Call and describe it
Describe what the door did, what you heard and where it stopped. A bang, an impact or a power cut all point the inspection in a different direction.

From First Call to Finished Repair
Confirm the address and a time
Give the full property address, any gate or alley access, and whether a vehicle is shut in. Leave a damaged door where it is.
Ask for the fault and quote
An independent provider inspects the door, springs, cables and opener together, then explains what failed and what the repair involves before any work starts.
Check the door before sign-off
The door is run through a full cycle, balance is tested by hand and the opener's reverse and sensor functions are checked with you there.
Before the Provider Arrives
Keep clear of a door that is open, leaning or resting on something. Do not pull the emergency release on a raised door, and do not try to test the weight by lifting it — if a spring has broken, the door's full weight is unsupported and it can come down fast.
What does help is information. Note whether the door is open, closed or stuck partway, what you heard when it failed, whether the opener light or motor still responds, and whether a vehicle is shut inside. If you can safely read the make and model from the opener housing or the inside of the door, that speeds up the parts check considerably.
Read the repairs explained, check your community on the service areas page, browse the common questions, or weigh a bigger job with the repair versus replacement guide. When you are ready, call about an inspection.
What a Written Quote Should Cover
A quote is more useful when it names things. It should identify the part that failed, the replacement being fitted, any related work found during the inspection and whether anything has to be ordered. If a second component is worn but not urgent, that belongs in the conversation as an option rather than as a line you discover afterwards.
It should also be clear about what is being tested at the end: door balance by hand, a full travel cycle, and the opener's reversing and sensor response. Those checks are the difference between a part being swapped and a door being repaired.
