Garage doors have a funny sense of timing. They work fine for months, then jam the morning you're already running late. We've been there. We've helped dozens of homeowners around Reston - from North Point to Fox Mill - when their garage door decided to take a break. And we know how to fix it without turning your day upside down.
One afternoon, we got a call from a guy whose garage door froze shut right before a thunderstorm hit. Turned out the rollers were rusted solid. We got them moving again, replaced a cracked hinge, and set him up with a new weather-seal. He emailed later: "Didn't think I'd be laughing during a garage repair. You guys are fast - and human".
People know us for locksmith services - and yeah, we're great with keys. But garage doors are just another type of door, with bigger springs and more attitude. We fix them all over Reston. Homes with wood-paneled garage doors from the 80s. Modern smart garages. Detached sheds with busted padlocks. If it swings, rolls, clicks, or jams - we can probably fix it.
And it's not always dramatic. Sometimes, you just want the thing to stop making that awful squeak every time it opens. We'll lube the track, check the balance, tighten the hardware, and keep your neighbors happy.
If your garage door makes a "clunk", "screeeech", or just refuses to move, give us a shout. We'll bring the tools, the spare parts, and the straight answers.
We run a 24 hour locksmith service, but we don't stop at cars and house doors. Got a stuck garage at 2AM? We're mobile, and we're local locksmiths. One woman in South Reston called after her opener failed during a power outage. We helped her manually lift the door, reset the system, and even reprogrammed her remote while we were there. She left us a voicemail that said: "You guys made a crappy night a whole lot easier."
A: Depends on its age. If it's over 10 years old, repair might buy you time - but a newer model will be quieter, more secure, and easier to integrate with smart locks. We'll walk you through options. No pressure.
You'd be amazed how many "broken garage doors" just need a new CR2032. If your opener works from the wall button but not the remote, try swapping the battery first. Still no luck? Call us.
A lot of folks forget the garage is a big weak point in home security. We've rekeyed garage side doors, installed deadbolts on interior access doors, and even added access control systems that track who comes and goes. One family asked us to replace their keypad with a smart version that locked out after 3 wrong tries. Their teenagers were... less thrilled.
We show up. We listen. We get it done. You won't get transferred to a call center or stuck waiting three days for someone to look at it. We're based right here in Reston, and we fix garage doors like it's our own house on the line.
Call us if your garage door is stuck, squeaky, off-track, or just giving you attitude. Reston Locksmith VA will bring the fix - and maybe a laugh while we're at it.
