Garage door won't open — Limassol, Limassol
A garage door that won't open can be caused by a broken torsion spring (most common — you'll hear a loud bang), a dead opener motor, stripped gears, a disconnected or broken cable, a misaligned track, or something as simple as dead remote batteries or a locked manual latch. If the spring is visibly broken (a gap in the coil above the door), do not attempt to open the door manually — the door weighs 150–400 lbs and the remaining spring cannot counterbalance it safely. A garage door technician ($75–$150/hour, $150–$350 for a spring replacement) can diagnose and fix the issue, usually same-day. If the opener motor hums but the door doesn't move, the gear may be stripped ($100–$200 to replace) or the disconnect cord was pulled.

Spoeddienst in Limassol
Emergency services in Limassol respond within 30–75 minutes in the urban core, Germasogeia, and the Agios Tychon tourist strip (faster than other Cypriot cities thanks to dense contractor supply). Callout rates run €45–€130 plus €30–€60/hour, slightly above Paphos and Larnaca because Limassol is the island's priciest labour market.
