We didn't build this business from a franchise playbook. Travis Ford started Direct Service right here in Central Arkansas.
When your garage door breaks in Cabot, you need a company that can actually get to you — not a national call center that puts you on a four-day wait. Direct Service is locally owned and based in the Little Rock metro, and we run calls in Lonoke County every week. Whether you're off Highway 89, in Greystone, River Oaks, the Austin corridor, or anywhere in the 72023 ZIP code, we can typically have a tech at your door the same day you call.
We've been in the garage door industry for 20 years. No franchise fees, no commission upsells — just honest work at fair prices. Our trucks are stocked for virtually every common repair so most Cabot jobs are completed in a single visit.
Most common call in Lonoke County. We replace torsion and extension springs with commercial-grade hardware rated for 20,000+ cycles. Both springs replaced on double-car doors.

Steel, carriage house, insulated, modern — we supply and install Doorlink garage doors. We haul off the old door at no charge. Free estimates.

Multi-point safety inspection: springs, cables, rollers, weatherstripping, opener force settings, safety reversal test. Annual maintenance prevents emergency calls.

"Being 69 years old this is my first time to purchase and have a new opener installed. Jessica was real patient with me due to my calling with questions, and emails. Parnell was the tech and he did a really good job. I never would have dreamed of the huge difference a belt drive makes verses a..."
"Called at 7am and had an appointment that morning. Michael informed us that he could try to fix the door, but it would be costly and no guarantee it would work. We ordered a new door and he had installed the next day (Saturday). Michael did a great job. I have used Direct before at my other..."
"My garage door was damaged due to my negligence. I called the at 0630 and they had Travis out later that day to check it out. He got the door open to allow me to get my vehicle out. The very next day Travis showed up with all the equipment and finished extremely quickly. Cleaned up everything..."

Arkansas humidity is the primary cause. Moisture corrodes spring coils from the inside out, causing metal fatigue. Standard springs rated for 10,000 cycles often fail in 5–7 years here instead of the expected 10. Temperature swings between 100°F summers and freezing winters add stress.

Yes. We install LiftMaster and Genie openers — belt-drive, chain-drive, wall-mount, and smart Wi-Fi models. Installation includes programming remotes, setting travel limits, adjusting force settings, and testing safety sensors.
A broken spring means the door will weigh 150–300 pounds. We strongly recommend calling a professional. If you need to open it in an emergency, get help, lift carefully from the bottom, and clamp a vice grip on the track below the bottom roller to hold it open. Call us immediately.
Every repair includes our 3-year parts warranty. If anything we installed fails under normal use within three years, we return at no cost. We use commercial-grade springs, cables, and rollers because they perform better in Cabot's climate.
Yes. 0% financing through Synchrony Financial is available for new door installations, opener replacements, and larger repairs. Ask your technician or call our office to apply.
