Broken springs, snapped cables, worn rollers, doors off their tracks and opener faults, fixed in St. Thomas by the same technicians, van and four-year warranty we use on every call in London.
St. Thomas
St. Thomas is a call we make regularly, not an occasional detour.
St. Thomas grew up around the railway, and it still shows: the CASO Station on Chestnut Street, built between 1871 and 1873, is one of Canada’s most striking historic railway buildings, and the Jumbo the Elephant statue at the west end of town marks the spot where the famous circus elephant died in 1885. Both sit in older parts of the city where plenty of garage doors and openers are original to homes built decades ago.
The Courthouse Neighbourhood and The Spires are two of the city’s oldest and most character-filled areas, and Pinafore Park has been the city’s main public green space for more than a century. Whether your door is on a century home near the courthouse or a newer build on the edge of town, the fix and the price work the same way.
What Goes Wrong
Almost every garage door call in St. Thomas comes down to one of these five. Each one has its own page with the symptoms, the fix and the price, so you can work out what you are looking at before anyone comes near your driveway.
You heard a bang like a gunshot from the garage, and now the door weighs what it really weighs. The opener strains and gives up, or the door lifts a foot and drops back.
Garage door spring repair ↗One side of the door sits lower than the other, or a steel cable is hanging loose beside the track. The door is out of square and should not be run.
Garage door cable repair ↗The door announces itself through the house. Nylon wheels have worn flat, or steel rollers have seized and are dragging along the track instead of rolling.
Garage door roller replacement ↗The door is jammed at an angle, resting on a bent track or on the car. This is the one repair where using the opener again makes it worse.
Garage door off track repair ↗Usually one worn part rather than a dead machine: a capacitor, a drive gear, a pair of safety sensors or a logic board.
Garage door opener repair ↗How It Works
No call centre, no upsell script, and no work started before you have heard the number.

We are rated 4.9 out of 5 from more than 405 reviews from across the London area on Google. Read them for yourself on our testimonials page.
Service Area
We cover London and the surrounding area: St. Thomas, Strathroy, Dorchester, Komoka, Ilderton, Lucan, Belmont and Thorndale. The prices on this page are for the London area, which includes St. Thomas; somewhere further out can carry a small travel charge, and we tell you that when you book.
Questions
Every visit to St. Thomas is dispatched from our base in London. We do not subcontract the work out locally: the same technician, van and parts stock that covers London covers St. Thomas.
No. St. Thomas is one of the towns inside our standard London-area service territory, so the prices on this page apply here the same as they do in London. A small travel charge only comes up somewhere further out than that, and we would tell you before booking, not after.
Often, yes. Older St. Thomas homes tend to have narrower or shorter openings and hardware styles that have since changed, so we measure on site rather than guessing from a size chart, and we will tell you honestly if a part needs to be special-ordered before we start.
Tell us what your garage door is doing and we will tell you what it is likely to be, what it costs, and when we can be in St. Thomas.
