What’s included
Doors that cannot wait,and doors that can.
At night the drive is most of it: Newmarket is 30 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 Newmarket, 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
Bumper damage, a roller out or one side hanging low: it can fall. Stop using it now.
- 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
The door may not hold, so nobody stands under it. Leave it where it is. A fast drop points here 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.
We were presented with multiple options and given the pros and cons of each.

Garage door spring was broken. Moe was able to come out the next day and fit it.
Moe takes the time to get to know what your needs are and has affordable recommendations.
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.
… came on short notice to take a look. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had it fixed in no time.
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 price follows what failed, plus the door's weight, the spring size and whether cables or tracks were hurt too. In a Newmarket winter, a door iced to the slab or a frosted sensor lens is a different repair from a broken spring. You are quoted before work starts, and again if the diagnosis differs from the call.
The drive up from Richmond Hill is 30 minutes (29.1 km). Most jobs are done on the first visit because the common parts ride along on the van, and a spring swap on a single door takes roughly an hour. Two things stretch it: a part that is not on board, or damage the first look did not show.
No. An emergency repair replaces parts such as a spring, cable, roller or sensor and leaves the opening alone. A permit question in Newmarket comes up when an opening is new or larger, and a door that is only broken, not changed, is neither.
Fixed, in most cases, since the parts that fail most often are already on the van and one visit usually covers it. A part the van does not carry, or damage the first look did not show, means a second step, and the crew says so before any extra work begins. Two photos by text, one outside and one inside with the springs, tracks and opener in view, are what make the first visit the only one.
The phone is answered at any hour, weekends and statutory holidays included, because the shop is open 24/7. Describe the fault, and mention if a car or the house is affected. The van starts from Richmond Hill, 30 minutes and 29.1 km from Newmarket. Many night calls are failures that gave warning: loud rollers, frayed cables, springs nearing their rated cycles.

A roller fault is rough and noisy, with grinding or catching as the door travels. A cable fault shows as frayed strands, a slack cable or one side of the door hanging lower. Stop using the door either way and send an inside photo.

If nobody needs the garage, it can stay shut and unused until daylight. A car shut inside or a house that will not lock makes it urgent. The estimate is free, so describing the door costs nothing.

Usually yes, since a torn seal is not an emergency by itself. In a Newmarket winter, meltwater can freeze under it and hold the door to the slab by morning, so check that the door moves before pressing the button.

The guide
Emergency garage door repair in Newmarket: good to know.
What is different about 24/7 emergency repair in Newmarket: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Emergency garage door repair in Newmarket, what counts
Call at once for a door that is stuck open or off its track, a door stuck shut with a car inside, a broken spring or cable with the door part open, a door crooked or damaged by a vehicle, or a door dropping faster than it should. When a door fails, a car is usually shut in or the house cannot be locked, which is why the phone never goes unanswered.
Plenty can wait for daylight: a noisy door, a slow one, a torn seal, a few dents, or a remote that has stopped working while the wall switch still does. Those can wait for a scheduled visit, and the crew will say so if that is what the call turns out to be.
What to do first, and what to leave alone
Stuck open: pull the red release cord, lower the door by hand and lock the door into the house. Broken spring: the door's whole weight is now on the cables, so stop and leave it alone. Never hold the opener button against a door that resists, and do not loosen or wind a spring that is under tension. Once the opener has reversed the door twice, stop pressing the button.
Two photos by text let the crew bring the right parts: one outside, one inside with the springs, tracks and opener in view. That is how a repair becomes one visit instead of two, and the inside photo usually settles whether it is a roller, a cable or a bent length of track.
Cold mornings and night calls in Newmarket
Newmarket's winters are cold and somewhat snowy, and the night call is often a small fault that the weather made urgent. A hardened or torn bottom seal lets meltwater freeze the door to the slab, a frosted lens breaks the sensor beam, and lubricant gone sluggish can make a tired door look dead. The shop can often tell which from a description and a photo, so the first question is what the door is doing.
Not every cold-weather failure is small. A spring near the end of its rating is the likeliest to go on a freezing morning, and with 122.2 cm of snow in an average year, seals, tracks and openers weigh more here. If the door will not move, check for ice before pressing the button again, and stop once the opener has reversed the door twice.
