Upland Garage Door Co. has been serving Montclair homeowners with garage door repair from the first street across the Upland line, because Montclair is the closest city to our shop and the easiest to reach the same day. Montclair is a compact city of about 37,000 people, and most of its housing is the 1950s and 1960s single-story tract home with a single-car garage that still carries its original hardware.
Broken springs: the most common Montclair call
Many Montclair garages run extension springs along the track rather than a torsion spring over the door. Extension springs wear unevenly, and when one breaks the door tilts and jams. We replace both springs, add safety cables through them, and where there’s headroom convert the door to torsion so it lifts evenly. Spring repair runs $250-550.
Openers that have outlived their doors
The second most frequent call is an opener from the 1990s or earlier that hums, clicks or has no safety sensors. Openers built before 1993 can’t be brought up to the current safety standard and get replaced; newer ones usually need a gear or a capacitor. See opener repair.
Rollers, hinges and the noise next door
On small lots with garages a few feet from the neighbor’s bedroom window, a rattling door is a neighborhood problem. Sealed nylon rollers and fresh hinges turn a 1960s door nearly silent for a modest cost.
Townhomes near the Transcenter and the North Montclair plan
The newer townhomes going up around the Montclair Transcenter and the North Montclair downtown plan have tandem two-car garages with a single door cycling for two vehicles. That doubles the cycle count, and standard springs wear out in half the usual time; we spec high-cycle springs on those doors.
Holt and Mission Boulevard businesses
The auto shops, tire stores and small warehouses along Holt and Mission run roll-up and sectional commercial doors. We service and maintain them on the same schedule as our Upland commercial accounts; see commercial garage doors. New door installation is available throughout Montclair, and neighboring Ontario is covered the same way.
