What’s included
Doors that cannot wait,and doors that can.
At night the drive is most of it: Toronto is 40 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 City of Toronto, because it replaces parts of the door that is already there.
02Stuck shut
Stuck shut with a car inside
With the opener released, a door that will not rise by hand has a mechanical fault. More force 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

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 70 reviews on Google (opens Google Maps)After years of dents and damage from hockey pucks, our new garage door looks amazing!!
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.
… replacing my destroyed garage door for a beautiful modern style door.
Replaced my front door and garage door with a remote. … the finished work looks amazing.
I had a quote within a day … and the new door installed by that weekend.
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.

Every section of the old door was dented, and the middle had torn open. We hung a flush steel door in the same opening, charcoal to sit with the dark siding, under the same basketball hoop.

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
Before any tool comes out you are told the price, and told again if the diagnosis shifts. The failed part, the spring size, the weight of the door and any harm to cables or tracks all push it. A noisy door or a torn seal can wait for a daytime booking instead of a night call.
The usual outcome is one visit. The exceptions are a part the van does not hold and damage that goes past the first diagnosis. From the shop it is about 40 minutes to the centre of Toronto, and photos texted ahead tell us what to load.
An urgent repair swaps parts and leaves the opening as it is. If a vehicle has damaged the framing around the opening, the structural side is a separate job from the repair, and the City of Toronto decides whether it needs a permit. Rotted framing, an undersized header and bent tracks all turn a job into something more than a straight swap.
Reach for the red emergency cord, the release that frees the door from the opener, and lower the door by hand with care. With broken springs the entire weight drops at once, so if the door resists, stop and leave it. Lock the interior door that leads from the garage into the house, then call. Someone answers at all hours.
Many things can wait. A noisy door, a remote that quits while the wall button still works, a torn seal, a cosmetic dent or a slow door are all fine until morning. These are not: a door stuck open, a door shut with a car inside, a broken spring or cable with the door part open, a door crooked or off its track, damage from a vehicle, and a door that is coming down faster than it should.

The sensors are the first suspect. Frost or condensation on either lens breaks the beam, so wipe both and see that both lights burn steady. If the door still refuses to close, call, and keep the door into the house locked.

Pull the red emergency cord, which frees the door from the opener so it moves by hand. Do not hold the opener button against a door that resists. When the cause is cold and the door is frozen to the ground, break the ice bond first, and keep open flame and metal blades away from the seal.
Asked next
One loud bang from the garage, usually a torsion spring, often with a visible gap in the coil afterwards. Stop using the door, since the opener would drag its full weight.

The guide
Emergency garage door repair in Toronto: good to know.
What is different about 24/7 emergency repair in Toronto: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Emergency garage door repair in Toronto: what a night visit covers
The night calls are a short list: a door that will not close, a door that will not open with a car inside, a spring or cable gone on a half-open door, a door crooked or off its track, damage from a vehicle. Many give warning first, through springs worn to their cycle count, cables fraying in plain sight and rollers growing loud, and a cold snap often finishes the job.
A spring that breaks can leave a car locked in or a house that will not lock, so it is treated as urgent. The van carries the parts that fail most, and that is why the repair is normally finished on the visit and not the next day.
Calling about an emergency garage door repair in Toronto
Send two photos if you can, one of the door from outside and one from inside that takes in the springs, tracks and opener. The van then loads the right parts, and the job takes one visit rather than two. The phone is answered round the clock, weekends and holidays included.
The shop in Richmond Hill is 40.9 km from the centre of Toronto by road. Winter adds calls: lubricant thickens, steel contracts, and springs that fail on a cold morning were near the end of their cycle life.
