Postwar houses, rentals and duplexes
According to the Census Bureau's 2024 five-year American Community Survey, Haltom City has about 18,900 housing units and the median home was built in 1978. About 59 percent of the units are single-family detached houses, about half of occupied homes are owner-occupied and the rest are rented, so we work for homeowners, landlords and property managers. The survey also counts about 1,000 homes in two-to-four-unit buildings.
The Handbook of Texas dates the city to around World War II, with about 200 residents in the late 1940s and 5,760 by about 1950 after it incorporated. The Home Rule Charter followed in 1955, according to Wikipedia. Much of the housing is decades old, and original doors and openers are common.
Tell us your cross street and whether the door is a single, a double or a pair, and we book the soonest visit. We weigh and balance each door before choosing new springs.

What Haltom City weather does to a garage door
The closest station is Fort Worth Meacham, whose 1991-2020 normals on Wikipedia give a July mean daily high of 95.7 degrees and a January mean low of 35.3, with about 35 inches of precipitation a year. Heat wears springs, cables and weatherstripping, and a freeze stiffens grease on rollers and hinges.
Wikipedia says the area is very susceptible to supercell thunderstorms with large hail and tornadoes. A third-party storm-report site lists golf-ball-size hail at Haltom City on April 2, 2023, which we could not confirm with the National Weather Service. Hail dents steel panels, and wind can bend a track. Know where the manual release is in case of an outage.
Twice a year, wipe the tracks, lubricate the rollers and hinges, and test the safety reverse. After a storm, look for dents and bent track sections before you run the opener.
- Lubricate rollers and hinges twice a year
- Check panels and tracks after hail
- Know where the manual release is

Doesn't get any better than this guy! I have recently purchased a condo with a broken garage door opener. It was missing some brackets. I called them, and Emil came out promptly the next morning. On time! He was able to run back to his shop and get the bracket I needed. It took him less than an hour to complete the entire project! My garage door works great now. I said a little thank you to Emil as I opened my garage door late last night and drove in my garage. I would definitely call him again if I needed anything done with my garage door. Highly recommend, plus he's just a super nice guy, which the process so much easier. Thanks Emil!Winston · Google review

Called the office to let them know my issues and asked if we could get someone out to look at my door. Was told between 11-12...drove home from work at 11:05 and Emil was waiting and ready to get to work. Not knowing anything about how to fix a garage door, Emil did a great job explaining why I was having issues. Quoted a reasonable price (well at least what I thought was reasonable) and less than 40 minute later he had fixed the problem. Great customer service from intake of the call to fixing my door! If you need a garage door repair...support local business and give them your business, you won't be disappointed.Guadalupe · Google review
My garage door and opener were pretty banged up and not working properly. Emil Garage Doors came out, did a thorough evaluation of door and all it's parts. Even though the previous home owner rigged up the garage door opener with the wrong springs and parts, Emil repaired the door and saved us money by using some of the old parts. That kind of honesty will get 5 stars all day long. Thank you Emil Garage Doors for your great service.Bradford · Google review

Opener safety. Federal rules (the Consumer Product Safety Commission's standard for automatic residential garage door operators, 16 CFR part 1211) require openers made for homes to reverse the door when it meets an obstruction and to have a separate entrapment protection device, which on most openers is the pair of photo-eye sensors near the floor. If your opener ignores the sensors or does not reverse, stop using it and call us. See opener installation.
HOAs and style rules. If you live in a planned community or a historic district, check style and color rules before you choose a new door. See new garage doors for styles.
City permits. Haltom City is its own city. City Hall is at 4801 Haltom Road, main phone 817-222-7700, and Planning and Community Development Inspections is at 817-222-7730. All contractors must register with the city to receive permits. Homeowners working on their own residence are exempt if the property has a homestead exemption with the Tarrant Appraisal District and their driver's license matches the address. The city adopted the 2024 International Building and Residential Codes in July 2025 with local amendments. Its permit FAQ does not mention garage doors, so we could not confirm whether a garage door replacement needs a permit. Call Planning Inspections before the work or visit haltomcitytx.com.
Texas rules. We found no Texas statewide license for garage door contractors. The Texas Department of Public Safety says installing garage door or gate openers needs no DPS license unless the opener is connected to an alarm system or can monitor or log who comes and goes.

Haltom City garage door repair: questions we hear
Is there garage door repair near me in Haltom City?
Yes. Emil Garage Doors repairs garage doors in Haltom City (ZIP 76117) and the neighborhoods next door. Call (214) 382-3772, tell us your street or neighborhood and what the door does, and we book the soonest visit. See garage door repair near me.
What is the average price to repair a garage door in Haltom City?
Typical prices: a 12-point safety inspection is $89, a torsion spring pair for a standard two-car door is $250 to $450 (heavy-duty springs $350 to $900), a cable pair is $175 to $350, and a belt-drive opener installed with battery backup is $550 to $900. The final price is confirmed after we see the door.
What is the most common garage door repair in Haltom City?
Broken torsion springs are among the most common garage door repairs, because springs wear out after a set number of open-and-close cycles. Cables, rollers, safety sensors and off-track doors follow. See garage door spring repair.
How much is a service call for a garage door?
Our 12-point safety inspection is $89. It covers the springs, cables, rollers, tracks, sensors and opener, and we explain what we find before any repair starts.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a garage door?
A repair is usually cheaper when the door itself is sound and only a spring, cable, roller or sensor failed. Replacement makes sense when panels are bent or rotted, the door is very old or the opening needs a different size. We tell you which one fits before we start.
Which ZIP codes do you serve in Haltom City?
Haltom City's main street ZIP code is 76117, and the north-west part is in 76137. Listings also tie 76111 and 76148 to the city, shared with Fort Worth, Watauga and North Richland Hills. Call us if you are not sure we reach your address.
Do you work for landlords and property managers in Haltom City?
Yes. About half of Haltom City homes are rented, according to the Census Bureau's survey, and we fix doors for owners and managers alike. Send us the address and the problem and we book a visit.
Do I need a permit to replace a garage door in Haltom City?
We could not confirm that a garage door replacement needs a permit, because the city's permit FAQ does not mention garage doors. Ask Planning Inspections at 817-222-7730 before the work.
Can a handyman fix a garage door?
A handyman can handle a sensor or a roller. Springs and cables are under high tension and need a trained technician, so we do not recommend fixing them yourself.
How do I test my garage door's safety reverse and sensors?
Close the door with the opener, then lay a 2x4 flat on the floor in the door's path. The door should touch it and reverse. For the sensors, start the door closing and pass a broom handle through the beam near the floor. The door should stop and go back up. If either test fails, stop using the automatic close and call us for a repair.
