What’s included
Doors that cannot wait,and doors that can.
At night the drive is most of it: Aurora is 20 minutes from the van in Richmond Hill on the map's no-traffic figure, the common parts are on board, and nothing about an emergency repair needs a permit from the Town of Aurora, because it replaces parts of the door that is already there.
02Stuck shut
Stuck shut with a car inside
A door that cannot be lifted by hand once the opener is released has failed mechanically. Forcing it makes it worse.
- Broken springs or cables
- A door frozen to the floor
- Jammed rollers or track
- Opener or power faults
03Off track
Crooked, or off its track
Take it out of use now. A low side, a roller out or damaged bumper means it can fall.
- Stop using it at once
- Keep people clear of it
- Do not force it either way
- Photos, inside and out
04Springs
Broken spring, door part open
Stay out from under it, as it might not hold, and leave it as it is. A sudden drop fits this too.
- Nobody stands under it
- Do not move it
- No opener, no cord
- Tell us about a bang

I’m very happy with the work done on my front door and garage door. … Both doors look amazing …
Everyone else told me I’d be waiting anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months just to get a door delivered and installed.
My garage spring and cables snapped on a Sunday afternoon, Moe was able to swing by the next morning …
Great Service by Moe, very clean job, on time and no surprises.
It completely changed the look of my home and has already received so many compliments.
The work was done in 5 hours and they cleaned up after themselves leaving no trace of my old garage door and front door.
I called Moe he was here in the same hour and we got our new doors in two days
He didn’t just fix the immediate problem … made sure the door was running smoother and quieter than before.

Moe did an excellent job replacing our old, worn down garage door with a beautiful, heavy duty white one.
… he was here the next day and we had our garage doors and front doors done within one week.
The whole process was seamless and I couldn’t believe how fast the job was completed without any hiccups.

They were super on time, super efficient, and the price was dead on.

Planning a new door5 questions
There is no honest single number, and anyone who gives you one over the phone is guessing. The price depends on the size of the opening, single or double, the material and insulation, the windows and hardware, and whether the existing tracks, springs and opener can stay. Modern Empire Doors gives you a real number quickly instead: text a photo of the door from outside and one from inside the garage to (647) 323-1826. The inside shot shows the tracks, springs and opener, which is where most of the difference in price lives. Estimates are free.
Two photos and your address. Take one of the door from outside, and one from inside the garage with the door closed, so we can see the tracks, the springs above the opening and the opener. Text both to (647) 323-1826. For most doors that is enough to price the job without anyone coming out first, and the estimate is free.
Most standard replacements are done in a single visit. The old door comes down, the new one goes up on its tracks and springs, and it is balanced and tested before we leave. Doors with more complicated framing, a change of size, or a new opener at the same time take longer. We tell you what to expect for your door when we quote it, not after we arrive, so you can plan the day around it.
Not always. Whether the opener can stay is part of the quote. The springs are sized to the new door, so a working opener is not asked to lift more weight; what matters is its age and condition. An opener from before about 1993 may use a fixed code that cheap equipment can copy, and a new door is a good moment to change it. A loud chain drive under a bedroom is the other reason people switch, usually to a quieter belt drive. We tell you which applies before you decide.
Our replacement doors are made in Canada and carry a lifetime warranty. Built for Canadian winters is not a slogan here: a door that seals properly in February is a different product from one that does not, and the difference shows up as cold air, noise and a bottom seal frozen to the floor. If you want the details for a particular door, ask when we quote it and we will go through them with you.
A door that won't work5 questions
The failed part decides it, along with the spring's size, the door's weight and any damage to cables or tracks. The figure is stated before work starts, and stated again if what we find differs from your pictures.
Usually one visit, because the truck carries the parts that fail most often. It takes longer if a part is not on board or the damage runs deeper than the first look. From the shop, the road up Yonge Street to Aurora takes 20 minutes.
Not normally, because parts are swapped and the opening stays as it was. A vehicle strike that damaged the opening itself, forcing a rebuild wider or taller, would be the exception.
A noisy door, a worn seal, dents, a slow door, or a remote that dies while the wall button still works. If the door is shut and secure, none of these needs a night call, and we will say so on the phone. A door that will not close, a broken spring or a door off its track should not wait.
Free the ice first, and never with a flame or a metal blade, which can scar the seal or the door. Once it is loose, run the door by hand before the opener, so a bound door does not strain the motor. If it still will not move, call. A worn seal that lets water under the door is usually how it freezes.

Frost or condensation on a lens breaks the beam, and so do sunlight, a knocked bracket and dirt. Wipe both lenses and check that both lights are steady. If they are, the force setting or a binding door is next.

Pull the red cord, then lower the door by hand, slowly. If a spring has broken, leave it alone, because its full weight would be yours.

Most often a torsion spring has given way, sometimes with a gap showing in the coil. Stop using the door and the opener, lock the door between garage and house, and call.

The guide
Emergency garage door repair in Aurora: good to know.
What is different about 24/7 emergency repair in Aurora: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Emergency garage door repair in Aurora: what a night call involves
Some calls cannot wait. The door will not close, or will not open with a car inside. A spring or cable has broken with the door half up. The door hangs crooked off its track, a vehicle has hit it, or it is dropping faster than it should. A snapped spring gets urgent treatment because it so often traps a car or leaves the house unlocked.
The phone is answered at all hours, holidays included. Most after-hours calls come from failures that gave warning, such as springs near the end of their openings, cables fraying in plain sight or rollers growing louder.
From the shop to Aurora: what is on the truck
Aurora is 20 minutes up Yonge Street from our shop in Richmond Hill, 12.7 km. The drive is the only timing we state. The truck carries the parts that fail most, which is why most emergency repairs end in one visit.
What goes on it depends on your two pictures: one of the door from outside, one from inside showing the springs and tracks. Add the address, and say whether a car is inside.
