less likely to happen with all the various parts in their best shape.
So how often should you get this maintenance? We recommend getting your garage door serviced at least once a year, twice a year being even better. Your garage door will thank you! Contact us to schedule a garage door maintenance appointment.

Common Garage Repairs
Here at Dakota Door Sales, we see a lot of garage door repairs, but there are several we see the most. So if you have one of these problems, don’t worry!
Broken Garage Door Spring Repair
Garage door spring repair is the most common issue that we see. This is because the springs have a limited lifespan—about 10,000 cycles. Each cycle is one opening and closing of the garage door. For example, if you used your garage door once in the morning and once at night, every single day, then your springs would last for about 13 years. Since most people use their garage doors more than this, the springs don’t tend to last quite that long. When the springs do break, you’ll typically hear a loud snap followed by some of these issues:
- Your garage door opens at an angle.
- Your garage door won’t open or close all the way.
- Your garage door starts to open or close and then reverses.
- Your garage door makes a grinding noise when it’s operating.
- You notice gaps in the springs or loose coils hanging down.
If you notice any of these signs, then it’s time for garage door spring repair. We offer garage door spring repair in Central Tennessee and the surrounding areas. So if you’re having any issues, give us a call at (931) 635-3667, and we’ll head out to replace your springs.
