FAQs
How long does emergency garage door repair take?
Most emergency garage door repairs take about 1–2 hours once the overhead door technician arrives, depending on the issue. Smaller fixes can sometimes be completed faster, while spring or cable replacements may take longer. Vitas Garage Doors technicians arrive at your home within three hours so you can have a working door before the day is out.
How much does emergency garage door repair cost in Toronto?
Emergency garage door repair typically costs between $150 and $600 on average, though the actual price depends on the problem. Our garage door repair company provides transparent, upfront pricing before work begins, with no hidden fees added at the door.
How do I open my garage door from the outside if the power is out?
Most garage doors have a keyed emergency release on the exterior panel: a small lock cylinder near the top center of the door. Insert the key and pull the release cable, and the door can be lifted manually.
If your door doesn’t have one installed, Vitas offers integrated locksmith services and can gain safe access without damaging the door and then install a release kit the same visit.
Do you offer emergency garage door repair on weekends and holidays?
Yes, Vitas Garage Door offers emergency repairs on weekends and holidays. We have technicians on call 24/7 for true emergencies like a stuck door trapping your car, so you never have to put off dealing with garage problems until another day.
What should I do while waiting for a technician to arrive?
Don’t try to force the door open or closed, especially if a spring or cable has failed, as this can cause further damage or injury. If the door is stuck open, secure the area and avoid leaving valuables in plain sight. Our technician will be with you in under 3 hours to fix your garage door.
Is there an extra charge for emergency or after-hours garage door repair?
No, regardless of the time of day or day of the week, you will always pay the rate we quote over the phone at Vitas Garage Doors. No emergency surcharges or after-hours fees are applied at the door.
Do you offer garage door maintenance, or just emergency repairs?
We offer both! While we’re best known for fast emergency repairs, we also offer garage door maintenance visits to catch problems early, including lubrication, spring checks, and hardware tightening, so you’re less likely to need us in a hurry.
