A garage door that suddenly fails is more than an inconvenience. It is a security and safety concern that needs to be addressed right away. A door stuck in the open position leaves your home or business exposed to the elements and anyone passing by. A broken spring makes operating the door outright dangerous. A derailed track cuts off access to your vehicles, equipment, or stored belongings. Whether it is happening at a Thornton residence or a commercial property, these situations call for fast, professional help.
Select Garage Doors provides priority emergency garage door service for both homeowners and commercial customers throughout Thornton, CO.
Our call line is available 24/7. Call us anytime to report your situation. Service will be scheduled at the next available business hours, with urgent requests given priority.
Don't Take Our Word For It — Hear From 1,900+ Five-Star Reviews
Had a garage door put in in February it broke down in August. But they came and fixed it up all nice now it works great and they didn’t charge me for the repair service. So I think they did great on the fixer upper. And I would recommend them for garage door services they were nice and super professional about the whole thing. They let me know they stand by there products which is always a good motto to have and fixed me up nicely

I scheduled an appointment for an estimate. They were able to install right then. It didn’t take long and they cleaned everything up after themselves. The install went very well and they were meticulous about where the wires were placed coming out of the ceiling and kept it organized. The door opener is very quiet which is really nice.

I am so glad I called Select Garage doors. My spring broke on my garage door and locked me out of access to my house. They responded same day and were fast and efficient making sure we were aware of all things needed to keep the garage working. Technician was super informative and friendly as well. 100% recommend.

I called on a Saturday because my garage opener stopped working. Shaun came out the same day. Provided an estimate and he was back Sunday morning to replace it. Highly recommend!
Eric Peck
I had a very noisy garage door repair issue that was waking up my kids every morning. The technician replaced the rollers and checked the Genie opener repair needs. It’s now whisper-quiet! I am so happy with the price and the same-day garage door service.
Elliott Denisse
I’m absolutely thrilled with the service I received from Select Garage Doors! They installed a new garage door opener for me and were fantastic. On time, efficient, and explained everything thoroughly. Great price too, highly recommend!

A Garage Door Failure in Thornton Rarely Happens at a Good Time
A malfunctioning garage door rarely picks a convenient moment to break down. A spring that goes at night, a door that will not close before you leave for work, or an overhead door stuck open during a Colorado storm can put your property, your security, and your daily routine at risk in a hurry.
That is exactly the situation emergency garage door service is built for. Fast, professional attention gets your door back in safe working order so your home or business is not left exposed any longer than necessary.

If you call after hours, leave a message and your request will be prioritized first thing the next business day.

No. A broken spring means the door is no longer counterbalanced and can drop suddenly without warning. Do not attempt to open or close the door. Keep the area clear and call for professional service right away.
Yes. We provide emergency garage door service for both residential and commercial properties throughout Thornton and the surrounding metro area, covering everything from broken springs and snapped cables to off-track doors and failed commercial operators.
Any situation that leaves a door stuck open, prevents access to a vehicle or property, or makes the door unsafe to operate qualifies as an urgent repair need. Common emergency calls we handle include broken springs, snapped cables, doors off their tracks, damaged panels blocking movement, and openers that have stopped responding entirely.
Most garage door openers have a red emergency release cord hanging from the trolley. Pulling it disconnects the door from the opener so it can be lifted manually. Make sure the door is fully closed before pulling the cord to avoid the door dropping. If the springs are broken, do not attempt to lift the door manually, as it may be extremely heavy without counterbalance.
In most cases, yes. Off-track doors are one of the more common emergency calls we handle and our technicians carry the tools needed to realign the door and inspect the surrounding hardware during the same visit. Service will be scheduled at the next available business hours with urgent requests given priority.
