How to Reach Us
Lincolnwood Garage Door Pros is based at 7080 N McCormick Blvd, Lincolnwood, IL 60712. Call (224) 353-7699 to get someone on the phone about a job - a spring that let go, a door that won't close, an opener that runs but doesn't move the door. We work out of this address and cover the surrounding area day to day, so when you call, you're talking to the people who'll actually show up, not a dispatch center reading from a script. Tell us the make of the door if you know it, or just describe what it's doing (or not doing) and we can usually tell you what's likely wrong before we're on site.
We don't run a 24-hour emergency line - if that's what you need for a door that's stuck open overnight, say so when you call and we'll be straight with you about timing. Most calls get worked into the schedule within a day or two, sooner if a spring failure has left a door unusable and a car trapped inside.
Who Does the Work
The people who come to your house are the same people who talk to you on the phone and quote the job. We don't subcontract out to a rotating crew, and we don't sell you on a repair over the phone sight-unseen and then change the number at the door. A torsion spring job on a double door, a broken cable, a bent track from a car that clipped it backing out - these get diagnosed in person, because half the time what sounded like a spring problem on the phone turns out to be a roller or a bracket, and the fix (and the price) is different.
We work on residential doors - steel, wood, insulated panel, whatever's on the house - and on the openers that run them, chain drive and belt drive both. We don't do commercial rolling doors or fire doors, and we'll tell you that up front rather than take the job and figure it out as we go.
What We Actually Do
Spring replacement - torsion and extension - is the most common call, especially on single-piece and sectional doors from the older housing stock in this area. We also do cable replacement, roller and track repair, bent panel sections, opener repair and replacement (chain, belt, screw drive), and the sensor and safety-eye troubleshooting that comes with a door that reverses for no obvious reason.
This area sits in a cold-winter climate zone, and steel doors and torsion springs both take a beating from that seasonal temperature swing - springs lose tension faster, and steel panels can crack at the seams if a door's been fighting a frozen track. We see more spring failures in the cold months than any other time of year, which is just physics, not a sales pitch.
What we don't do: new construction framing, commercial fire-rated doors, or gate systems. If your door is old enough and rough enough that a repair would cost most of what a new door runs, we'll tell you that instead of patching it and sending you a bill you didn't need.
