We specialize exclusively in garage doors. It’s all we do, and we do it at an All Star level.

No call-center runaround. No generalist guessing.
Why All Star Garage Door Co Is Silver Lakes’s Preferred Garage Door Repair Company
Troy Winslow and the team at All Star Garage Door Co built our reputation inside Silver Lakes one door at a time. A planned golf community like this one has a particular rhythm: part-time residents come and go, HOA notices go out, and garage doors that sat through the desert summer need attention fast. We know what to expect here, and that local knowledge means faster diagnostics and the right fix instead of a trial-and-error guess.
Whatever brand is on your door or opener, we know it. Our techs work on LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor equipment, so the opener your house was built with in 1985 doesn’t send us scrambling. Silver Lakes homeowners also tell us the same thing after every job: the price we quoted before work started is what they paid. We keep that standard because it’s the only honest way to work in a community where word travels fast.
Local knowledge here matters. We know that a door near the golf course faces blowing grit that a door near the lake edge doesn’t get the same way. We know which streets were built in which phase. That’s the kind of detail you get when you call a company whose techs drive into Silver Lakes every week. Call us at (855) 684-6988 for garage door repair in Silver Lakes, and we’ll give you a straight answer about what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it.
Styles & brands we work with






Garage Door Spring Repair in Silver Lakes
Garage door spring repair in Silver Lakes usually means replacing a torsion or extension spring assembly that’s reached the end of its cycle life, and it’s the most common urgent repair we handle across 92342. Springs do the actual lifting, and when one snaps, the door becomes dead weight that no opener can move. A snapped spring on a 1980s tract door often happens right at the first cycle after months of closed-down disuse, because the metal has sat under load through temperature swings and desert heat.
Legacy spring failures on tract-built doors
Silver Lakes homes were largely built in the 1970s through 1990s, and many still run original or first-replacement spring assemblies. When one house on a street loses a spring, the neighbor’s same-model door is often weeks or months behind. We stock the spring sizes and mount types common to Silver Lakes’s HOA-era construction, so we can usually complete a spring replacement in one visit.
Spring repair in Silver Lakes runs $180 – $340, and that covers both springs on a standard two-car door plus balancing and a cycle test. Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if mishandled. We don’t recommend touching these yourself; call us and let a trained tech do it safely.
Garage Door Sensor Repair in Silver Lakes
Garage door sensor repair in Silver Lakes most often means replacing or realigning a photo-eye that has drifted or failed after months of sun, heat, and dust exposure. These sensors sit low, and in the High Desert they collect grit and take direct heat day after day. When a sensor reads a phantom obstruction, the opener refuses to close, and the door reverses right back up. We see this constantly on older Genie and Craftsman openers that have sat uncovered through Silver Lakes summers.
Dust and heat related sensor failures
Blowing Mojave grit coats the sensor lenses and works its way into the mount brackets, knocking the beam out of alignment. A homeowner who hasn’t used the door in six months may come back to an opener that won’t respond the way it should. Our techs clean the lenses, verify alignment, and replace any sensor that heat has warped or cracked.
Sensor repair in Silver Lakes falls under our general Garage Door Repair scope, with most jobs completed between $120 and $150 depending on whether we solder in a new eye or just realign and clean the existing set. We carry sensors for LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Genie openers on the truck, so a sensor problem rarely means ordering parts and waiting days.
Trusted Brands We Service in Silver Lakes
Whatever name is on the motor housing or stamped on the door panel, we know it. All Star Garage Door Co techs are trained across eight major manufacturers, but around Silver Lakes we spend most of our time on Raynor, LiftMaster, and Chamberlain equipment because those brands dominate the homes built here in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. We keep common parts for these brands stocked and ready, which means a spring, a sensor, a roller set, or a circuit board doesn’t put your repair on hold while we chase down a distributor. When a Silver Lakes homeowner calls about a broken opener, odds are we have what’s needed to fix it that same visit. Our single-trade focus means one hundred percent of our parts inventory, training, and truck stock goes into garage doors. This isn’t a handyman operation squeezing a door repair between plumbing and electrical jobs.

AfterCommon Garage Door Repair Problems We See in Silver Lakes Homes
- First-cycle spring failures after seasonal closings. Doors that sat closed for months under spring tension snap on the first lift when a snowbird returns. We inspect and replace both springs so the door cycles clean through the season.
- Grit-packed tracks and dried rollers. Mojave dust blows into the track channels and works into hinges and roller bearings. The door gets loud, then it gets stiff, then it binds. We clean, lubricate, and replace what’s worn.
- Opener motors straining against a door that’s out of balance. A LiftMaster or Chamberlain motor that suddenly sounds heavy is usually fighting a door that springs no longer balance. Fixing the springs before the motor burns out saves the opener.
- Sensor eyes failing after heat and sun. Photo-eye sensors on older openers drift out of alignment or crack in prolonged heat. The door reverses for no reason, and the fix is often a realignment or a sensor swap.

FAQs About Garage Door Repair in Silver Lakes
Your door’s springs were under tension the entire time you were gone, and the High Desert heat cycles plus sudden temperature drops work-harden the metal. When you hit the opener on your first morning back, the spring snapped because it was already past its rated cycle life. This is the most common seasonal call we get in Silver Lakes, and we fix it by replacing both springs, rebalancing the door, and testing the opener under load. Call (855) 684-6988 if your door jammed on the first cycle after your return.
That depends on what’s failed. If the springs, cables, or a sensor are the problem, repairing usually makes sense; those are wear parts, and fixing them restores a structurally sound door. If the panels are cracked, the bottom seal is shot, the tracks are warped, or the opener is original and failing, a new door and opener often cost less long-term than repeated band-aids. We give you the repair number and the replacement number side by side, and you choose. New door installation in Silver Lakes runs $700 – $2,200 depending on size and insulation.
Your opener motor is probably compensating for a door that’s lost its balance, usually because the springs have weakened or a track has shifted. If the motor runs hot or sounds like it’s laboring, it’s doing extra work that will shorten its life. We diagnose the whole system, not just the motor. Fixing the balance problem often rescues the opener from an early failure. Call us for an inspection before you burn out a motor that didn’t need replacing.
In Silver Lakes, probably yes. The tract construction pattern here means your house and your neighbor’s house likely have the same door model installed in the same era with the same spring cycle count. We regularly see failure patterns move down a street within a few months. A quick spring check and balance test costs a visit, and if we catch a spring before it snaps, you skip the emergency call and the damage that can come with a sudden failure.
Yes. We coordinate with owners remotely all the time. You can call us from wherever you are, describe what’s happening, and we can schedule a visit. We’ll work with a neighbor, property manager, or HOA contact for access, send you photos and a written quote before any work starts, and bill after the repair is complete. If your door failed the first time you opened it after a season away, we can get it fixed before you’re back or right after you arrive.
This page is built around what actually happens to garage doors in Silver Lakes: the shared tract-door wear timeline, the snowbird first-cycle snap, the dust and heat that age hardware faster than the coast. If that matches what you’re seeing in your garage, call (855) 684-6988 and we’ll walk you through what’s next. Estimates are free, the price is set before work begins, and the tech who shows up is a garage door specialist – not a generalist.
