Garage doors · College Grove, Tennessee
We sell the best garage doors and service the rest.
Chad Caro has hung garage doors since 1994 and started Kingdom Doors in Franklin in 2008. His son Clay runs it now — broken springs and thrown cables, new doors, and stained wood carriage doors for houses still going up.

Father and son
Thirty-two years of doors, two Caros
Chad started the company in 2008 so he could keep his own hours while his wife fought an aggressive spinal tumor and their three boys were small. By then he had fourteen years in the trade: subdivision doors in Pensacola, then lead commercial installer and service manager for garage door companies here.
Clay helped him on jobs as a kid, finished Centennial High in Franklin in 2017, went on to MTSU, and took over the day-to-day in 2020. Customers name them both in their reviews. More about the two of them on the About page.
Repairs
What’s the door doing?
Most calls start with one of these. Pick the closest and you’ll find what usually causes it and what the fix involves.
- A spring snappedThe door is suddenly too heavy to lift and the opener strains or quits. New springs, set to the door’s weight.
- The door is hanging crookedOne side came down and the other didn’t: a cable jumped its drum. Re-hung, level, before it bends a track.
- Somebody backed into itA bent bottom section can often be straightened and braced with a strut instead of buying a whole new door.
- The opener won’t cooperateForce and sensor errors, a lightning-struck circuit board, dead keypads and remotes, MyQ and car programming.
- It’s loud, or it’s been yearsLubrication, the spring tension set again and an inspection, with a straight answer about what can wait.
- Something else entirelyBottom rubbers and thresholds letting water in, worn vinyl seals, gate openers on sliding and swinging gates.

In their words
What customers wrote, unedited
“Last night, one of the springs on my garage door mechanism broke. … I called Chad with Kingdom Doors. He arrived promptly at 8:30 this morning and replaced 2 springs for me. Only one had snapped but I decided to go ahead and replace both as the other may fail soon too. … He also replaced the track rollers for a very minimal extra … My garage opens and closes so much more quietly now.”
Melissa, Franklin
“Their task was to install a custom garage door for us. Him and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was installed to the manufacturer specs. He even went to the extent to communicate with the manufacturer directly to solve and issues.”

“Clay + helper came out in the freezing cold to do my garage door repair: under 55 degrees, the door would go up but not down. … Who knew a garage door box had a mother board?”
Barbara, Smyrna
“I had a small crack that was getting larger on my garage door … They came over and assessed this quickly and I had it replaced within a week. Emerson was friendly and was great with any questions we had.”

Answers
Questions people ask before they call
Can I call Kingdom Doors for a garage door emergency at night or on a weekend?
Yes. Kingdom Doors takes emergency calls 24/7 at (615) 810-6415 — a door stuck open with the house unlocked, a car trapped behind a snapped spring, a door off its track after a storm. Call rather than fill in the form when it can’t wait; the phone reaches us faster.
Will you work on a garage door that another company installed?
Yes. Chad’s line has always been “we sell the best garage doors and service the rest,” so we repair doors and openers we didn’t install, Genie and other opener brands included, alongside the LiftMaster openers we’re authorized to install and service.
What garage door brands does Kingdom Doors install?
We install Amarr garage doors, LiftMaster openers as an authorized installer, and wood doors from Carriage House Doors of North Carolina as an authorized distributor, with National PreFinish among the other lines. Which door suits a house depends on its style, the budget and the opener it has to work with.
How long has Kingdom Doors been in business?
Since 2008, when Chad Caro started the company in Franklin, and Chad has hung garage doors since 1994, when he began as a subdivision installer in Pensacola. His son Clay has run the business day to day since 2020, so it’s been a father-and-son company for over five years.
How do I pay for a garage door repair, and will you bill my insurance?
Payment is due from the homeowner at the time of service; we don’t bill insurance companies directly. On a storm or accident claim we write the estimate for your adjuster, do the work once it’s approved, and you send our paid invoice to your insurer for reimbursement.
Is Kingdom Doors rated with the Better Business Bureau?
Yes — the BBB rates Kingdom Doors LLC A+, with no complaints filed in the last three years. The business isn’t BBB-accredited, which is a paid membership; the rating stands on its own. HomeAdvisor shows 4.96 stars from 38 reviews under Kingdom Doors, LLC.
