What’s included
Doors that cannot wait,and doors that can.
At night the drive is most of it: Vaughan is 25 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 Vaughan, because it replaces parts of the door that is already there.
02Stuck shut
Stuck shut with a car inside
If the door will not lift by hand with the opener released, something mechanical has failed, and force makes it worse.

- A door frozen to the floor
- Jammed rollers or track

Crooked, or off its track
One side lower, a roller out, or bumper damage. It can fall, so stop using it at once.

- Do not force it either way
- Photos, inside and out
04Springs
Broken spring, door part open
A door that dropped fast points here too. Nobody goes under it, as it may not hold. It stays put.

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.

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
Concord's overhead doors are often on industrial units, which is a different job from a house door, so say which you have. After that, the broken part sets the price: spring size, door weight, cable or track damage. The figure comes before the work, and again if the diagnosis shifts. Things that can wait for daylight: a torn seal, a noisy door, a slow door, a cosmetic dent.
Mostly one visit, because the usual failures are covered by stock on the van. It runs longer when the part is not aboard, or when the damage turns out bigger than it first looked, as with a drum, bracket or track. A broken spring counts as urgent, since a car may be locked in or the house cannot be secured.
An urgent repair puts back parts the door already had, in the opening it already has, so there is no permit to chase. A job would become permit work only by changing the opening, and the City of Vaughan handles that.
Yes. Once the fault is fixed, the crew can go over the rest of the door: balance, cables, rollers, sensors and seals. It is worth asking for when the part that failed was old, since the parts next to it have done the same number of trips. You agree the price for that before it starts.
The Richmond Hill shop is about 25 minutes (18.9 km) from Vaughan, and the phone is answered every hour of every day, holidays included. The parts that fail most often ride on the van, which is why a night call so often ends in one visit.

It can be, because a door that opens by itself leaves the garage open. Check the wall button and the remotes first: a stuck button or a remote pressed in a bag will do it. If it keeps happening, the opener needs a visit.
Asked next
No. A door stopped partway may be held only by the opener or by friction, and with a broken spring it can drop. Stay clear, keep the car out of its path and do not run the opener again.
Asked next
A dent alone can wait: if the door opens, closes and reverses as it should, book an ordinary visit. A crease that catches the rollers, or a section pulling away from its hinge, can jam the door, and that is worth a call at any hour.

The guide
Emergency garage door repair in Vaughan: good to know.
What is different about 24/7 emergency repair in Vaughan: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Emergency garage door repair in Vaughan
In Vaughan a call falls into one of two kinds. At a house it is about the car and the lock: a spring or cable gone, a door off its track, a garage that will not close or will not stay shut. At a unit it is about the bay: a door that cannot open to load or cannot close to lock up.
The shop is open every hour of every day, holidays included, and most repairs end in one visit with what the van carries. What counts as urgent is a door that cannot be made safe or secure. Anything else can wait for an ordinary visit.
Calls to Concord's industrial units
Concord is the main industrial district of Vaughan, so a call from there may be about a unit's overhead door and not a house door. Those doors are built for more cycles, and the fault can sit in the operator, the springs or a panel that has been struck, so the first question is which kind of door it is.
Say at the start that it is a unit and how the door is built, sectional or rolling steel, and the crew can bring parts that suit it. A bay that is down is handled as a commercial call, on the same all-hours line.
