Our story
How Akins Garage Door Service Started
Akins Garage Door Service opened its doors because too many Hermitage homeowners were being quoted full door replacements for problems a $220 spring swap would fix. Our founder grew up turning wrenches, learned the trade on residential and light commercial doors, and built this company around one rule: diagnose the actual failure before you sell anything. That rule still runs every call we take, from a snapped torsion spring on a two-car door in Stones River to a bent track on a roll-up at a warehouse off Lebanon Pike.
Today we run a full-service garage door company Hermitage residents use for repairs, new door sales, openers, and tune-ups. Our trucks carry LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers, Clopay and Amarr door panels, and the spring winding bars, clamps, and galvanized steel cables needed to finish most jobs in one visit. We cover Hermitage proper plus the surrounding neighborhoods, and we keep our schedule tight enough that a call before noon usually means a same-day fix.
Practical standards, local accountability.
Akins Garage Door ServiceWhat guides the work
What We Stand For
Our mission is simple: get your door moving safely, quietly, and correctly, then charge you a fair price for it. As local garage door experts in Hermitage Tennessee, we measure every spring against the door's actual weight, torque every hinge bolt, and test the safety reverse before we pack up. We won't sell you a new door when new nylon rollers and a track adjustment solve the problem. Your door closes all the way, your opener responds, and the invoice matches the number we quoted.
Our values
What Guides Every Job
Four things decide how we run a call, from the first phone ring to the final safety test. They're not slogans on a wall. They're the reasons we re-measure springs, stock parts on the truck, and answer the phone at 2 a.m. after a storm knocks a door off its track.
Diagnose Before We Quote
We put hands on the door before we name a price. That means checking the torsion springs, testing the opener's travel limits, and running a level across the track. A noisy door with worn steel rollers needs rollers, not a new opener. We tell you what failed, what it costs to fix, and what can wait.
Stock What We Need
Our vans carry torsion springs, extension springs, nylon rollers, hinges, weather seal, and LiftMaster, Genie, and Chamberlain remotes and keypads. That's how a broken spring at 8 a.m. becomes a working door by lunch. If a custom Clopay or Amarr panel has to be ordered, we tell you the lead time on the spot.
Code-Correct, Every Time
Every opener we install or repair meets UL 325 safety standard, and we test the photo-eye and auto-reverse before we leave your driveway. Our technicians follow OSHA safety compliance on ladders and springs, and we build to DASMA standards on track, hardware, and panel fit. Your door isn't just working. It's safe.
Local and Accountable
As a family owned garage door business Hermitage homeowners have relied on, we live where we work. If a cable frays three weeks after we replaced it, you call the same number and we come back. No call center, no ticket number, no runaround. Just the crew that did the job, standing behind it.
The people behind the work
The Crew Behind the Truck
Our technicians are full-time, background-checked, and trained on residential and commercial doors. Several carry IDEA certification, and every tech on the truck is a licensed garage door contractor or works directly under one. They know the difference between a frayed cable and a stretched one by feel, and they can tell you why your door slams by watching it close once. We run a small crew on purpose. That means the person who diagnoses your door is usually the person who fixes it, and the same faces show up in Hermitage year after year. When a spring snaps at 6 a.m. before work, one of our techs is already rolling with the right winding bars and a replacement spring in the van.

What Hermitage Neighbors Say
Our torsion spring snapped on a Sunday morning and the door would not budge. Akins had a tech out before noon, replaced both springs, and the door runs quieter than it did when we bought the house. Fair price, no upsell on a new door.
I called three companies about a door that kept reversing halfway down. Two tried to sell me a whole new opener. Akins found a misaligned safety eye, fixed it in twenty minutes, and charged me the minimum. That is why I will call them again.
We manage a small warehouse off the Old Hickory Boulevard Corridor and one of our roll-up doors jammed at 6 a.m. They came out, got it running, and scheduled the permanent fix for after hours so we did not lose a day of shipping.
Good work on the new carriage house door, and the install crew cleaned up everything before they left. Only reason it is not five stars is the door took a few days longer to arrive than I expected. The finished job looks great.
My opener died and I could not get the car out. They reprogrammed my remotes, replaced the logic board, and showed me how to reset the limits myself next time. Straight talk, no runaround, and they did not try to sell me anything extra.

We are licensed and insured, we carry LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie parts on the truck, and we test the safety reverse on every door we touch. Ask your neighbors, then call us and compare.
Yes. A door stuck open overnight or a car trapped inside is an emergency, and we take those calls around the clock. Call (615) 481-3508 and we will get a technician headed your way. If the door is off the track or a spring has snapped, do not run the opener.
Check three things: licensing and insurance, whether they quote before starting, and whether they carry parts on the truck. A company that has to order a common spring will leave your door down for days. Ask what brands they stock and whether the technician is IDEA certified.
Typical repairs run $149 to $349 for a single failed component like a roller, hinge, sensor or remote. Spring and cable rebuilds run $329 to $649 because springs are replaced in matched pairs. Opener repairs usually land in the $180 to $400 range depending on the part.
