For a garage door stuck open, a car trapped inside, or a door hanging off its track, call Fort Brothers at (877) 547-9033 any hour, any day. We’re a family-owned mobile team covering Dallas–Fort Worth. Until we arrive, keep people and pets clear of the door and don’t try to force it.
Some garage door problems can wait for a regular appointment. Others can’t: a door stuck open leaves your home unsecured, a car trapped inside means you can’t get to work, and a door hanging crooked on one cable can fall. That’s what our 24/7 emergency service is for.
When you call, tell us what you see and hear. We’ll help you decide whether it’s safe to leave until morning and, if it isn’t, get one of us headed your way. We come to you anywhere in Dallas–Fort Worth, and we give you the estimate before starting the work.
Know the signs
When is a garage door problem an emergency?
The door is stuck open
Your home and belongings are exposed overnight. We can secure the door or complete the repair.
Your car is trapped
Usually a broken spring or a failed opener. We can often release and fix the door the same day.
The door is crooked or hanging
A cable came off its drum or snapped. A door hanging on one side can fall — keep clear.
The door came off its tracks
Rollers out of the track after a car bump or a failed cable. Don’t try to force it back.
A panel or section is badly damaged
After a vehicle impact or storm, the door may not close or may be unsafe to operate.
Spring snapped with the door open
The door may slam if the opener is disconnected. Keep everyone out from under it.
Our process
What happens when you call after hours?
Tell us what’s going on
Call (877) 547-9033. We’ll ask a few questions — what happened, what the door looks like, whether a car is inside — and give you safety steps while you wait.
We come to you
Our mobile service covers the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, and we’ll give you an honest idea of timing when you call.
Make it safe, then fix it
First we stabilize the door so nobody gets hurt. Then we diagnose and give you an estimate for the repair before doing the work.
Secure your home
Many emergency repairs can be completed on the first visit. If a part has to be ordered, we’ll work to get the door closed and secured in the meantime.
North Texas conditions
Why emergencies spike during North Texas weather
Severe spring storms bring high winds and hail that can dent panels, knock doors out of alignment or force a door off its tracks. Power outages leave homeowners pulling the manual release on doors whose springs were already tired — and that’s often when a spring finally gives out.
In the heat of summer, springs and openers near the end of their life tend to fail when they’re used most. In a hard freeze, the bottom seal can stick to the slab, so the opener strains or reverses. Whatever the weather, we answer 24/7.
Pricing
What affects the cost of an emergency repair?
Every door is different, so the price depends on what’s actually wrong. These are the main things that affect your estimate:
- What failed. A spring, cable, opener or off-track door each involve different parts and time.
- Extent of damage. Bent track sections, damaged panels or multiple broken parts add to the job.
- Time of day. After-hours, weekend and holiday calls are part of our 24/7 service; we’ll explain how timing affects your estimate before any work begins.
- Temporary vs. permanent fix. If a part must be ordered, securing the door now and completing the repair later may be quoted as two steps.
No-cost estimates before work starts, and no service-call fee when we do the work.
While you wait for the technician
Leave the door where it is
If the door is crooked, stuck or a cable is loose, do not force it up or down. Moving it can bend panels or drop the door.
Unplug the opener
Unplugging stops the opener from trying to lift a door with a broken spring, which can strip gears or bend the rail.
Keep people and pets clear
A door with a broken spring or cable can fall. Keep everyone away from the opening until we arrive.
Secure the house
If the door is stuck open overnight, lock the door from the garage into the house and move valuables inside.

FAQ
Emergency Garage Door Repair FAQs
Do you offer 24 hour emergency garage door repair?
Yes. We answer 24/7, including nights and weekends, and send a technician as soon as one is available. Call (877) 547-9033 or text (469) 300-3561.
Is emergency garage door repair available in Fort Worth and Dallas?
Yes. We cover Dallas, Fort Worth and the cities around them, with an office in Mesquite and technicians on both sides of the Metroplex.
Do you really answer at night and on weekends?
Yes. Fort Brothers offers 24/7 emergency garage door service across Dallas–Fort Worth, including nights, weekends and holidays.
My door is stuck open. What should I do until you arrive?
Keep people and pets away from the opening, unplug the opener, and don’t try to force the door down. If you can, move valuables out of sight and lock the door between the garage and the house.
My car is trapped because the door won’t open. Can you help?
Yes. A trapped car is usually caused by a broken spring or a failed opener. We can typically release the door and complete the repair on the same visit.
The door is hanging crooked. Is that dangerous?
Yes. A crooked door usually means a cable has come off or snapped, and the door can fall. Stay clear and call us.
Can I close the door manually if the opener dies?
If the springs are working, pulling the emergency release lets you move the door by hand. If the door is extremely heavy, a spring is probably broken — don’t force it.
Do you charge to come out?
We give no-cost estimates, and there’s no service-call fee when we do the work. We’ll explain any after-hours considerations when you call.
Which areas does your emergency service cover?
Our mobile service covers the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex — from Fort Worth, Keller and Mansfield to Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Garland and Mesquite. See our service area page for the full list.
Is it safe to close a garage door with a broken spring?
Do not try to lift or lower it by hand or with the opener. The door can weigh well over a hundred pounds without the spring holding it. Call (877) 547-9033 and we will secure it.
How fast can an emergency tech get to me?
It depends on where you are and how many calls are ahead of you, but we send the closest available tech and give you an arrival window when you call. Many emergency calls are handled the same day or night.
Can you secure a garage door that was hit by a car or damaged in a storm?
Yes. We can secure a bent or off-track door so your garage closes, then repair or replace the damaged sections or the whole door. Keep clear of the door until we get there.
