- Another daily service call. This call had the garage door cables come loose and the garage door went crooked with rollers falling out of the tracks. Very dangerous but Dapper Dudes got the job done again.

What in the world caused the door to fall off in the first place 😮??
Love the grins when the job is done and all has gone well. To plan, if you will. 😃👍
Anything like a broom, 2x4x16 wood or anything along their height related, if they get any where near the vertical tracks while the garage door is in operating closing mode and it gets stuck, it pretty much causes the garage door to go side ways and would cause exactly how this specific garage door that @dapperdude is doing.
I always advise clients to not put anything within 4-6ft from the garage door and garage door vertical tracks for the same reason. Unless they are will to pay: $350-$400 each time then so be it.
I hope this answer helps.
Picked up several good tips watching this video. Helped me get my door back up and running again. Thanks for sharing your experience!
no problem. Glad the video could help you
This was a masterclass... Thanks
Yes sir. Thank you for watching and for the feedback. I try to be pretty thorough in explaining things to help others out if I can. Thank for the engagement brother. Stay blessed!
Nice job man! Learned a lot of things from you.
Thank you sir. That's what the videos are for. Appreciate the support.
thank you for doing this video. That door looked exactly like mine. I was able to get it back to work again thanks to your video.
No problem. Glad the content could help
I always carry extra pieces of rope and tie the door hinges to the track to keep it from falling as I insert the new rollers and then remove the ropes once everything is back together.
I may try that myself. Thanks for sharing sir
Thanks Bud. Very informative. Great job. Retired USAF Crew Chief on a limited income. You saved me hundreds of $$$.
no problem…:i’ll take donations for that, lol.
Great job!
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback
Okay new "subscriber" as luck would have it my garage door broke the spring! Retired Master GM tech. Retired two years now. Last time it broke I was working 12 hour days and really did not have the time to fool with it, but before I could get someone out to help me I got it back on the rollers. I just did not want to go to work and leave my garage door open! The guy that showed up convinced me that I needed new rollers and adjusted it. $450.00 for less than one hour work. I will not do that again. While I am waiting for my springs that are somewhere in shipping, cleaned up door. Repaired that top center where the bar got bent. I actually went to a overhead door place and got a new 16 foot brace. Since the other guy already got me for Teflon rollers, I replaced the loose hinges. I was surprised to find many loose bolts and set screws. Your video gave me a heads up on setting everything up once the springs get here. As an automotive suspension mechanic, I understand to give springs, torsion bars, and torsions springs the "respect" they deserve. Thanks.
Absolutely, thanks for the feedback and engagement. I hope you get your door fixed “safely” lol. Its really easy, just be careful. Easy breezy if you know what your doing but CAN be extremely dangerous if you don’t. Thank you for the subscription. Much appreciated.
Awesome video, I’m definitely subscribing 😎
Thank you for that. Appreciate the feedback
Love your videos so much!!!! I’m fixing to move to about 20 minutes from San Antonio, and would love to work with you sometime.

Where do you purchase extra Long rollers?
Heavy door get a forklift under it… or C grip the track so door can only travel down so far Good job no damage to door
Good thing you’re only wrestling a pan door. Been there before alone and it’s not a good time.
Right! Yeah if it were a wood overlay or insulated door I would probably call in reinforcements!
Your an Excellent teacher for sure Brother! I have fought doors in the past just like this and I wasnt using LONG STEM ROLLERS! Lately It seems like I always Have the wrong parts on my truck LOL. What are the common spring that you carry for just residential doors? Any help would be very helpful, Thanks Man! Keep the videos coming! 😎 OH, and dont worry.....Im in Arizona! far far away lol
Hey, sorry about the delayed response, but honestly ive flown across the country to different cities and worked and learned each demographic area kinda has an overall standard style of housing. Some mix but usually same. Here in Texas i typically install 207’s, 218’s, or 250’s on almost everything.
In Arizona i believe its going to be roughly the same but of course you always need to have a few of those not so needed parts incase situations arise
are those truck rack good for garage doors? is it easy to slide them off ?
absolutely. I have had the same kind for several years with never any issues. I've loaded the heaviest of steel doors along with other things at the same time such as all the torsion tubes etc and garage door openers. They work just fine. Love em.
Don't know if anyone watched Whitewater Gold Rush, but he sounds just like Dustin Hurt. Took me several videos to place why you sound so familiar.
Just saw this. I didn’t get the notification properly i apologize. I looked up this individual…. made me laugh a little. Thanks for the shoutout
Hi there ! First thank you for the videos . I’m in Cali I have issues with my garage door and by watching your videos I think I can fix it , but we will see. I have one Question! On this Video the door has one spring but my door has two springs on the bar . My door is wider than the one on this video. To tension up the springs am I going to do both springs or just one spring?
No u can absolutely do just one spring at a time. If necessary though, don’t crank all the needed tension on only one spring. Meaning, if u crank one side 3 times and the door doesn’t balance still, and more tension is still needed, then swap sides and put more turns on the other side.
By the way, it is better to have two springs instead of one.
Thank you very much! Looks like door is working great, plus I replaced all then wheels to the longer one like you did on the video. Again Thank you very much ,
@@augiequintero4147 no problem. Longer ones are much better. Every door needs em. Be blessed 🤙
full length operator bracket on that jacked up center style! just my opinion. gettin those off track doors back down is always shady. 😮
Definitely could have upsold that. But wasn’t necessary. Those center styles hold up just fine if they aren’t too ripped up. If that spring balances the door properly of course, and if it does then not much pressure if hardly any at all on that center style anyway. It’s more of a judgement call based on what u know and have experienced. If you know then you know when it’s hands down time to replace something.
What caused the door to fall off to begin with? And will it be happening again soon?
I believe the customer had a broom stick stored in the corner of the garage door and it fell over into the track line and then the garage door shut, hit the broom, and caused the cable one one side to come off.
And no, it won’t happen again because a Dapper Dude came through and those cables are tight now. However, it can happen again if they store things in the corner again which I did advise against.
What do you charge for something like that?
If rollers are out and cables are off, $379.99 no less. Never an issue with the customer either. They usually actually think it should cost more bc how bad it looks to them.
