The spring broke on our garage door. I called Fort Wayne Door and the had a repairman to our house in less the one hour! Their rep, Mark, was outstanding. He replaced the spring, oiled all the fittings, and checked the motor and track. Service and timing where great. Would give them more than five stars , if possible. Thank you FWD!!

We had Fort Wayne door come out to fix our broken spring on the garage door. Both gentlemen were very friendly, and Identified who they were. They arrived on time and were very courteous and efficient. The billing was exactly as quoted. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing services.

Bought a garage door from them a few years ago when I accidentally backed into our existing door, causing damage. They were great, timely and professional, so I didn’t hesitate to call them today when our springs on our garage door opener broke. They sent someone out within a few hours and repaired/replaced our issue in a timely fashion for a fair price. Highly recommended.

I ordered my garage door on August 3 and was told it would take 3 to 5 weeks to have it installed because of Covid. When I hadn't heard from them after 4 1/2 weeks I called and was assured my door would be installed that week or the following week. Four weeks later I still had not heard from them so I called again and the gentleman just kept saying COVID-19. Another week past and I never heard a word so I canceled my order. I called another company and had a door installed in eight days.

We had a garage door spring break last Friday night! Thanks to Bronson from Fort Wayne Door for replacing our 2 garage door springs. He did a good job! He asked me questions about the project, and all my answers were correct! I've known all about garage doors and openers my whole life!
