The springs do the lifting, not the opener. A double door weighs 150 to 400 pounds and the torsion spring above the header counterbalances almost all of it. When a spring breaks in Black, the opener suddenly has to lift the full weight, which it cannot, so the door either will not move or moves a few inches and stops.
You can usually confirm it yourself from a safe distance: look for a visible gap in the coil above the door, a loud bang shortly before it failed, or a door that feels impossibly heavy on the manual release. Do not try to lift it and do not keep pressing the opener button.
We replace torsion and extension springs in matched pairs and size them to the door weight and cycle life you actually need. High-cycle springs cost a little more and last roughly twice as long, which is worth it on a door used four or more times a day.
Call (877) 230-8949 and describe what the door is doing. Most Black jobs of this type are quoted accurately over the phone and finished on the first visit.

Pricing in Black is flat and agreed on the phone or in the driveway. You get the number before we open a toolbox, and it does not change unless we find something and you approve it.
Describe the noise or the symptom. Most doors can be narrowed down to a spring, cable, opener or track problem over the phone.
You get a flat number for the repair, including parts and labour, before a tool comes out of the truck.
Springs, cables, rollers, sensors and common opener parts are on the van, so most jobs finish the same trip.
We cycle the door, set the opener force and travel, test the safety reverse and clean up before leaving.
★★★★★Second opinion after another company told me the whole system needed replacing. It needed one spring.
Trent W.Black, AL · Spring repair
★★★★★Door had been screeching for a year. Turned out to be rollers and a dry torsion bar. Quiet now and it cost far less than I had talked myself into.
Yvonne T.Black, AL · Tune-up and rollers
★★★★★We run three bays at the shop and one door would not lift. They came out after hours so we did not lose a morning of work.

Openers that hum, reverse, click once, or ignore the remote entirely.
Snapped cables, doors hanging off the track, drums that unwound.
A door stuck open at midnight is a security problem. We answer 24/7.
Trucks run out of the Black area daily and cover the surrounding AL towns. If you are just outside the map, call (877) 230-8949 and we will tell you honestly whether we can get to you today.
After-hours calls carry a call-out premium, and we tell you the exact number on the phone before we get in the truck. Nothing is added later.
A standard single or double door swap is usually a one-day job: old door and hardware out, new track, springs and sections in, opener reconnected, then balance and safety testing.
Yes, and please stop using the opener until we do. Running a door that has jumped the track bends sections and can burn out the opener. Re-tracking is usually a same-day repair.
We do a 21-point tune-up: balance test, spring cycle check, roller and hinge inspection, track alignment, lubrication, sensor alignment and force adjustment. It is the cheapest way to avoid a call-out.
Most Black calls booked before mid-afternoon get a same-day slot, and anything urgent, a door stuck open or a car trapped inside, moves to the front of the list. The phone line is answered 24 hours.
Tell us what the door is doing and we will tell you what it costs. Same-day slots most days, emergency calls answered 24 hours.
