Our Haughton emergency repair approach is shaped by Louisiana's humid subtropical region, where a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That context decides which springs, rollers, and seals actually last on your door.
Climate is half the story for a garage door in Bossier Parish. Given a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity, Haughton doors wrestle with frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers.
Nine out of ten Haughton calls trace back to swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. We pinpoint which one it is before quoting a cent.
An emergency garage door call usually starts the same way: a snapped spring at 6 a.m., a car trapped inside before the morning commute, or a door stuck halfway open exposing your home. We run a true daily dispatch — not a voicemail that gets picked up Monday morning — and our average response time in cities where we keep a local crew is 78 minutes from your call to a tech on your driveway.
Emergency calls are flat-rate, not hourly. You'll have a quoted price before the truck rolls, and we charge no after-hours surcharge for the most common emergencies (broken springs, off-track doors, lock-outs). Our trucks are stocked for the failure modes that cause emergencies — torsion springs in five common sizes, replacement cables in two diameters, roller stems, and emergency-release re-set kits — so the typical emergency call results in a same-visit fix.
We also handle commercial emergencies. If you run a fleet bay or storefront roll-up that has to be operational before opening, we'll dispatch immediately and prioritize a temporary safe-state (door secured and openable) over a perfect repair if the parts aren't on the truck.

A power outage with the door open is an emergency because the home is exposed. Battery-backup-equipped openers handle this automatically; older units need a manual release and lock-down.
Car trapped inside
Spring or cable failure usually leaves the door stuck closed with the vehicle inside. Lifting manually is dangerous on an unbalanced door — call before attempting.
Door off the tracks
Off-track doors can fall completely if you continue to operate the opener. Stop using the door immediately and call for emergency response.
Opener not responding, door closed
If your only way out is the garage and the opener won't respond, we'll dispatch immediately rather than booking a routine appointment.
Visible damage from impact
Backed-into doors with bent panels or twisted tracks can fail catastrophically. Photograph the damage and call before attempting any further use.
Common causes & what we fix
Spring failure
By far the most common emergency cause — cycle fatigue brings springs to end-of-life on a fairly predictable schedule, but the failure itself is sudden.
Cable snap or drum slip
Lift cables fray and snap from corrosion, mis-spooling, or impact. A cable snap usually leaves the door off-track on one side.
Opener motor or gear failure
Older openers with worn nylon gears strip suddenly, leaving the door stuck mid-travel or non-responsive.
Track impact damage
Vehicles backing into the door or bumping the track frame can twist the rails enough that the door binds or jumps the track on the next cycle.
Logic board failure
Surge damage to opener electronics can leave the door unresponsive to remotes and wall consoles. The motor itself may still be fine — only the brain needs replacing.
