Fayette County garage door springs and openers, worked on from Berry
Door stuck shut with a broken spring, or an opener that only runs when it feels like it? Our service office is in Berry, in the southeast corner of Fayette County, so this is the county we know road by road.

- Springs, cables and openers
In Fayette County about half of all homes were built before 1980, so we find original extension springs, frayed lift cables and openers with no safety sensors more often than in Tuscaloosa. Our Berry office sits on State Route 18, 17 miles east of Fayette. Call, describe what the door does, and we set the visit.
Fayette County
Older garages, longer driveways, the same broken springs
Fayette County's median home dates to 1980, which puts a lot of garages here on hardware from the 1970s and 1980s. Doors of that age often lift on extension springs stretched along the side tracks, held by a safety cable if the installer added one and by nothing if he did not. When one of those springs lets go, it can whip across the garage. On older doors we often recommend a torsion conversion in Tuscaloosa, which puts the lifting force on a shaft above the door where it cannot fly loose.
About 22 percent of the county's homes are mobile homes, so many properties have no attached garage at all and keep vehicles and tools in a detached metal building instead. Those buildings tend to have wider or taller doors than a house garage, and the springs, rollers and cables have to be sized to that door's weight, not borrowed from a standard two-car setup.

See the serviceGarage Door Opener Repair
Older chain-drive openers that grind, stall halfway or no longer reverse when something crosses the door.
See the serviceGarage Door Cable Replacement

Berry, State Route 18 and the rest of Fayette County
Our service office is in Berry, a town of 1,216 people on State Route 18 in southeastern Fayette County, 17 miles east of Fayette and 16 miles west of Oakman. Berry sits between the North River and Cedar Creek, and on April 27, 2011 tornadoes struck the town twice. From the county seat, US 43 carries north to Winfield and south through Northport to Tuscaloosa. Across the county, 78.4 percent of homes are owner-occupied and half were built before 1980, which is why spring, cable and opener calls outnumber new-door calls here.
If you live in town, our Fayette page covers the county seat in more detail. For the rest of the county, tell us the road and the nearest town when you call so we can plan the route.
