My torsion spring broke this weekend and I needed it replaced. Eddy came by and fixed it Monday afternoon. He was able to replace it within an hour for a reasonable price and even lubricated the door after.

Eddie was very responsive and diagnosed our garage door problem quickly. Parts were readily available to repair and had our issue fixed within the hour. We could have waited until tomorrow but Eddie fixed it and saved us time and money.

I had an absolute 5-star experience with Eddie at Sentinel! When our garage door went out during a busy weekend with family visiting, he was able to come out much faster than any other company in town. On top of offering competitive pricing, he replaced the motor and got everything fully working the exact same day.

Eddie is a great garage door repair man. He was fast, efficient and very kind to my hyperactive big dog.

A garage door cable that comes off the drum does not always mean the cable itself is broken. Sometimes the real problem is somewhere else
Why Won’t My Garage Door Stay Open? A garage door that refuses to stay open is almost always dealing with a spring tension or balance
Garage Door too Heavy to Lift? If your garage door suddenly feels much heavier than it used to, the spring system is almost always involved.
Garage doors are used several times a day in many homes, so normal wear eventually starts to show. Here are some of the garage door problems we see most often in San Antonio homes:
